Rhythm & Soul

A Dance of Connection and Feeling

Blues dancing is a partner dance rooted in early 20th-century African American culture, inspired by the rhythm and emotion of Blues music. It’s a style that emphasizes connection, musicality, and expression rather than perfect steps.

Blues music itself grew from spirituals, work songs, and field hollers in the Deep South, reflecting themes of resilience and emotion. The dance invites people of all levels to interpret the music, from slow, smooth movements to lively, energetic rhythms.
