This week at Blues Union

Come join us for more fun with struttin’, brought to you by Jenn Martinez and Forrest Rogers-Marcovitz:

Struttin’ (7:30-8:30)
Originally from Memphis, struttin’ is a fun, relaxed, close-embrace-based dance, with fun footwork for leaders and followers. Check out some examples:

This series will work your struttin’ technique, as well as take you beyond the basics.

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 Julie Brown and Jenn Martinez.

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

Join us for the last Blues Union of 2014:

Intermediate Clinic (7:30-8:30)
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.
