Blues

Blues dance is a modern term that describes a diverse collection of African American vernacular dances. Moreso than its historical contemporary Swing dancing, Blues dancing remains highly grounded in African principles of movement such as emphasis on the hips, syncopation, call and response, and dancing within a boundary. The generally simple one- and two-step patterns of blues dance allow for ultimate creativity, musicality, and nuance in your movement.
