Anthony Chen & Irina Amzashvili ft. Red Rock Hot Club

Anthony Chen and Irina Amzashvili have been dancing together since 2015, but started swing dancing when they were in their teens. Specializing in Lindy Hop, Charleston, Balboa, and other genres of swing, they both hold champion titles at numerous events in the nation and abroad, including the International Lindy Hop Championships. When not at home in Salt Lake City avoiding a pandemic, they are often sought after for teaching swing dance workshops around the world, and have taught in Asia, Europe, Central America, and Australia. Anthony also founded the non-profit Salt City Swing, which focuses on dance instruction, community outreach, and education on the dance and its history.

Band
The Red Rock Hot Club has been supplying the Intermountain West with Django Reinhardt style Jazz since 1999. Led by the hard-swinging guitar of Pat Terry, the group specializes in “Gypsy Jazz” a European take of an American Art form. Guitar genius, Django, and violinist Stephane Grappelli, formed the original Hot Club of France in 1937, and subsequently created an entirely new Jazz genre by incorporating swing rhythms and mimicking the sounds of Louis Armstrong’s horn on their instruments.
