We celebrate the Jazz Dance movement in the UK. Back in late 1980’s and early 1990’s young clubbers frequented clubs like Dingwalls, The Fez, and The Wag to hear DJs like Gilles, Patrick Forge and Colin Curtis and dance to jazz and latin inspired rhythms and sounds of Art Blakey, Sun Ra, Willis Jackson, Airto Moreira, and more. Dancers would dress in a retro 1940s bebop style and express themselves on the dance floor with phonetic moves, drops and jumps.
