Blues Classes

Concept Blues Intensive classes are for Blues dancers from Intermediate level who would like to spend three days really intensively honing their technique. An important part is a lot of space for independent practice and personal feedback. Therefore, we recommend that you concentrate entirely on the class and do not take part in special classes or tasters. There is only one Blues Intensive track. The days and topics are listed below.
Focus Technique
Level Intermediate
