The Big Apple is a famous line dance, choreographed by Frankie Manning, and done by Lindy Hoppers all over the world, but where did it come from? Here we look into the history of the influences, geography, people, and more. Also, we go into some crazy stuff I found out about Square Dancing.

Thank you so much for pointing out and appreciating each dancer by name! 🤩

@seletarichmond5563 5 месяцев назад

So that’s why square dancing was a PE elective in high school. I’m from the south and that was one of the classes I took.

Weird, right?

Hi Laura Glaess, thank you so much for this video! I'm a Lindy Hop dancer living in Columbia, and have danced at the Big Apple several times, and once with you. You mentioned at about 11:35 that there were "White" dancer's in Whitey's Lindy Hoppers. The names you cited are Ruthie Reingold and Harry Rosenberg. I agree with your point over all, but I want your followers now to understand that back in the 1930s in America the general population of White Americans did not consider immigrants from Eastern Europe to be fellow Whites, and certainly didn't not consider Jewish people to be White. They may not have actively referred to Jewish people as "Colored", but they still wouldn't have considered them to be White. To this day many native born, pale skinned Jewish Americans don't consider themselves "White" for a variety of reasons, and many of those reasons have to do with their personal experiences and treatment from White Americans. The whole reason why there is a tradition in America of Jewish people having Jewish vacation and resort communities is that they weren't allowed to vacation in the majority of White vacation communities. Such exclusion was often officially called "restriction" rather than exclusion, segregation, or racism, and at some locations and establishments "restriction" continued on into the first decade of the 21st century. I find it stupid and ironic that Ruthie Reingold and Harry Rosenberg wouldn't have been allowed to be on video with their fellow dancers because they would have appeared as Whites dancing with Blacks on video, and at the same time they wouldn't have been allowed to enter many of the same establishments that would have barred their Black dancer friends.

Hey, yes, excellent point! It’s amazing how many “white” people today were not white back in the 40s and earlier.   I’m not really sure the best way to address it. In an interview with Ruthie Reingold, she said that during dance competitions people would stare and them and point and say “they’re white!!” Now, perhaps this is because their jewish ancestry wasn’t evident (one of the many inconsistencies with racism is that it’s not always evident who we should be racist against).

Here's a talk about it that I found very interesting: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IM4q_nCzddI.html

Unbelievable! I appreciate the well articulated historical perspective you present. And your rings.

@LauraGlaess 2 года назад

Thanks, Ann Marie! Yeah, I found those rings at a flea market somewhere. They are way too big, but cool enough to deal with :P

This was so interesting! Loved the in-depth dive on the history of the Big Apple. Still one of my favourite moments at parties, to be honest :) can’t wait for your tutorial, to get the creative juices flowing :)

Thank you! Tutorial of part 2 is coming out tonight at midnight!

@heidir6715 2 года назад

Not surprisingly, this is so articulately, movingly shared. I have visited the Big Apple site in Columbia and didn't know that it had been moved. Can you tell us where the building stood originally and who moved it?

@LauraGlaess 2 года назад

It is currently at 1000 Hampton St, Columbia, SC 29201 but was originally at 1318 Park Street to the corner of Hampton and Park streets.
