Workshop: Ballroomin’ Blues: The Savoy Walk

With instructors Lila Faria and Robin Chow.

The Savoy Walk is a classic Blues idiomatic dance style that emerged at the Savoy Ballroom in Harlem in the 1920s and 30s, where dancers moved “in the round” along a shared line of dance. In this workshop, we’ll explore the Savoy Walk as both a historical form and a living social dance, focusing on its pulse, common connection points, and how dancers negotiate space, speed, and floorcraft together. You’ll learn how to adapt the Savoy Walk to different tempos and partners while traveling the floor with clarity, groove, and respect for the history of the dance.
