black bottom (dance)

Black Bottom is also the name of a popular dance that was popularized in the 1920s in New York City during the Flapper era. The Black Bottom dance originated in New Orleans. In 1924, the stage play Dinah introduced the Black Bottom dance to the New York public. In 1926 and 1927, the George White Scandals featured it at the Apollo Theater in Harlem. Jazz pianist Jelly Roll Morton wrote the song Black Bottom Stomp (referring to the Detroit neighborhood of Black Bottom), and soon the Black Bottom dance swept the country, replacing the Charleston as the most popular social dance.
