Special Event: Swing & Soul Dance at Uptown Swing
Racky Thomas is primarily a Blues man, although he continues to add to his repertoire, which has grown to be quite eclectic!
He has a talent for blending his musicians on different occasions to come up with just the right mix for his audience.
Racky loves playing for dancers and is great at keeping a Swing groove to everything played.
There is plenty of inspiration for swinging out!
His delivery has always been “soulful” and for this dance he’ll be reaching into his bag of tricks to add some classic Soul selections.
Racky connects with his audience and his energy is infectious.
His fan base keeps growing as it is always a fun night when Racky is on board!
Guest DJ Javier Johnson will be playing some get-up-and-dance Soul music during the band breaks as well as teaching the lesson at the start of the dance.
Javi is the founding member of what is now the Hartford Underground, a Swing dance organization based in Hartford, as well as Hart & Soul, an annual dance weekend event held in September.
In addition, he teaches both locally and internationally, and besides Swing, specializes in Balboa and Soul.
He has a smooth, joyful, rhythmical style which is always a standout on the dance floor.
Grab a partner and participate in the Soul Competition!
No advanced registration and no added fee to enter.
This will be a fun competition open to anyone who would like to participate.
There will be prizes!
