Tracks
| Track Title | Track Description |
|---|---|
| Fundamentals on the Fast Track |
These concept and technique based classes will focus on the nitty gritty of basic blues dancing. For example, pulse, close embrace, turn technique, momentum, stretch and lag. |
| Dig that Move! | These content and vocabulary based classes will focus on leveling up skills in solo moves, idiom dances and those cool turns, sidepasses or combos we want to learn! |
| Express Yourself! | These classes will focus on how to hone individuality within the dance. Topics like how to have the best conversation, be playful and cool; how to be your most musical self with a partner; and how to fall in love with blues again. |
| Jam Block | These classes are instructor’s choice, which means you get to jam with them about topics they love! |
| Lecture Hall | These presentations and lectures will focus on blues history, blues music, organizer topics, skills for instructors and tips for students. |
| Advanced Track (Audition only) |
Auditions for the advanced track will take place at the Saturday Night dance. Don't worry! It's super low-key so don't stress! During the DJ'd time slots, Flouer and Shawn will be available to dance with you. All you have to do is go dance with them for a little bit and they'll let you know in person (and privately) if you can take their advanced classes. If you'd like a little bit of feedback about your dancing, they can provide that as well! |
