Learn to dance blues every week at Thursday Night Blues! But what IS blues dancing, you may ask...
It's a vintage partner dance, rooted in African-American culture and music, with a history dating back to the 1890s. Since then, it has developed through blues music, and waves of cultural change, to become a rich and dynamic collection of dance styles with something for everyone.
We have a variety of experienced teachers with different interests and approaches who take it in turns to teach each week, and over time you will learn a rich dance vocabulary of different moves, styles and techniques.
We have an all-levels class and a social dance every Thursday, (apart from five week months, where the fifth Thursday is an extended social from 8-10pm) so why not join us! And if you fall in love with Blues and intend to continue coming on a regular basis, stamp cards are available at a discount to cover multiple classes.
