Learn tips, tools & techniques to give you the confidence to get up and dance to a blues song. We will explore foundational aspects of partner dancing, look at rhythm, musicality, the historic roots of Blues and get you connected to your breathe, your feeling body, your partner and the music. My intention is to support you to cultivate a more authentic connection within your blues dance which can positively impact all of your dancing and  your whole life. 

 

In the Winter Blues we will explore close embrace, musicality, different rhythms, revise basic turns and look at followers autonomy. Open to anyone who attended my classes before & for those with some Blues experience.

 Since 2012 I have facilitated embodied movement & authentic expression in the body and voice for performers, dancers for individuals and companies including The British Council, 1927 and Dartington Summer School; For children and young adults with YMT UK,  British Ballet Organisation and The Theatre Workshop Brighton and for the elderly and infirm with Arts For Health. You can read more about my related workshop series here: Embodiment workshops.

And finally; go raibh maith agat agus grá mór to Vicci & Adamo, Alexia & Sep and Gus & Alba, who have been my first teachers in Blues and have inspired me to learn more and keep spreading the love for this form.
