Swing dancing is a group of dances originating in Harlem, New York with Afro-American Roots. The feeling of the dance is “swinging” – hence the name. The new dance developed as a swinging style of jazz music from the 1920s to the late 1940s. One of the swing dance variations Charleston was popular in the 20s and 30s making appearance in many Hollywood movies.
