This week Jenn Martinez will work on precision in solo movement in:
 
Movement & Matching (7:30-8:30)
Awareness of your own body mechanics and how you’re connecting to your partner makes the freedom in blues dance even more awesome. Each week we’ll look at a different aspect of precision. This time we’ll go deeper into how we create our movement as well as exploring how to recreate that of our fellow dancers.
 
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 Jenn Martinez and Amy Blank.
 
As always, the lesson is $5 and the dance is an additional $5.

This month we learned some cool Chicago-style Steppin’, and now it’s time for a special Clinic! The first half will be spent on Steppin’, and the second half on Blues. Plus, we’ll be joined by some of the Red Velvet Steppers:

Crossover Clinic (7:30-9:30)
The Clinic is an opportunity to work one-on-one with 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.

Julie Brown and Steve York will be behind the DJ booth for your dancing pleasure.

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