This week we have Paul Mandel and Christine Moser teaming up to show you how to put more dynamics in your dancing:

Polyrhythms (Intermediate – 7:30-8:15)
Blues is all about rhythm, and we’re going to teach you how to put those rhythms in your body! We’ll cover some basic rhythms and then we’re going to push into expressing different rhythms with different parts of your body. Prepare for some fun isolations and challenging musicality!

Fundamentals of Rhythm (Beginner – 8:15-9:00)
We’ve got rhythm, we’ve got music, we’ve got dancing, who could ask for anything more? We’ll be using basic steps and rhythmic variations to create dynamic patterns in your dancing which will make your partner go ‘mmmmmm’.

Afterward we’ll have our own Steve York and the lovely Ms. Leslie Stevenson coming in all the way from Albany, NY to spin us some tunes.

As always, the lesson is $5, and the dance is an additional $5.

Last week we sped it up. This week, Amanda Gruhl and Jamie Triplett will be slowing it down:

Slowing Down with Stretch
Any good dancer will tell you, a partner with great stretch is the
best thing ever! We’ll improve your stretch and counterbalance using
some cool, swing-inspired, blues moves you can use on the dance floor.
Using stretch gives you a great tool to slow down your blues dancing
and connect with your partner.

Slow Drag
Learn one of the most common blues styles, the Slow Drag. For
beginners, we’ll cover how to pulse, how to connect with your partner,
and how to move around the floor. Intermediates will practice
collecting their weight, milking the movement, and dancing “in the
pocket.”

As always, the lesson $5, and the dance is an additional $5.
