As we have seen in the previous class, Jazz is just one of the different genres which was originated in United States. 

Swing is another genre, an exciting evolution in jazz music that broke out of New Yorks Harlem district in the late 1920s. With this new sound, a new dance was created, called the lindy hop. Lindy hop developed from dancers mimicking other dance crazes of the time, including the Charleston and the foxtrot.

Lindy hop was fast and intricate, to match the music being produced by the big bands. But over time the bands got smaller and the dancing evolved with the music. Over the following 30 years, the dance was re-branded (amongst other names) jitterbug, boogie-woogie and rock’n’roll.
