Savoy Ballroom 是在Swing Era時期(1933-1947) 最有名的Lindy Hop舞廳之一;如果沒有這個舞廳的話,現在根本沒有Swing可以跳惹! #還不快跪下!

The Home of Happy Feet

Savoy Ballroom 現址上的紀念碑

Savoy Ballroom 的另一個稱號就是「The Home of Happy Feet」。在這裡你可以看到非常多知名的舞者,Frankie Manning 與 Norma Miller等;當然還有爵士史上知名的大樂團都在這邊演出過,如 Duke Ellington, Chick Webb 還有 Count Basie等。

我從沒看過一個 Lindy Hopper 是沒有在微笑的。這就是一個開心的舞蹈。跳舞的時候,我就是感覺超爽! - Frankie Manning

Where you see BLACK, WHITE, and MORE COLORS

Savoy Ballroom 標誌著另一個劃世代的精神 -- 「種族平權」!

在 Swing Era 時期,種族隔離制度仍在美國盛行,歧視性的政策依舊存在;但是在這個舞廳裡面,你卻可以同時看到「黑人」與「白人」共處一室,甚至一起跳舞,這是非常難得一見的奇景!因此 Lindy Hop / Swing Dance 不僅承載著非裔美國人的文化與歷史脈絡,同時也標示的種族平權的意涵。
