Welcome to Blues Fundamentals! This course is for anyone who would like to dive into the world of blues. Everyone is welcome, whether you’re an experienced blues dancer or completely new and curious. To keep the classes relevant for multiple levels, we explore different themes each round.
In this round we will focus on the techniques that make dancing feel and look great, and which serve as the foundation for fancier moves as well. We will work with concepts such as posture, balance, frame, pulse, stretch and compression through exercises and moves where you can feel the difference that these concepts make. Don’t worry if you don’t know any of these concepts or any blues moves yet – we will explain it all in class. We will also give individual feedback for anyone who would like that.
Partner rotation will be the default in this class as in any other class, and we generally think this is a great way to learn and get to know people in the community. However, if you want to share the dance with a fixed partner, you are welcome to do so.
