During the development of the musical genre rock and roll, dances to go with the music were also created. From Swing, which came into being around 1920 Lindy Hop emerged, the first partner dance ever to feature acrobatic elements
A 1959 dance book describes “Rock ‘n’ Roll” as “performed without undue tension, the body and legs being flexible, so that there may be a physical rhythmic expression of co-ordination with the beats of music.” “…a dance which leaves much scope for personal expression and interpretation in style, movement, rhythm, and even in the manner in which the figures are constructed.” The basic rhythm is Quick, Quick, Slow, Slow.
In the mid-1950s American rockabilly and rock and roll music was taken up by local rock musicians and it soon caught on with Australian teens, through films, records and from 1956, television. Then began the rock n roll dance craze in Australia.
