Workshop content
Get ready for two days of blues workshops designed to energise dancers of every level. We will be diving into the core elements that make blues dancing so irresistibly expressive by working to deepen your connection to the music, your partner, and your own creative voice.
With a progressive learning focus on Chicago Triple, a blues dance with a distinctive pulse and infectious energy, you’ll pick up practical tools for weaving classic blues idioms into your movement, adding richness, nuance, and personality to your style.
Throughout the weekend, there will be an exploration of how to create space for followers ideas to shine, embracing the improvisational spirit blues. It’s a weekend built to inspire, challenge, and elevate your dancing, come be part of it!
What level do I need to be?
You need to be comfortable with partner dancing of some kind, not necessarily Blues though Blues experience will certainly help. You should understand the basics of leading or following and be capable of having a comfortable dance in your chosen style.
Can I just do one of the days?
Sorry, the workshop content is not designed for dropping in and out, for all attendees to get the most out of their investment we ask that you attend both days.
