Beginner’s Guide To Jazz Dance! 📕

Well, sort of…

Here is LYF boss Harry’s take on some of his favourite tunes to play in the jazz dance - from Latin, to straight up jazz, to broken beat and much more…

We’re looking forward to Saturday night in 2 days time at !! 😮

🎶 1. The Janet Lawson Quintet - So High

“Every time I read up on the history of jazz dance...most DJs mention this tune as a favourite. Classic structure of a jazz dance tune - jazzy backdrop, with a jazz vocal. Quintessential!”

🎶 2. Light Of The World - Time (Remix)

“I always drop this tune every year, and it gets a lovely reaction. One of those tunes that falls just within the jazz funk bracket, and you can get away with playing. Britfunk

Naturally, the jazz dance scene of today does not make a mark during its peak of the 1980s…

We always do our bit to keep jazz dance alive with our annual party (our 3rd!!!) in association with and 🏠

Of course, the beauty of jazz dance is you can get stuck in and let loose, or appreciate the music in your own way!

And what a moment to welcome the guy who largely kicked it all off - 🙏

The sun is shining, the weekend is here and we’re so ready for a boogie tomorrow! 🌞

To get us in the mood we have three more song picks from one of our fabulous guest DJs, 🪩

Originally from Scotland, now based in Sheffield, Linga Sound is a DJ and selector focused on deep funk, global disco, warm sounds and percussive grooves from around the world. They are a resident and producer at Kitchen Radio Sheffield, hosting the monthly show Sound Service Station which showcases the best in nu jazz sounds, and have DJed at parties across the city, including Apricot Ballroom, Love to Dance, Footprints Jazz Club and Funky Drummer 🎛️💘

They have chosen three lovely tracks for us:

🎧 Becoming a Bird - Hee Sisters (한 마리 새가 되어 by 희자매)

“Irresistibly funky bassline; a perfect warm up or late night get down.”

🎧Battle Ready - Black Market Brass ft. Obi Original

“This came out of Minnesota last year and manages to sound extremely fresh and simultaneously like it must have been an Afrobeat staple in the 1970s.”

🎧Mlonje: Voices Joined - Nubiyan Twist ft. Zawose Queens

“The recent Nubiyan Twist album is so good, perfect for the dancefloor. This track with Tanzanian duo Zawose Queens is my current fave for getting people moving.”

🎟️ A few General Admission tickets remain for tomorrow - get em before they go!

Just 3 nights to go until we return to The Light Studio in York! Introducing one of our lovely guest DJs - 🌷

Formed by a workshop, Leeds born and Manchester based Karcie brings broken beats and high energy sounds with vocals you can’t help but groove to! 🪩

Karcie has picked three of her favourite tunes for us ahead of Saturday night:

🎧Always On My Mind - The Pet Shop Boys

“Picked this up on vinyl the other week for a STEAL at 99p and love a little singable one for the dance floor with punchy beats we all know and love”

🎧Scrap The Book - Crazy P

“Discoey and an electronic fusion of Crazy P’s works make them perfect for the mix of steady rhythmic dance and an artist I I’ve revisited time and time again”

🎧Heavy On The Bacon - Fouk

“Steady with a gorgeous collection of funky disco jazzy structure, I love this tune!”

A handful of general admission tickets remain for Saturday night - link in bio! 🎟️
