Swing Dance developed in the United States in the 1920s and 1930s. Jazz flourished during that bleak period, and the dance halls were packed, lifting and soothing people’s spirits and providing them with a cathartic outlet.
Originally “Swing” referred to the style of jazz music that inspired dance. With the popularity of big bands such as Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington and Paul Whiteman, so did swing dancing. Like jazz, swing dance is relaxing and full of changes. After a few basic dance steps, you can swing freely according to the rhythm of your body, mind and music.
As a social dance, Swing communicates with people through dance. Here, you don’t have to worry about finding topics, just open yourself up, follow the swinging dance steps, and sweat with old and new friends in joyful jazz music. Pure joy.
The retro and playful swing dance has a history of nearly half a year, and it is active to this day. It is a typical activity of texture and retro life, and has become the first choice for too many stressful urbanites for leisure and entertainment after get off work.
