For our 2025 winter workshop we're having a group of our local dancers share some of the topics we just can't get enough of. These are topics we've been building up knowledge and skills around for years and some of the signatures of how we each dance. We want to share some of our favorite things with the scene and let you in on some of our secrets!Classes will take place at Four Seasons Dance Studio (1637 Hennepin Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55403). Classes will be $20 each at the door if you do not pre-register. CB will host a house party Saturday night from 8 pm - midnight at 2609 Columbus Ave. Apt 1, Minneapolis, MN 55407 which will cost $5.

SATURDAY CLASSES, 2/15
12:30 - 1:30 pm: Posture with Lindy and Emily
We're learning how to look strong but effortless, get the coziest dances, and keep your body feeling great through hours of dancing. We'll explore which muscles you use to support yourself and how your posture feels to you and to your dance partners. This class will begin with laying on the floor - please dress accordingly!
1:45 - 2:45 pm: Sass, attitude, and getting gritty with Brenda and Emily
So you've got the moves, but do you have the attitude? This class is all about getting out of your head, feeling the music, and *going for it*. Build confidence to bring more of your personality to every dance and find your own style within the Blues aesthetic.
3 - 4 pm: Fast but chill with Susan and Emily
It's the last class of the day and we're throwing fast songs at you?! Yes! But we're showing you how to keep the energy low with small moves. We'll keep you on the dance floor to a wider range of tempos without breaking a sweat.

SUNDAY CLASSES, 2/16
2:30 - 3:30 pm: Butts with Laney and Brenda
No matter whether it's flat or round, big or small, everyone has a butt. In this class we'll learn both about the function and the artistry of using your butt better. Come shake it with us! You'll learn to expand your range of motion, get into hinging your hips, and try out some fun moves.
3:45 pm - 4:45 pm: Musicality with Maurice and Laney
Tailoring your dance to the specific song playing is critical for leveling up your Blues dancing. We’ll work on hearing specific parts of a song and matching that up with your dance. Expect to work on footwork patterns, isolations, and increasing your adventurousness! Shoes with a slick sole are recommended.
Fragrance Policy
For the comfort of all attendees, please avoid the use of strongly fragranced products before and during the workshop, including scented hand sanitizers.

For out of town guests, we will run a housing system to match you with locals willing to host you. We cannot make guarantees about housing, but we expect to be able to accommodate folks. We will try to keep groups together.
