Are You Hip to the Jive?!
|
By Violeta Gonzales
Dance (specifically partner social dancing) is a great way to meet people, belong to a community, exercise, and practice wellness. All dance styles have a long lineage of extensive roots from regions, time eras, and are continuously transforming and progressing based on the needs of those who engage in a particular dance form. Lindy Hop Swing is an amazing dance style that is still very active today. It is the grandparent of all swing dances (such as- Jitterbug/East Coast Swing, West Coast Swing, Collegiate Shag, Balboa, and many jazz line dance routines- Shim Sham, Tranky Doo, Big Apple and others). It was created in the streets of Harlem, New York by black youth in the late 1920's who were not allowed to dance in white only night clubs. White youth danced in upright positions such as Ballroom, which was very popular at the time. To counter racial segregation practices, many black youth created their own type of dance that looked completely different from Ballroom. -Read More
