This week at Blues Union

Thursday, January 16

This week Ruth Evelyn and Mike Grosser will show us ways to be more creative:

Dance Thievery (7:30-8:30)
Steal dance moves from your friends, colleagues, idols and enemies. Get a quick shot of creativity juice as we give you concrete ways to invent your own steal-worthy moves. We’ll even teach you how to steal ideas from yourself.

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.

Susan de Guardiola and Sarah Elise will be behind the DJ booth to keep you dancing all night.

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

Thursday, December 12

Come join us for the last Blues Union of the year:

Blues 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. You can work on material from that month’s series class, workshops you took recently, or anything you like!
