Blues Ballroom Vocabulary Autumn 2025

Blues is a partnered dance done to blues music. The tempo can vary from an up-tempo strut to a sleepy, moving hug. Blues is always evolving, and embraces everything from latin to country. 
 
About Blues: It is hard to tell when blues started, as it was passed on and not written down, and blues dance developed alongside the music. Blues dance as we know it developed around 1915-1920 and the famous st. Louis Blues was written down around 1914, while blues music has a long history back to the african-american slaves. Sometimes the lyrics describe a mean woman who takes your money and your happiness, but rumour has it, the evil women in the songs actually describes the slave owners.
 
In these classes we will get familliar with some different vocabulary you can use in your general dancing and on the social dancefloor.
