Blues Drop-In
Body & Soul
Day & Time: Monday, 18:30 – 19:30
Dates: 01.05.2023 – 15.05.2023
Blues dance is a family of Black American vernacular dances danced to blues music; dances within this family are linked by shared aesthetics and techniques rooted in Black American traditions and historical context.
Let us guide you through favourite moves and concepts, so that you can let loose and enjoy dancing to awesome Blues music. Drop-In topics can include: technical elements of groove and posture, classic vernacular steps, improvisation and connection in both solo and partnered dance.
This course is open level, you don't need any prior experience with Blues. But, if you haven't done any Black American social dances before (e.g. Lindy Hop), it could be a pretty big challenge 😉
This course is intended for all levels of experience. It doesn’t require any prior Solo Jazz or Blues experience. If you’ve never done any Black American dances, it might be a bit challenging, but feel free to give it a try! If you have lots of Blues dance experience, don’t worry we will still find a challenge for you to dig into 🙂
