Sunday Night Party has reached a whole new level during the 2015 Jazz Roots Festival in Paris.
Several dance teachers engaged in a dance battle, and it’s a delight to watch. Who would have thought that a Lindy Hop would still be so popular in the 21st century?
Many years have passed, but plenty of people still do it—the love for good music and fun times spiced up with a contagious rhythm, and beautiful dance moves.
Paris Jazz Roots Dance Festival is an annual event which takes place in April.
The event is all about vintage dance styles where you can workshop and party with the best international dance teachers.
This teachers’ battle outro is one of the most amazing things we’ve seen in a while.
It’s the kind of show where if you blink, you might miss it. Even so, your eyes will be glued to the phenomenal dance moves.
It’s not only about dancing—but it’s also about the mutual respect between dancers.
All of them are excellent at what they do.
As a result, the show goes on smoothly, and we love the fact that none of these dancers feel the need to show off. You won’t see too many flashy moves—just a healthy competition and people having fun. They carefully give space to each other, collaborate and complement one another.
They are not bragging, but rather enjoying themselves and learning from the way their fellow dancers move.
It’s a bunch of people who feel jazz and move so light on their feet will surely make your day.
It’s a video that will make you want to get up and join in with the dancers onscreen.
The dancers are Ksenia Parkhatskaya, Fatima Teffahi, Juan Villafane and Max Pitrusella, among others.
In all, they look like they’re having the time of their lives. Ksenia is the girl in the striped shirt, while Fatima is the one who dances after her and then the guys appear on stage. The whole thing has a great flirtatious energy.
It’s all done for the sake of having a good time, but it’s still classy and beautiful.
The male dancers all show a lot of respect for their female colleagues while still competing amongst each other. They dance in a little circle because so many people in the audience are surrounding them. As they dance, the crowd cheers them on and the dim lights add up to a romantic and vintage feeling.
You might know a few dance moves or you might be a stranger to dancing, but the video will make you want to be part of a show like this one and simply jump around and scream if nothing else.
In case you want to move to the same tune, then you should look up “Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho.”
You’ll feel the ’20s vibe that these performers bring.
So much is going on, and it’s easy to get lost in the rhythm. Just like the audience, you simply surrender to the energetic atmosphere. In the end, the winner is decided with the help of the “applause-meter.”
Ksenia and Danii took the well-deserved victory, but another huge round of applause was given to all teachers at the Festival.
We would love to see more of these people—jazz is definitely making a comeback!
