We’ve spent the month learning choreography, and now it’s time once again for 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 8:30-9:00, we have our Blues Basics class as usual, while the clinic continues in the rest of the room.

Steve York will be behind the DJ booth to whet your Blues appetite.

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

This week Jenn Martinez will address performance and movement quality in:

Solo Blues Performance (7:30-8:30)
Level up your dancing with a fun and challenging solo blues choreography! This series will teach you some cool new solo blues moves, as well as help you explore your personal expression of those moves to music. During the month, we’ll learn choreography, form it into a group routine, and work on personal expression and performance. After the series, we’ll perform the piece at a Blues Union dance*!

*Performing is not mandatory, however, if you do want to perform, perfect attendance is strongly encouraged. If you want to perform but need to miss a class, it is your responsibility to learn what you missed.
