About this Event

**UPDATE: - Location Tolhuislaan 10, 9000 Gent, België ** Join us for a panel conversation on "Historical and contemporary cultural perspectives on Lindy Hop, Blues and other Jazz dances". Explore the beautiful Black American dances we all love so much through its history and culture. Nothing beats the opportunity to listen to someone from the Culture itself: we are blessed to hear stories, ideas and concepts from within Black African American music and dance culture. We are inviting three of our inspirers on stage to share their perspectives: Chisomo Selemani, Jamica Zion and Charlley Ward. This is a unique opportunity for the Ghent and Belgian scene, beyond the scope of the festival! This panel conversation is part of the pre festival activities of Big City Blues, a Blues festival organized by Upside Down. Even if you are not joining the festival (we are sold out), you can attend this panel conversation. Not to miss! Afterwards, we go together to Missy Sippy Blues & Roots bar for live music.
