Soul & Swing Dancing Sunday
July 14 @ 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm

Get ready for an awesome night of R&B, Soul, and Funk! The intro dance class (7:00-7:45pm) will be taught by Scott Angelius and Kelly Arsenault to R&B music. In this class you’ll learn a different rhythm (rock-and-gos) and how you can mix them into your dancing. The cover is $10 to immerse yourself fully or join after the lesson for just $5. Cash is preferred, but Venmo and PayPal are also accepted.
Notes:
- No dance experience needed!
- No dance partner required
- Any dance style goes: Swing, Caroline shag, blues, WCS, salsa, cha-cha, bachata, etc.
- We honor and respect Black American artforms. We pay tribute to the roots of the music we play and the dances we love, the vast majority of which are born from Black American artistry, expressing resistance against hardships.
- 10% of The Sunday Get Down proceeds go to The Bottom, a nonprofit community center and Black-affirming bookshop. They strive to build community, celebrate culture, and engage the creativity of Black people in Knoxville.
- We expect all attendees to contribute to a safe, harassment-free environment, embracing diversity in all its forms. Let’s dance, learn, and celebrate together!
