Like most Swing dances, Blues dancing is rooted deeply in early African American culture and is a fusion of several different styles – from Lindy Hop to Ballet. This partnered dance was born in smokey dives and at house parties right around the same time as other swing dances were starting to catch on. There are many types of Blues music (rural, urban, up-tempo, slow, electric, delta, modern) and also many types of Blues dance (fishtail, mooche, slow drag) all with very different nuances and emotions-and we will sample a bit of it all.
