ELS CLANDESTINS D'ES BALUARD

In the decades of 1920 and 1930, the African-American community, particularly in the largest metropolitan areas, started dancing a form of music that was a synthesis of contemporary music. This included the Jazz (rhythmic and expressive mix of African-American and Irish musical forms), Ragtime (which emphasized a spirited, syncopated melodic line), and Charleston. The dance that would evolve from this process of synthesis was later known as the "Lindy Hop".

Clandestines (in the world of swing and lindy hop) are outdoors meetings of swing dancers, usually daylight, aimed to enjoy music and dance and to encourage the social and ludic dimension of this dance. Associació Mallorca Swing and Es Baluard Museu d’Art Modern i Contemporani de Palma started this activity in 2014 and agree on relaunch this idea during 2015.
