Welcome to another Sunday Study Hall!
This time... BLUES EDITION! This month will be focusing all practice and critiques geared towards upping your game when it comes to social dancing and competing to Blues music!
Guided Practice + Social Dance w/ DJ Sharlot Bott
🕒 Sunday February 22nd
- 12:15 – 1:00 Blues Workshop
- 1:00 - 3:45 Open dancing/ Practice
BONUS: Blues-Focused Workshop with Samantha!
Start your day with clear guidance on musicality, movement, and connection—so you know exactly what to work on before practice begins.
Sunday Study Hall is a choose-your-own-adventure West Coast Swing afternoon; part guided practice, part social tea dance, all in a relaxed, supportive environment.
Whether you want to social dance with friends, work intentionally on your dancing, or get feedback from instructors, you get to decide how you use the time.
This is not a traditional class and not a rigid structure. Come as you are, dance how you want, and engage at the level that feels right for you.

$30 – Full Experience
Start with the Blues Workshop, then immediately apply what you learn during guided practice, social dancing, and spotlight critiques
$20 – Sunday Study Hall Dance/Practice only
$20 – Blues Workshop only
(Atomic Credits not applicable)

✨ How You Can Use the Time✨
-Social dance freely with friends
-Practice intentionally with a partner or solo
-Ask for on-the-spot feedback from instructors
-Observe, listen, and learn from others
-Participate in optional spotlight practice sessions
Instructors will be circulating throughout the afternoon—available if you want guidance, and hands-off if you don’t.
💡Optional Spotlight Critique Sessions💡
For dancers who want a little extra focus, we’ll offer two spotlight practice times:
🕑 2:00 PM
🕒 3:00 PM
-3 slots per time / 12 total dancers will receive a short spotlight practice session
-Live, encouraging feedback from our instructors
-Open for everyone else to watch, listen, and learn
These are intentionally low-pressure and designed to support growth—not performance perfection.
First come, first served
To claim a spotlight slot, reach out directly to Samantha.
