Jazz Era:
The 1920’s and 30’s was known as the Jazz era. In this time the more popular the music became the more people criticized it referring to it as the devil’s music. Many of the music educators feared that it would ruin the young people’s interest in classical music. Jazz brought a new found freedom of dance and social interactions that normally in that time did not occur. White and black people socialized in the same place for the first time. Some of the jazz greats of that time were King Oliver, Luis Armstrong, Kid Ory, and Duke Ellington.

Flappers:
The 1920’s also brought a new kind of woman, commonly referred to as Flappers. These women wore short skirts, their hair bobbed, and they smoked and drank as well. The popular dances the flappers danced to was the Charleston, Fox Trot, Tango, and the Black Bottom to name a few. Their attitudes were way different than the rest, they were carefree and risky. Some famous flappers included Louise Brooks, Joan Crawford, Marilyn Miller, and Josephine Baker.
