Thursday, October 4

For October, Julie Brown and Devona Cartier will be showing us how to really move:

Good Body Movement (7:30-8:30)
Join Julie & Devona for a month of classes on moving better! In this series, you’ll learn how to move in a way that looks good, feels good, is more balanced, and is healthier for your knees, back, shoulders, etc. These skills will help both your solo and partner dancing, and while this is a blues dance series, much of the material will be applicable to swing dancing as well.

Note: To take this class, you must be at the intermediate level at New School Swing, or have a recommendation from a Blues Union instructor. To get a recommendation, ask an instructor at the Blues Clinic 🙂 More information can be found on the Upcoming Classes page.

Blues Basics (8:30-9:00)
This will be a weekly class designed not only for the novice, but anyone wanting to focus on the fundamentals of Blues dancing. It will provide enough vocabulary to have fun on the dance floor, as well the opportunity to hone and polish the core techniques behind the dance.

Amy Kucharik and Jonathan Pechon will be behind the DJ booth to scratch your Blues itch.

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