May The Blues Be With You

Get ready to level up your blues! We're so excited to share this lesson series that is designed and crafted to show you more of the intricacies of blues dance, music and culture, and give you space to fully engage your curiosity with the art form. In this 4-week series, we will explore the broader scope of blues aesthetics, learn some specific dance forms (idioms) in both jukin' and ballroomin', and give you the tools and practice to knowing more about yourself in blues.

This series will be led and taught by Robin Chow.

We are delighted to be joined by Lisa Jordan for most of the series, who will be sharing her insights and knowledge of blues during the lessons. Lisa is long-time blues dancer, with a deep well of understanding and experience with regards to blues, and it's such a privilege to have her with us.

Robin Chow
He / Him

Being a dancer who started later in life, and owing much to the discovery a hip hop tutorial video at the back of a You Got Served DVD, Robin truly believes that dance is inside every one of us. Whether it's a fully realized passion, or a whisper of curiosity, he feels that dance should always be available to our selves, whatever one's dance experience or familiarity. His dance repertoire is based on solo movement learned from a studio hip hop background, with the journey into social dancing starting with lindy hop, and over time including blues, balboa & fusion. And ever since his introduction to blues dancing in 2018, he has become a passionate practitioner and advocate of the form, and is dedicated to a continued journey of learning and sharing of blues dance and culture.
