As a child, I recall the excitement of taking dance lessons. After one memorable recital, I basked in the glow of self-satisfaction, convinced I had delivered a stellar performance. Little did I know that a humbling revelation awaited me. Right after our routine, the spotlight shifted to the “teachers showcase,” and it was there that I realized my dancing prowess had room for improvement.
Today, I’d like to share with you a captivating video featuring one of my all-time favorite dance styles: boogie-woogie. This dynamic performance took place at the “A Taste of Boogie 2.0” festival in Padova (Padua), Italy.
Boogie-woogie, an exuberant and lively dance style, traces its roots back to the United States in the 1920s. It’s a genre said to have emerged within African-American communities, notably in the heart of the Mississippi Delta. Its creation was heavily influenced by the rhythms of blues, jazz, and ragtime music.
In this mesmerizing display of talent, dancers Agneiszka Cherubisnka, Grzegorz Cherubinski, Tanya Geogiievska, and Sondre Olsen Bye demonstrate precisely why they are esteemed instructors. Set to the timeless 1950s classic, “Deep Sea Ball” by Clyde McPhatter, these four dancers electrify the floor with their sensational swing moves. Prepare to be enthralled by their performance. You’re bound to fall in love with it. Be sure to watch the full video below and drop us a comment on Facebook to share your thoughts!
