"Swing is a dance that evolved from jazz between the 1920s and 1940s. Even today the style still has its followers, mainly in Harlem, the neighborhood of New York. This documentary brings an interesting narrative structure that explores the reality of these practitioners and brings to the screen the beauty of the style. One of the focuses of the feature is how the dance helped people overcome difficulties in their lives, such as unemployment or post-traumatic disorder."
