SAVION GLOVER - Stockholm International Tap Dance Festival 2025

STF 2025 Special Guest Artist - SAVION GLOVER
With the greatest pleasure, we are thrilled and honored to welcome living legend Savion Glover to Stockholm!
For the first time in Sweden, Mr Glover will share his invaluable knowledge from a life of dance and music, both in educational sessions and on stage, presenting his latest production as the 2025 festival opening show.

Savion Glover is a virtuoso artist, choreographer, director, and actor who revitalized and re-rhythmatized The Dance for the millennium generation.
Savion did his Broadway debut at 10 years old, and is credited as being the first young dancer of his generation to reawaken the art form and bring the history of The Dance in America up to date.
He brought not only the noise and funk of The Dance to audiences of thousands, but he ushered in a whole new generation of black urban dancers embracing the authentic dance and music traditions.
Mr Glover's artistry is strongly rooted in tradition while still having an own unique style of today and a challenging creativity looking into the future.
Savion has performed at the White House, shared the stage with other great artists of our time like Stevie Wonder and Sonny Rollins, recorded a song with Prince, and played with his own band at the prestigious Newport Jazz Festival.
Another triumph on the endless list of Mr Glover's noteworthy accomplishments is his success with the Broadway production "Bring in ‘da Noise, Bring in ‘da Funk", which garnered four Tony Awards, including Best Choreography.
