SAVOY Ballroom in SL |
Our project to recreate the experience of being at the Harlem Savoy Ballroom during the Swing Era - in the virtual world of Second Life.
|
Savoy was born as CP Swing Ballroom at Swing City, one of four environments of a Linden Endowment for the Arts grant project showcasing Dance 101 classroom technology. Our LEA Team designers modeled the grand ballrooms of the swing era, particularly the Savoy. Since our move to Creations Park in Winter, 2016, we have continued to move closer to the Savoy look and feel, in our our building, furniture, decor, and of course, dances and music.
On December 1, 2018, we took a big step and renamed CP Swing to SAVOY Ballroom. Now we feel like our focus on the Savoy has reached maturity with the name change, although we will forever continue to improve the authenticity of the Savoy experience here.
