==Swing Dancing==
In 1917, Jazz pianist [[Spencer Williams]] wrote a song called "Shim-Me-Sha-Wabble" which inspired a Jazz Dance called the [[shimmy]]. The shimmy is done by holding the body still "except for the shoulders, which are quickly alternated back and forth". The dances that emerged during this period were the Charleston and the [[Lindy hop]].The Charleston is "characterized by its toes-in, heels-out twisting steps".<ref name="Britannica">{{cite web |title=Charleston {{!}} dance |url=https://www.britannica.com/art/Charleston-dance |website=Encyclopedia Britannica |access-date=8 January 2019 |archive-date=26 June 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180626063719/https://www.britannica.com/art/Charleston-dance |url-status=live }}</ref> It can be done as a solo or with any number of people.

The Lindy hop was a wild and spontaneous partner dance that was extremely rhythmically conscious. When the Great Depression began in October 1929, many people turned to dance. Because of this, the Aubrielle and the Lindy hop are now considered to be under the umbrella term "swing dance stylized, continuously flowing movements that developed the technique and style for the combinations that followed".<ref name="Mahoney">{{cite book |last1=Mahoney |first1=Billie |title=The International Encyclopedia of Dance |date=1998 |publisher=Oxford University Press |chapter=Jazz Dance}}</ref> Cole's style has been called hip, hard, and cool".<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.danceheritage.org/treasures/cole_essay_levine.pdf |title=Jack Cole |last=Levine |first=Debra |website=Dance Heritage Coalition |access-date=26 June 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180219104325/http://www.danceheritage.org/treasures/cole_essay_levine.pdf |archive-date=19 February 2018 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Fosse combined "vaudeville, striptease, magic shows, nightclubs, film and Broadway musicals".<ref name="Clayton">{{Cite web |url=http://www.howjazzworks.com/index.php/what-is-jazz |title=How Jazz Works |last=Clayton |first=Audrey |website=www.howjazzworks.com |access-date=2018-06-26 |archive-date=26 June 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180626030810/http://www.howjazzworks.com/index.php/what-is-jazz |url-status=live }}</ref>
