Beginner Classes

IMG_5713Welcome to our beginner series.  This is a set of ten classes designed to give you a broad overview of Blues fundamentals.  What that means is that whether you’re a new or an advanced dancer, these ideas are important to master and explore throughout your Blues dancing career.  We spend a lot of time playing games, explaining concepts, and dancing to really good music.  These classes are a lot of fun, not just dance training to have fun later.

This series of ten is broken up into two cycles, each of which focuses on a different broad range of skills by covering technique, movement, partnering, musicality, and fundamentals.

Cycle 1

Focus on closed connections, small balanced movements, and more stationary improvisations

Cycle 2
