Blues Dance Einsteiger-Workshop

Registration is possible without a dance partner.

Blues Dance

The blues encompasses a variety of dance styles that have developed parallel to blues music in the bars of the USA since the end of the 19th century and have revolutionized again in the last 15 years. Blues can be danced with a partner or solo. The rhythm and the individual interpretation of the music are of key importance. This can range from traditional blues to electric blues to modern music, e.g. alternative. Learning figures is less important than communication with the partner, mutual inspiration, improvisation and the use of conscious body movements and space. These experiences are also valuable for other (swing) dances. Ultimately, it's about sharing beautiful dance moments!

We provide insights into the basics that make blues so special for us: the blues aesthetic, musicality and a good connection. And we'll show you how you can move to blues music on the dance floor in a relaxed way (alone and as a couple).

You can see what blues can look like here.

Everybody leads, everybody follows

This course is based on the concept "ELEF - Everybody Leads, Everybody Follows".
This means that you learn both dance roles - leader and follower - because blues dance, even more than other dances, thrives on dialog.

In this course you will learn everything you need to know so that you can continue dancing in the ongoing Level 1 course on Monday (Memphis course).
