Are you a lover of dancing to live music?<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc83 Come experience the magic of deeply connected dancing to live music. Jake Green is a Copenhagen-based Blues musician with a powerful voice and soulful guitar playing, and he has years of experience playing especially for partner dancers.<\/p>\n
\u2728 There\u2019s something truly special about dancing to a live musician \u2014 a dialogue between everyone in the room emerges as the music responds and invites you into connection in a way recorded music simply can\u2019t. It\u2019s one of those experiences that reminds you why you fell in love with partner dancing in the first place.<\/p>\n
\ud83c\udfa7 In between live sets DJ Saratonin will play some bluesy inspired fusion sets to keep us in the gooey dancing zone. After the concert we will have an hour of fusion social dancing.<\/p>\n
What is Blues Dancing?<\/p>\n
Blues dancing is a partner dance rooted in African American Blues culture, danced to Blues music. It\u2019s grounded, intimate, and improvisational, with a strong focus on connection, musicality, and listening\u2014to the music and to each other. Rather than fixed steps, blues dancing invites you to move naturally, expressively, and in close conversation with your partner and the live sound.<\/p>\n Do I need to know how to dance Blues to attend this event?<\/p>\n No. We\u2019ll begin the evening with a Blues taster class, giving everyone simple tools and a shared language to feel comfortable on the social floor. While Blues dancers will feel right at home at this event, dancers from all backgrounds are warmly welcome. <\/p>\n You don\u2019t need Blues technique to dance to this kind of music. Compared to other partner dances, Blues does not have a strict structure that you need to know to be able to dance it. It is a dance that comes from people connecting late at night in bars, and you can feel this. <\/p>\n If you love close embrace, slow dancing, musicality, and partner dance where connection matters more than steps, this evening is for you.<\/p>\n Do I Need a Partner to Attend this Event?<\/p>\n Nope. In the taster class we will rotate partners frequently and you\u2019re invited to dance with everyone on the social dance floor. <\/p>\n ALL THE DETAILS:<\/p>\n \ud83d\udd50 Schedule:<\/p>\n 18:45: Doors Open (Drinks Available) Address: SALIG, Masned\u00f8gade 20, 2nd floor, 2100 \u00d8sterbro<\/p>\n \ud83c\udf9f\ufe0f TICKETS & PRICING<\/p>\n \ud83d\udd17 Sign up here: https:\/\/sarahmassagecph.as.me\/jakegreen<\/a><\/p>\n To keep our events as accessible as possible, we always have a sliding scale for ticket prices. <\/p>\n \u201cI Can Offer Support\u201d \u2013 395 kr – This lets us offer discounted tickets to other dancers.<\/p>\n \u201cI Can Only Afford to Dance\u201d \u2013 295 kr – This is the minimum per person that should hopefully cover event costs \u201cI Need Support\u201d \u2013 195 kr – This is our discounted price for those of you on low\/no incomes. \ud83d\udcb0 A small note from your organiser \u2013 I\u2019m taking on more of a financial risk than I normally do for our regular events in inviting a live musician to play.
