Vaudeville Shows (1 gen 1880 anni – 31 dic 1935 anni)

Descrizione:

Vaudeville shows developed and introduced the buck and wing. It was influenced by the Irish Jig and English Clog, but its hallmark was the swinging, syncopated rhythm of jazz. The use of syncopation, accenting the offbeat, is a trademark of jazz music. At the close of the minstrel period, early jazz dances that incorporated the syncopated rhythms of American ragtime bands were appearing in ballrooms throughout the country.
