Another series ended means it’s time for another Blues Clinic:

Blues Clinic (7:30-9)
During Blues Clinics we gather as many instructors as we can for personalized instruction. Students dance with instructors and get individual feedback on their dancing. Music plays continuously in the background, and students are encouraged to social dance and give each other feedback while not dancing with instructors. There is also a long beginner lesson running throughout, making the Clinic perfect for introducing newcomers to Blues Dancing.

Ready to satisfy your Blues cravings will be Stephen York and Alex Abdoulaev behind the DJ booth.

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

We are back in action this week with the final installment of the Musicality series taught by Julie Brown and Jenn Martinez:

Musicality (All Levels, 7:30-8:30)
One of the beauties of Blues is its sheer variance in tempos, styles, and moods. So naturally, we want our dancing to reflect that! In this class we will focus on how to listen to and root yourself in the music, and how to translate that into different styles of movements and cool rhythms.

Beginner Crash Course (8:30-9:00)
This will be a weekly feature designed to introduce novices to Blues dancing. It will provide enough vocabulary to have fun on the dance floor. Plus, when students feel comfortable with this material, they’ll be ready for the Series classes.

Leslie Stevenson and Devona Cartier will be behind the DJ booth and ready to take care of all your Blues needs.

Plus, we’re dropping the class prices back to $5, and as always, the dance is $5.
