There is much more to Blues Dance than just dancing to Blues music.

You'll learn great connection, new syncopation, groovier movements, how to move yourself with and without a partner, plus how to fuse Blues into your any style of dance ... basically become a better dancer!

For the Beginner to Intermediate Blueser, this class introduces both vintage and contemporary forms of the Blues basic and patterns. You'll also learn techniques to vary these basic moves to go along with the music to bring out the emotions into your dance. Plus you can now add dynamic range to your dance styles to keep your dancing full of interesting variations.
