BLUES Classes, Thursday Nights at Glen Echo Park
Room 304, Arcade BuildingBlues Dancing: If you’ve taken a beginning Blues class or enjoyed a few Blues dances, you are ready to move up to the next level. This class goes beyond the basics with challenging footwork, dips, and figures. We will borrow from Argentine tango for more options and improvisation. Blues Dancing: Advanced If you've taken Int./Adv. level blues classes or have been dancing Blues for a few months, you are ready to move up to the next level. This is our most advanced Blues class. Take the final challenge and refine your connection and styling. Really tune your footwork, incorporate dips and leans, and develop your creative side. Thursdays, July 12 - August 2, 8:00 - 9:00 pm When the music gets too slow to swing dance and changes the mood altogether, you need to know how to change your dancing too. Learn the tools to establish a strong connection with your partner, develop effective lead/follow skills, and move creatively as partners to express the blues. No partner required. $40 for four, one-hour classes. Register ONLINE (recommended) or register at the door on July 12 in Room 304, Arcade Building. *Registration Notes: Each full series costs $40, plus a $12 registration fee.
