🎷 WHAT IS BLUES DANCE?
Blues dancing is not just one single dance; it is a soulful family of vernacular dances with deep roots in African American culture and history. Unlike dances that rely on rigid patterns, Blues is built on connection, improvisation, and a raw conversation with the music.
To see how this looks when technical skill meets pure soul, check out our instructors Philippa & Vivien in action:

📼 TONIGHT’S CLASS: A-SIDE / B-SIDE
This taster comes with a twist: A-Side / B-Side, like a cassette tape! 📼
A-Side brings upbeat solo movement to higher-energy Blues (think funk & disco vibes), while B-Side slows things down with a smooth, close-embrace pattern inspired by slow drag — all about connection. Both parts are guided and beginner-friendly.
