Savoy Jazz Jam

Always held on the 1st weekend each November, this cosy weekend explores the history of African American Jazz dance from African dance, plantation dances to today’s Solo Jazz, with an array of incredible, inspirational and innovative concepts to expand and improve your vocabulary of jazz movement and help your partnered dance. There will be two days of workshops on Saturday and Sunday, three evenings of social dancing on Friday & Saturday with live music, plus an early Farewell Party on Sunday to practice your new skills and incorporate it into your Lindy Hop. There’ll also be a solo jazz competition. Numbers are limited to allow space and keep the event small enough to get to know to the teachers and everyone else. Not everyone had the chance to learn from Frankie Manning, Norma Miller or Al Minns, so this is a great opportunity for every swing dancer to explore history of the dance we love with the last of the Savoy Ballroom dancers and Harvest Moon Ball Champions. This is history… Book NOW!!
