New Year Blues Class
The perfect way to start a new year.
Blues is danced either with a partner, solo or in a group in the form of jam circles and soul train lines. The simple basic steps leave a lot of space for improvisation and expression of the music, leading and following thus turns into a conversation between two dancers rather than being a unilateral command. Because of the various styles of music under the umbrella term Blues (Muddy Waters Chicago Blues, Rural/Country Blues, Jazz Blues, Gospel, Boogaloo, Latin, etc.) there is a lot of variety in rhythms, dynamics and most of all emotions, which invite us to express them as dancers.
If you’ve never seen it, it can look like so :
Our 4-week blues intensive class is back and we’re going to dig deeper into these beautiful dances. During 4 weeks, we are going to explore the shapes, rhythms and movements that make the Blues dances so unique. We will focus on moving our own body and having a conversation with our partner. This class is suitable for all levels. We will work in layers, adding complexity as we move forward and give everybody something to work on regardless of whether you’ve never danced a step before or you’re a seasoned dancer.
