Beginners Crash Course Blues

The Blues Joint hosts a monthly crash course for (absolute) beginners each first Tuesday of the month from 19:00 until 21:00. In these sessions, we run through all the fundamentals you need to get on the dance floor or join a practice session! By the end of these two hours you’ll be grooving, turning, walking and smiling just like a blues dancer — because you are one, darling! You can follow these classes once or multiple times, we’ll slightly change the content — so they’ll always feel fresh, with new material in each course. And most importantly, you’ll have lots of fun! Right after the crash course, you’ll get the chance to show off your new skills during our weekly Backroom Blues social. Check our website for more information and signing up: https://thebluesjoint.dance/classes/weekly-classes/ And good to know: (pretty much) every Tuesday (except the first of the month, of course!) we organize a donation based Community Practice Session before our social from 20:00 till 21:00.
