Swingin' Steps in Historical Settings - DanceWAVE Video 2016

In a video titled - DanceWAVE 2016: Swing Through the Decades, Dalton seventh and eighth-grade students perform social dances of the 1920's-1950's in historic settings throughout New York City. MORE...
Locations include the Morris-Jumel Mansion (Harlem Renaissance), 1930's subway cars, the flight deck of the USS Intrepid, the Naumburg Bandshell, and the Swing46 dance club. Students explore the unique characteristics of each dance through the complex musical and societal events from which they evolved, reinventing each style to serve their personal expression. Dance faculty, Joanna Brotman and Blake Pearson, swing dance teachers Nathan Bugh and Gaby Cook, and filmmaker Greg Keras produced the film.
