Dance @Home: Courses

We're very excited to bring you our series of courses focusing on some of our favourite styles of blues. Blues is a family of African American music and dance styles. We believe that best way to connect with and express the music is to take a deep dive into the history, culture and sounds of each style. Each class is packed with plenty of dancing along with stories, videos and info about the history and key artists. Get ready to geek out!

Classes happen live every week on Zoom:

  • Tuesday at 7pm UK / 8pm CET

Each course is either 4 or 6 weeks long. You can join in the first 2 weeks of the course.

More info and registration for our upcoming courses are available below.

 Blues Aesthetic: 1 March - 5 April 2022
What makes something (dance or music) "bluesy"? It's a feeling, sure. But it's more than just a feeling. Some of the technical aspects of blues aesthetic we'll dig in to are:

- Asymmetry and shape
- Integration and athleticism
- Our relationship to the beat
- Coolness and personal authenticity

We'll analyse footage of dancers - old and new - to inform and inspire our movement.

LATIN BLUES: 19 April - May 24 2022
What is Latin blues anyway? Blues music with Latin rhythms!
In this 6 week course, we really dig in to the sounds, styles and history with plenty of rhythms and dancing!
​
We'll cover the common Latin rhythms found across different styles of blues; as well as a few unusual ones, covering songs more than 100 years old to songs from our favourite present day blues artists.
