History of the Dance 摇摆舞历史

Swing dance is “most commonly known as a group of dances that developed with theswing style of jazz music in the 1920s-1950s, although the earliest of these dances predate “swing era” music. The best known of these dances is the Lindy Hop, a popular partner dance that originated in Harlem in 1927 and is still danced today. Lindy was a fusion of many dances that preceded it or were popular during its development but is mainly based on jazz, tap, breakaway and Charleston”. Swing music is an interesting mix of blues, ragtime and jazz. It features the syncopated timing associated with African culture that swing dancers interpret as ‘triple steps’.

摇摆舞被普遍认为是随着爵士摇摆乐的兴起发展起来的舞种，虽然它最早在“摇摆时代”来临之前已经出现。其中最有名的当属1927年发源于纽约哈勒姆区并流行至今的双人林迪舞。林迪舞融合了各种在它发展之前和期间的舞蹈元素，主要有爵士舞，踢踏舞和查尔斯顿舞。摇摆舞音乐有趣地结合了蓝调，拉格泰姆和爵士的音乐元素。它所具有的来自于非洲文化独特的切分节奏特征，由摇摆舞者诠释演绎为经典的“三叠步”。

Over years, swing dance has morphed into other types of dancing including Charleston, Lindy Hop, East Coast Swing, Balboa, Boogie Woogie, Authentic Jazz among many others. The history of swing dance is basically divided into 3 distinctive stages.  It was originated in the 20’s in clubs in Harlem (e.g. Harlem Savoy Ballroom) and around Manhattan, and prospered  nationwide and globally over the 30’s Great Depression through post-second-world-war, losing its glory afterwards until in the 80’s got revived with inspiration by legacies from great dancers like Whitey’s Lindy Hoppers, Frankie Manning, and Dean Collins.
