| Hop, Skip And Learn Dancing
Want to learn New York’s very own style of swing dance? If the answer is yes then Lindy Hop dance is exactly where to start with. Swing dance is a combination of dances that are performed on the beats of swing jazz music. Finding classes and lessons in Lindy Hop Dance NYC has dance schools and studios that have flexible timings and reasonable fees. Lindy Hop dance originated in Harlem, New York City during the 1920s and continued to gain popularity till the 1940s. This dance form was created from two dance styles known as the Charleston and Tap dance. This dance stresses a lot on creativeness and inventiveness. The styles of music vary from blues or jazz beats and an unconventional style of music like hip hop. This dance has movements that are wild and impulsive or sophisticated and cool. This dance broke all the barriers between races during that period when segregation was still the custom. The Savoy Ballroom was the place, which bought this dance form to the dance floor and made people aware of this style of swing dance. It was one of the few sites where blacks and whites could exchange dance steps and learn some new moves. It was also the location where Lindy Hop dance bloomed immensely. The head bouncer of the Savoy, Herbert White created a dance troupe called as Whitey’s Lindy Hoppers. He chose the best dancers of Lindy Hop dance who performed at the ballroom. This dance group went on to perform in many flicks such as A Day at The Races and Hellzapoppin. |
