Beginning Blues (Level 1)

Blues Level 1, 6-7 p.m.  Blues dance incorporates the essence of partner dance: connection, weight shifts, pulses, changing tempos, body isolations and lots of creativity.  There’s no “basic footwork” to learn.  Focus on interpreting the music through your body and that of your partner.  Blues can be slow and sensual or fast and playful—and the fundamentals you learn will apply to most types of social dance.   Instructors:  Andie Gill and Dane Frank.
