Harlem Hot Shots is a professional dance company as well as a project in Stockholm Sweden, focusing on the famous swing dances from the first half of the 20th century. Their main focus lies in traditional african-american dance styles such as Tap dancing, the Charleston, Vernacular Jazz and the Lindy Hop. Their shows highlight the famous dances as well as remembers dancers and groups popular during the golden era of swing. A typical show consists of their own choreography but now and then also carefully recreated choreographies as tributes to the hot shots from Harlem during the era of swing.
