Happy New Year! (…for when it comes…)
Gonna have a resolution to be more active? Wanna join a cool group of people? Just wanna get your dance on?! Jute City Blues is comin' back! Come join us! <
As always, we can’t wait to share more of our love for blues music and blues dance with you so come join us Tuesdays at 19:30 for 5 weeks from the 13th Jan. Our classes are accessible no matter your experience and you don’t need a partner to join us!
Blues music and dance encompasses a wide variety of styles, so if you would like to see some examples check out our social media @jutecityblues on Insta and Facebook.
CLASS INFO
🩵Class times: 19:30 - 20:30 (please arrive 5-10 minutes early to ensure you get in) with a little bit of social practice after class. Afterwards, join us at the pub!
🩵 Venue: Nilipul centre on Reform street (this is up the stairs next to Santander).
🩵 All classes are open to all levels, drop in, and you do not need a partner to come along.
🩵After class we usually move over to a lovely (extremely nearby) pub called The Barrelman to hang out and chat, if you can’t make it to class you’re welcome to join us there.
COST
🩵 Classes are £5 (in cash if at all possible)
🩵 If you are able and would like to pay a bit more to donate to the future of Blues dancing in Dundee it would be immensely appreciated!
🩵 We also offer free/pay what you can spots to those not working or who would find the cost a barrier so come along and dance with us!
If you would like to pay for all the classes in the block in one go, we will give you a £5 discount, giving you a class for free to say thanks for making the math easier for us.
Things to note:
🩵 For footwear please bring along soft soled shoes of some kind, or socks you are willing to move around in to help us care for our lovely venue and allow you to move around freely.
🩵 As Blues is a social dance our classes will involve rotating around participants to let us practice dancing with lots of different people.
🩵 While Blues can seem quite chill please do bring along a water bottle of some kind. 🙂
🩵 Blues is danced often in “close embrace” (chest to chest contact) and while not obligatory we will be encouraging its use, so please also double check hygiene before coming along for everyone’s comfort.
Blues dancing is a group of related dance styles that developed in African American communities in the US alongside Blues music and emphasises improvisation, rhythm, and connection to the music and your partner. It is a social dance which can be danced solo, with a partner, or as a group - so there’s something for everyone.
Really looking forward to dancing with you all!
