WORKSHOP #3 TICKETS ON SALE 6pm FRIDAY 12 SEPTEMBER
Jo and Andy are back with our last of three Intermediate level Blues Workshops in 2025, and tickets for our final workshop for the year are on sale now!
Why learn Blues? Because it’s amazing! As the original American art form (it pre-dates Jazz) it’s the root of many other dance styles such as Lindy Hop, so an understanding of Blues makes ALL your dancing better. Blues music is one of the most diverse genres out there, so there is always more to learn, more songs to dance to and explore, and more to enjoy.
DETAILS:
Workshop 3: Saturday 11th October 2-5.45pm (3 hours with breaks)
Where: Vine Church Hall, 196 Albion St, Surry Hills NSW 2010
Cost: $60
Transport: Nearest station is Central, limited street parking available (check signs)
WORKSHOP SCHEDULE:
2.00pm: Doors open
Class 1: 2.15-3.15pm - Ballroomin’ Blues Bootcamp
We’re going to do a deep dive into Blues technique to take your dancing to the next level. If you want to be the dancer that everyone wants to dance with, then this is the class for you! By fine tuning our technique we can elevate our dance learning which allows us to unlock quality movement and achieve those fancy moves that are sure to impress.
Class 2: 3.30-4.30pm - Jazzing up your Jukin’ Blues
Pulse is the heartbeat of the dance, and is what keeps the dance and connection with our partner alive and kicking. We’ll be working with some advanced concepts and skills to take our dancing to the next level and add texture and personality to our Blues dancing.
Class 3: 4.45-5.45pm - Throwing down on the social floor
Social dancing is where it’s at… and in this class we’ll play with riffing, hyping, and how we can bring our best dance selves to the floor and raise the energy and creativity to the max!
WORKSHOP LEVEL:
These classes will be aimed at intermediate and above level dancers, and are not suitable for beginners or people who are new to partner dancing. Experience in Blues dancing is ideal, but if you are an intermediate level dancer in Swing or another partnered dance style, you should be OK. We will also have some tricky moves and technique for anyone who is up for a challenge. If you are new to Blues dancing, then a great place to start is the All-Levels Blues classes at North Sydney with Jo and Andy. We are planning to run these on October 7th and December 2nd 2025.
