Swingin' Through History

From the turn of the century to modern times, Swingin' Through History takes students on a journey through American music and dance, focusing primarily on the 1920s to 1940 when swing music and dance were at the center of popular culture. Students will be clapping their hands and stomping their feet as they learn about the birth of jazz music and its lasting influences on all aspects of American culture. This program features energetic and athletic performers who specialize in re-creating authentic and historical swing and jazz dance styles such as the Lindy Hop, Charleston, Jitterbug, Balboa, Collegiate Shag and more.
