With the wider acceptance of swing music around 1935, larger mainstream bands began to embrace this style of music.Up until the swing era, Jazz had been taken in high regard by the most serious musicians around the world, including classical composers like Stravinsky; swing on the contrary, with its "dance craze", ended being regarded as a degeneration towards light entertainment, more of an industry to sell records to the masses than a form of art. Many musicians after failing at serious music switched to swing.
Swing jazz began to be embraced by the public around 1935. Prior to that, it had had limited acceptance, mostly among black/african-american audiences.
Radio remotes increased interest in the music, and it grew in popularity throughout the States.
With the discovery of the Lindy Hop(named by Lindbergh's flight) and the Jitterbug(a bouncy six beat variant was named the "Jitterbug" )the communities began dancing to the contemporary Jazz and Swing music as it was evolving at the time, with Benny Goodman leading the action. Dancers soon incorporated tap and jazz steps into their dancing.
It is mostly used to introduce a sequence of a style strongly centered upon the human body with
of four main aspects: centering, balancing, frontality and depth.
The dancers are active and goal oriented.
