Jazz- och swingkulturen – ett uttryck för frihet

Alla swingdanser har djupa rötter i de unika afroamerikanska konstformerna, som i sin tur uppstått i en kultur präglad av förtryck. Savoy Ballroom i Harlem, New York, var en unik och för den tiden kontroversiell plats där vita och svarta fick lov att mötas på dansgolvet. Danserna och musiken är präglad av den rasism som svarta amerikaner mötte och den segregering som fanns i samhället. Jazz och swing var en trotsig reaktion på förtrycket och de svårigheter som människor stod inför, ett glatt motstånd och samtidigt ett uttryck för frihet.
