Swing: From The Prohibition Era Until Today
Swing evolved in the late 1920s from the Charleston, a dance first danced by African-American dock workers in Charleston Harbor in 1923 that became popular worldwide.
The dance was modified by the Americans and became a dance for couples.
Its name comes from the English verb swing, which means to swing, to swing, precisely because the music was cheerful and rhythmic and because it was combined with the corresponding dance that required agility.
The word “Swing” was originally used to describe a form of Jazz music and was later identified with the dances performed to the background of this music.
