The beginning of 20th century was called Jazz Age for a good reason. Not only was this the beginning and developing of Jazz music, but also everyone loved to dance back then! Dances of that time were pretty simple, and the music is very joyful, which made it easy for anyone to have fun dancing! Ragtime & Dixieland was the popular music of that time. Everyone was crazy about those upbeat tunes that wouldn't let you sit still.
美国的二十世纪初期当之无愧的被我们称为“爵士时代”，爵士乐在这段时间崛起，人们也开始热衷于跳交际舞，这时候的舞步都比较简单，音乐十分欢快，所以任何人都可以很快就开始享受舞蹈的乐趣。1910-1920年代最最流行的音乐就是Ragtime 和 Dixieland音乐，作为最早期的爵士乐，这是一种专门为舞者演奏的音乐，听了会让人忍不住动起来！来听一个例子吧：
