Description
The Art Deco Society is proud to partner with Savage Rhythm’s Jonathan Lindsey to present Dancing in the Jazz Era: a multi-media presentation with live demonstration that will take you through the history of dance in the Jazz Age.
The Art Deco movement influenced several art forms in the Jazz Age, including dance. This presentation will dive into the history of dance from the 1910s-1940s when jazz music evolved with a wide variety of dancing styles that include vernacular jazz, swing, ballroom, Latin, blues, and more. Learn about how the influences of black culture, socioeconomics, and the art of movement made dancing in the Jazz Age so unique.
We are looking forward to bringing to you this presentation that covers more than just the swing dancing you may be familiar with, but a discussion about the mix of dances that created one of the most exciting and vibrant eras of movement.
This presentation will include live demonstrations with professional dancers so you can experience the feelings and movements of each style of dance and see how they developed with each other and with the music of the time period.
Open Seating.
