WHAT WILL WE COVER?

Join us for a journey through the wonderfully varied world of blues dance — exploring different dances, different music, different rhythms and different vibes every week. Some weeks might be slow and groovy, others playful and energetic. You'll build your dancing while discovering just how much variety there is within blues.
SEPTEMBER (5 weeks) 
  • Chicago Party Blues
  • Delta Blues 
  • Funky Blues 
  • Piedmont
  • Trad Jazz Blues
OCTOBER (4 weeks) 
  • Big Band Blues
  • Latin Blues

*Classes are subject to change

Everyone is welcome
You don't need to sign up with a partner — we'll rotate partners during the classes so you'll get to dance with different people.

Everyone can lead, follow or try both, regardless of gender. So we can cover more material, you'll pick one role per class, but you're welcome to choose whichever you prefer and swap between classes. 

Come dance with us!
Expect good music, friendly people, and lots of dancing, with new blues dances and techniques that you can take straight onto the social dance floor.

These classes are only running for two months while we're in town, so come and join us for the September & October series!
