Flash dance

Flash dancing was a form of tap dance (tap was also called jazz dance at the time) that evolved in the 1920s–1930s, which combined dance with acrobatics.[1][2] Prominent flash dance crews of the time include the Nicholas Brothers, The Four Step Brothers and the Berry Brothers.[3] During the 1920s–1930s many films and TV shows were released featuring the style.[3]
