Ruth Evelyn and Mike Grosser are back with more ways to go with the flow. Join us this week as they focus on hip movement:

Go With the Flow (7:30-8:30)
Ruth and Mike (and Julie Brown) are back this month with another new set of flow classes, emphasizing vocabulary and technique. Each week we’ll teach you a different set of movements that flow together well, giving different tips to leads and follows as you make the movements your own.
Week 1: Hips
Week 2: Solo with Julie
Week 3: Ballroomin’

Blues Basics + Beginner Clinic (8:30-9:30)
This weekly drop-in class is designed for new-to-blues dancers or anyone wanting to focus on the fundamentals. It will provide enough moves to have fun on the dance floor, as well the opportunity to hone and polish the core techniques behind the dance. Each week, we’ll cover something new, so you can come every week, or just drop in for a class or few. This class includes the beginner clinic, where you can work on your dancing one-on-one with instructors and advanced dancers. This month it will be taught by Ruth Evelyn and Mike Grosser.

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

Julie Brown’s series has ended, but we can still work on cool, complex movement (or anything else) at Clinic:

Blues Clinic (7:30-9:30)
The Blues Clinic is an opportunity to work one-on-one with our Blues Union instructors and to work with your friends and peers. Music plays in the background as people work together, and the instructors move around the room, working with people one-on-one or in couples. When not working with instructors, people work with peers, dance with each other, try new things they’re working on, or try things the instructors have helped them with. You can work on material from that month’s series class, workshops you took recently, or anything you like! From 8:30-9:15, we have our Blues Basics class as usual, while the clinic continues in the rest of the room.

Plus, someone will win a private lesson with the one and only Julie Brown! Attending the Clinic comes with a raffle entry.

Paul Loschak and Dan Legenthal will be behind the DJ booth for your Blues pleasure.

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