Break dancing at the Savoy Ballroom II

8/12/2016

0 Comments

 
My last post touched upon the use of break dancing in my climactic 1931 dance contest at the Savoy Ballroom-- and that breakdancing has been around for as long as the end of the 19th century if not longer. I urge choreographers for my dancical to reach into the future for moves no one has seen before at the Savoy. Today I got a Tweet from Paulette Brockington ​​about an event in Detroit on October 28th called The Continuum: Back to the Future with Authentic Jazz. The three-day event will "explore the retentions of authentic jazz in hip-hop through black social dances of the 20th Century."

Yeah, it's like I been saying...

It starts with the showing of the documentary by Moncell Durden above on Friday night, dancing on Saturday night, followed by the workshop on Sunday.   You can learn more and buy tickets by clicking the link above.
