When you listen to Blues music do you feel compelled to move? Perhaps you want to dance but don't have a dance partner. Or you just don't want to commit to the fixed schedule at a dance school!
In any case our Blues social, with its preceding class, is just the thing for you. Here you'll meet like-minded people and make new friends of all ages.
Every second and fourth Monday of the month, from 7-8pm, there'll be a themed blues dance class with Annette Kühnle (yours truly), followed by social
dancing from 8-10pm.
The classes are independent of one another so you can join whenever you like (no registration necessary).
Beginners are welcome, and so are more experienced dancers who'd like to dive deeper into the fundamentals of blues dancing.
Latin rhythms and blues: Vintage fusion…or simply two musical ideas that work extremely well together. No wonder musicians have been throwing them together for a very long time! In this class, we’ll identify one of the main Latin-based rhythms in blues music and incorporate it into our dancing. It’s time to unleash your hips!
22.7.
This week, we’ll continue to discover and express various Latin rhythms in blues music: Let’s first find ways to artfully communicate and move together with a dance partner, and then inject a serious dose of bluesy Latin rhythms into our dancing, ¡olé!
Class fee is donation based (recommendation: 5€/10€/15€ for low/middle/high income)
What's Blues?
Blues is an African American music and dance form that was developed around the end of the 19th century in South of the U.S., and that today is being played and danced all over the world.
Encompassed within the genre are many different styles and expressions of blues: From slow and emotionally evocative to groovier and faster sounds, from lamenting a painful event to celebrating a
joyful occasion - when it comes to the emotional rollercoaster that is life, the blues has got you covered! As dancers, we can express what we hear and feel in the music as well as connect with
our dance partners through our body movement. The blues can build us up or calm us down, letting us forget everyday life for a moment.
