IN THIS VIDEO our partner Nicole Pradas of Wondergo (http://www.wondergo.org) introduces us to some amazingly great basic steps of Swing Dancing.

Starting in the 1930’s American big Jazz bands played a kind of music called Swing which was bounding, rhythmic and was meant to inspire people to dance. Even during the darkest days of World War II--maybe because the days were so dark--American youth flocked to nightclubs and danced with wild abandon. In the process they invented steps like the Lindy Hop, which developed as a big band-era interpretation of the Charleston, which itself was a signature dance of the ‘20s. In class we try to Charleston, the Charleston's “Bees Knees,” the Charleston with a kick, and, when we really want a grand time, the Shorty George.

What is All Around This World?
All Around This World is a joyfully musical Cultural Inclusion program for children 0-9 years old that encourages kids and their families to explore the world by enjoying global music, rhythms, and movement. Jay Sand, guitarist and children’s music teacher, world traveler, dad of three girls, developed All Around This World with his daughters as a way to introduce them to the countries he’s already visited and the many more he plans to visit with them.
