The "Swing Revival" refers to a musical and cultural movement that began in the late 1980s and gained popularity through the 1990s. It was characterized by a renewed interest in swing music, a genre that originated in the 1930s and 1940s, featuring big bands and lively rhythms. This revival brought back the energetic dance styles associated with swing, such as Lindy Hop and East Coast Swing. During this period, bands like Cherry Poppin' Daddies and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy emerged, blending traditional swing with modern influences. Swing dance events and festivals flourished, attracting enthusiasts of all ages. The revival not only celebrated the music but also fostered a sense of community and connection through dance.
