The document provides information about the history of jazz dance. It originated from African dances performed by slaves in the late 1800s and was first officially performed by Joe Frisco in 1910. During the late 1920s, the Lindy Hop and Jitterbug styles emerged at the Savoy Ballroom in Harlem and incorporated intricate solo footwork between partners. Jazz dance became popular during the swing era of the 1930s-1940s and continued to evolve with new styles developing in subsequent decades.
