We are having another taster and social!

💙Blues dancing taster class and social dance

📅 Tuesday, 26 November, 7 – 10 pm

📍Hemingways Coffee House & Bar (64A Tithebarn St, Liverpool L2 2EE). The nearest station is Moorfields + plenty of street parking nearby!

✨Pay what you feel (suggested donation £5). All proceeds will go towards a Xmas party in December 🥳!

🕖 7 – 8 pm: 1-hour beginner friendly taster. No partner required!

It's perfect if you’re trying blues for the first time or just want to go over the basics again. It's also a great opportunity to bring your friends along and introduce them to blues dancing!

Blues is a partnered dance, which means there are two roles – lead and follow. This will be "Everyone leads, everyone follows" class: we encourage you to try both roles, but of course you can stick to your preferred role during the social. We’ll also be rotating partners.

🕘 8 – 10 pm: the class will be followed by a dj-set to social dance and practice your new dance skills ✨

Blues is a social dance, which means it’s intended for participation, improvisation and fun rather than achievement and performance.

See you on the dancefloor 💙🫂
