9pm Blues Class - Slow dancing, soulful, playful, and creative. General level
Blues is what we dance to slower Swing & Jazz that doesn't always suit a Lindy. It is also danced to Blues music and a variety of modern music. The basic footwork is simple and quick to pick up and the connection and expressiveness of the movements make this dance very special and will improve all your dancing.
