Speakeasy at Savoy
We at Savoy Swing Club are thrilled to introduce our brand-new schedule: Speakeasy at Savoy! Instead of weekly socials, we’ll now be hosting a monthly dance and workshop event with a live music social every second Friday, starting September 12th.
This month we’re collaborating with What the Blues and Blues Underground in a celebration of Blues! The night kicks off with a workshop taught by Robin Chow of What the Blues followed by LIVE MUSIC with Di & the Blue Hearts! You can even snag a free Blues Underground voucher at the class that gets you a discount into a Blues Underground event of your choice!
What does it mean to dance the Blues? Blues dancing emerged from African-American communities in the South, rooted in West African traditions and influenced by European styles. It’s an improvisational, expressive dance focused on partner connection and natural movement, evolving alongside blues music. Styles like the sensual Slow Drag, sharp Jukin’, and gliding Ballroomin’ reflect its diversity. Still danced today, it celebrates Black heritage, creativity, and community.
