Grow as a dancer
We provide regularly scheduled classes designed for total beginners to intermediates. Advanced courses are also occasionally offered.
To gain a strong foundation in blues aesthetic and movement, join our beginner-centric monthly class that occurs from 7–7:45pm on the last Tuesday of each month at Falcon Bowl in Riverwest. A vintage swing jazz band plays live music from 8–10pm. Both the lesson and band event are free to join, but tips for the band are highly encouraged to help keep the event going.
Once you feel comfortable with the basics and have started to work on idioms and more advanced self-styling, you are invited to join the intermediate lesson that occurs monthly at different residences of our dancer friends.
Blues Workshop
Ready to level-up your blues dancing? The award-winning Jenny Sowden is coming to Milwaukee. This is a workshop you won’t want to miss! 4 hours of instruction with a social dance to follow.
Schedule:Workshop Focuses:
Hips!
Let's get into our hip movements. You'll walk away with effective technique, direction for flow and named moves to work with. This will be a mix of solo and partnered movement. Let's get those hips movin'!
Expanding Ideas
Sometimes we get locked into thinking of the next move and we miss the opportunities. Let's take a move or idea, add some variety, rhythm, wit, and conversation to make it a full thought. From 8 counts expanded playfully to a full phrase. Think less, dance more.
Creative Transitions
So we had an idea, we played with it, now let's transition out. You'll get some to-go ways to transition to the next idea, ways that could feel like their own move. Let's avoid the feeling of a vocabulary list and instead keep a groove going in the dance.
