THE CALLOWAY BOOGIE STROLL
Count: 48
Wall: 4
Level: intermediate/advanced
Choreographer: Paolo Pasta Lanna
Music: The Calloway Boogie
The patterns for this line dance were inspired by Cab Calloway. The choreography is designed to match the song “Calloway Boogie” the blues phrased tune by Cab Calloway. It combines classic tap and jazz steps in a unique and playful arrngement and is a throw back to the 1930s. This 6 bar stroll turns ¼ to the right at the start of the “cab’s walk” pattern. Born on Christmas Day in 1907, Cab Calloway was an American singer, dancer, bandleader and actor. He was associated with the Cotton Club in Harlem, where he was a regular performer and became a popular vocalist of the swing era. His niche of mixing jazz and vaudeville won him acclaim during a career that spanned over 65 years.
