		originally a street corner dance that combined many elements of traditional african dancing with elements of european waltzing, the lindy hop was one of the first forms of subtle integration in america.
		the breakaway was almost solely an african-american dance, as it was done to slow to medium blues and ragtime music.

	History
		In 1938 Donald Grant, president of the Dance Teachers' Business Association, said that swing music "is a degenerated form of jazz, whose devotees are the unfortunate victims of economic instability." However, in 1942 members of the New York Society of Teachers of Dancing were told that the "jitterbug," could no longer be ignored.
		But, to the current generation, weaned on dancing to a volume so pumped up that all conversation is shut out; and with partners kept at arms's length or farther, the social aspects of swing's upbeat, infectious rhythm and casual physical contact have proved particularly appealing.
		A great many Dance schools are reporting a surge in students learning the classic swing dance and it appears that Swing, the Lindy Hop born in Harlem 70 years ago, is here to stay.

		So, her second album, Breakaway, released late in 2004, was a pivotal moment for her, a chance to prove that she was not a one-hit wonder, a chance to prove that she could have a real, vibrant career.
		This time around, the dance-pop elements have been almost entirely stripped away, and the record instead is a rock-influenced, MOR pop affair, not entirely dissimilar to Ashlee Simpson's Autobiography, only a little bit smoother and not as heavy on guitars.
		Breakaway has different emotions to each song but each one is great in its own way.

		During a course of a song, the dance pad would move an inch or so (which is an improvement over the other dance pads) and I would imagine that the tougher the song, the more the dance pad would move.
		The dance pad only has an Xbox and Playstation controller output and to hook up the dance pad to a PC/Mac, you have to remove the Xbox breakaway cable and replace it with the USB breakaway cable.
		Overall, this dance pad is worth it if you want something more reliable and durable than their low-price dance pad and something cheaper than their high-price dance pad.

		At first, the dance was called LINDY or LINDY HOP.
