Comfort with close embrace and consistent ability to match a partner's pulse are general pre-requisites.
A one-off advanced blues workshop on the specific blues style Struttin':
Originating from Memphis, often danced to slightly faster jukin' or delta style blues music, this style of blues is typically danced in close embrace, with a "lean-to" frame and very individualized footwork (follow and lead can often be on opposite feet). This a great dance to bring skills for faster music and get really comfortable with faster close embrace pulse.
See Damon Stone's historical description of the dance and a video demo of the style here:
