Blues Workshops
Lost and found: Find a new flow in breakaways
Nov 28: Johannes and Patrizia
In this workshop, we’ll dive into techniques of breaking away in blues dance while still dancing together with our partner. You’ll learn how to flow smoothly between solo moments and effortless reconnection, creating dynamic, playful interactions on the floor. No need for extensive solo blues experience – this class will guide you through everything you need to know. Explore the freedom of improvisation while mastering the skills to find each other again with confidence and style. Perfect for dancers with at least one year of blues dance experience who are ready to expand their partnered blues vocabulary and explore new layers of connection!
