FLASHBACK to HARLEM on May 11th 1937: The World Famous Savoy Ballroom is PACKED – thousands are turned away! This is a Historic Night because “The King of Swing” Benny Goodman has traveled uptown to battle his band with HARLEM’s King of Swing Chick Webb’s band and thousands are present to witness what was termed at the time as…
"The Music Battle of the Century"
FAST FORWARD to HARLEM on May 11th 2007: 70 years later that Battle still lives on in the hearts and minds of Jazz Enthusiasts all over the world: Including Musicians, Historians – and of course Dancers! In fact a few of those who were there to witness it are still around to speak of it..... And on this night many will be back to recreate the Memories, Music and Dance that were embellished in ‘37 and then take it to a new and higher level!
We, The Harlem Swing Dance Society, are warmly welcoming you as Educators, Friends and Neighbors to support this long over due Harlem Anniversary Event! “Harlem’s Savoy 70th Anniversary Band Battle Dance” promises to be an evening you’ll never forget! Be sure to let others know of this Historic Night of Memories and Dance: There will be Classic Film clips, Classy Music of that era, Classy People, Classy Soul Food and THE SAVOY BAKERY (savoy bakery - welcome)!
And – of course – Classy Memorable Dancing to top it off!
