Instructions
The  Jazz  Age    the  period  of  the  1920s,  the  years  between  the  end  of  the  First  World  War  and  the  beginning  of  the  Great  Depression  in  America,  where  the  African  Americans  brought  their  culture  and  new  jazz  music  and  dance.  Styles  of  music    Dixieland  and  Blues  and  Charleston  styles  became  immensely  popular.  Other  dances  such  as  Cake  Walk,  the  Turkey  Trot,  the  Black  bottom  and  Bunny  Hug  gained    popularity.  Louis  Daniel  Armstrong  displayed  his  amazing  talents  as  a  trumpeter,  comet  player,  and  singer  during  the  jazz  age.  Scott  Fitzgerald  was  perhaps  the  first  author  who  coined  the  name  jazz  age  referring  to  the  wealthy  White  flappers,  whose  antics  were  immortalised  in  the  cartoons  of  John  Jr.  In  the  1920s,  a  new  woman  was  born.  She  was  the  heroine  of  the  jazz  age.  The  flapper  was  a  new  rebel  defying  old    of  acceptable  feminine  behaviour  and  no  longer  confined  to  home  and  tradition.  She  smoked  in  the  public,  drank,  exposed  her  limbs  and  danced  the  nights  away.  In  the  Jazz  Age,  the  female  bust  was  suppressed,  the  waist  disappeared,  the  shoulders  became  broader  and  narrow  boyish  hips  were  preferred.  Health  and  beauty  clubs  emerged  which  helped  women    their  silhouettes  while  getting  fitter  and  healthier.
