Blues dance is an improvised partner dance with deep roots in African American blues music. It’s all about feeling the rhythm, moving naturally, and connecting—either with a partner or dancing solo if that’s more your style. The music is rich and expressive, and that variety shapes how we dance.

In class, we explore different styles of partner dancing—from grooving side-by-side to dancing in a close, comfy hold (think of it like a friendly hug on the move). You might find yourself sweeping across the dance floor to some elegant, gliding blues or busting out creative moves to a gritty funk blues track.
