The Night Owls - Monday Night Blues

Blues Dancing
Blues dance refers to a family of dances which were originated by African American communities in the southern USA in the early 20th century. They are danced to many different styles of blues music but are all deeply rooted in Black American culture and history.
Class Info

6:30 pm - Beginners from scratch: These classes are designed for dancers with no previous experience. They'll introduce the fundamentals of blues dancing, the basic shapes and some accessible moves you can use on the social dance floor. Each class will build up your blues vocabulary so you can start creating and improvising with your partner. 

7:30 pm - Beginners plus: These classes are designed for students who have completed a number of previous Beginners classes or one of our Beginners workshops and have covered some basic concepts such as basic rhythm, groove and partner connection. A great chance to extend your learning, start playing with variations and build your confidence for the social floor. If you're not sure, please ask your teachers.

8:30 pm - 9 pm - Free social dancing

Expect to have fun and meet loads of new people, while you explore becoming a grounded, versatile and expressive dancer.

We'll also share some of the amazing artists who have created the blues and hope to inspire you to learn more about this rich, living culture.
