this is a video of african americans swing dancing. swing dance was developed in the 1920"s and is usually done to swing music and contemporary jazz.the most popular forms of swing dancing are called the Lindy hop and the Charleston which originated in Harlem, New York. its very closely associated with African American and west African dance.the best place to go to hear jazz and swing dance was the Savoy. This reminds me of negro heritage becasue the dance they are doing and the kusic they are playing is all derived from their ancestors
