Photo Coverage: Savion Glover Premieres S.G Chorus and Reaches a Worldwide Audience Through Retter Entertainment

Although Covid-19 has impacted the arts in myriad negative ways, no one can deny the unexpected innovative opportunities for learning it has also created. Through Zoom, dancers can now train with teachers they only ever dreamed of working with previously!

Retter Entertainment has been making these dreams become reality with its Friday Broadway Intensive Series. Each Friday, Thommie Retter has been hosting a cavalcade of talent from several Broadway shows. The guest artist teaches choreography from the show, and then further shares their knowledge with the sessions' students in a talkback.

While this entire series has been wildly successful thus far, no one was prepared for the amazing workshop on Friday, September 4th! Savion Glover taught his first Zoom class and premiered his newest work, entitled: the S.G. Chorus.

Over 300 people participated in this gem of an event from all over the world. Savion taught an energizing class that included not only his awesome tap dance stylings, but also provided inspirational lessons that guaranteed education, enlightenment and fun for all in attendance!

With one of his young protégés, Ahadu Chase, aka, "the future", accompanying him on percussion, Savion shared an inclusive class for dancers and non-dancers alike - encouraging everyone to listen and explore new ways to hear rhythms.

The attendees were also treated to an up close and personal side of Savion, as he demonstrated his love and passion for dance. No doubt about it, Savion's first Zoom class was a triumph for all involved!

Sign up for Savion's next world-wide Zoom event on October 9, 6:30-8pm EST along with other exciting online classes and opportunities at www.retterentertainment.com!
