Whether you're Blues-Curious, a seasoned All-Star, or somewhere in-between, if you're hoping to work on your Blues dancing, this is the right place for you!
Note: This is a fully masked event (more details below)
๐…๐จ๐ซ๐ฆ๐š๐ญ
2 areas of the room will running simultaneously:
1. Topic Clusters / small group sessions
-- Have a topic you've been wanting to work on or learn about? Awesome! We'll have post-it notes for folks to write down their ideas / desires for the first 10 minutes of practice. At 2:10PM, we'll cluster ideas and have a more experienced dancer take point on the exploration of each topic cluster.
-- "Super duper basics" is 100% a valid topic. As is "What is Blues?"
-- Anyone can choose to join any group, regardless of skill or whether or not they wrote anything down on a post-it note. Anyone is free to join and leave groups at will, as long as they're mindful about not disrupting someone's chain of thought.
-- Clusters may mutate, shift, disperse, or reform depending on the needs of its participants.

2. Open Floor / Social Dance Area
-- Want to break off and work on something on your own or with just one other person? Or maybe head full, no thoughts? Feel free to just hang out on the couches and chat or social dance.
-- Anyone swinging by the practice session late is always welcomed to social dance.
-- We'll even have books on Blues Music and Dancing if you want to introvert!

๐‚๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ:
$0-20 sliding scale for 2 hours of facilitated practice time. No one turned away for lack of funds. Support in covering costs is greatly appreciated (and support even if you can't make it is doubly appreciated).

๐•๐ž๐ง๐ฎ๐ž ๐ˆ๐ง๐Ÿ๐จ:
Sprung wood floor.
Entrance will be on 37th street.
Water from a fountain, no food sold on-site. Feel free to bring your own food, but remember you'll need to consume it outside. We recommend you grab brunch before showing up!

2 blocks from MacArthur BART. (where you can also almost always find free parking on Sundays). We ask that you do not park on 37th and 38th out of respect for the residents that live near the Oakland Grove.

KN95, KF94, N95 or higher rated masks required (well fitting, no vents) while indoors during movie and dance. (The only exceptions are in the building's shared hallways outside of our rented space, and a separate room for kids who can't mask or are overstimulated). If you feel sick or like you might be getting sick, please do not attend. If you have had COVID recently, do not attend unless you are testing negative and 10 days have passed since your first symptoms or positive test.
