Instead of an introductory series in March, I'm going to be running 4 intermediate classes. At least some prior blues dance experience is required.
Classes will ideally build on each other, but you do not necessarily have complete earlier ones to take the next. If you have less experience though, please consider taking classes in order (especially pulse & groove first).

7:30-9pm Monday nights
March. 10, 17, 24, 31
Instructors: Sara Sloan & Candra Marr
$20 per class (cash or e-transfer)
Message me (Sara Sloan) to register ahead of time to get the exact address. Please let me know if you need to cancel asap, so I can open up more spots if needed. Due to the small space, I am limiting it to 10 participants.

Topics:
March.10: Pulse and Groove
How to look and feel like a Blues pro. What makes Blues dance look like Blues dance and how do I make my movements feel bluesy? How to connect with your partner with different types of pulses.

March. 17: Slow Drag
All about dancing slow and close embrace. The subtlety, connection and squish.

March.24: Connection
Blues has a flexibility of connection that allows for more individuality, but how do we stay connected even when we're doing different movements?

March.31: Musicality
There are as many styles of blues dance as there are styles of blues music...how do I know what styles to dance to this song?
Listening, call and response, hitting the breaks - bringing the music and our partner together.

Location (PLEASE READ):
I will send people the exact address when registering. It's in Marpole area of Vancouver. There is lots of street parking in the area and buses.
I do NOT have a buzzer to let people in, so I ask that people please show up promptly by 7:30pm, so someone can run to the door and let people in. Send a message (or call if I don't respond-messenger sometimes doesn't go through) and someone will come get you.
