Blues workshop 2 - August 2025

Jo and Andy are back with three Intermediate level Blues Workshops in 2025, and tickets for Workshop #2 are on sale 6.30pm July 9th! Each workshop will explore new ideas, techniques and moves, and help you become the best Blues dancer that you can be.
Why learn Blues? Because it’s amazing! As the original American art form (it pre-dates Jazz) it’s the root of many other dance styles such as Lindy Hop, so an understanding of Blues makes ALL your dancing better. Blues music is one of the most diverse genres out there, so there is always more to learn, more songs to dance to and explore, and more to enjoy.

WORKSHOP LEVEL:
These classes will be aimed at intermediate and above level dancers, and are not suitable for beginners or people who are new to partner dancing. Experience in Blues dancing is ideal, but if you are an intermediate level dancer in Swing or another partnered dance style, you should be OK. We will also have some tricky moves and technique for anyone who is up for a challenge. If you are new to Blues dancing, then a great place to start is the All-Levels Blues classes at North Sydney with Jo and Andy. We are planning to run these on October 7th and December 2nd 2025. You can find more information about these here: https://www.facebook.com/share/16jmhizkyp/
