Thursday,  September 27, 8 p.m. at Philly Joe's Jazz Club

Swinging at Philly Joe’s brings together swing dancers, musicians and a swing loving audience! This evening is intended for everyone whose vinyl rack contains rarities or who has been looking for a new kind of excitement to their weekend, because Philly Joe’s hall will become a hot dance floor! We’ve also put some thought into those enjoying themselves from a distance, leaving comfortable sofas and booths in the hall where you can experience the lively evening.

Jaan Krivel Swing Project invites you to dance, performing music from the golden age of swing in a true and timeless manner. The repertoire includes swing standards and favorite songs that are familiar to everyone and allow you to dance along while on the dance floor.

Line-up:

Rain Rämmal - piano

The evening will continue with DJs from the Tallinn Swing Dance Society.  

Before the live performance a dance lesson will be given in the most popular swing dance style, Lindy Hop, by Tallinn Swing Dance Society instructors.

Instructors: Kelli Suvi and Johannes Gustav Varkki

Lindy Hop is a swing dance that originated in the heyday of the swing era, in the Harlem district of New York in the 1930s. Lindy Hop is a mixture of several dance styles of that era, such as jazz, tap and Charleston. The dance style, which quickly gained popularity, conquered all of America and soon spread all over the world. The new dance style got its name from the first non-stop flight from New York to Paris, which was performed by Charles Lindbergh, nicknamed Lucky Lindy.
