7pm Lesson, 8-10pm Open Dance; $10 at the door
Absolute Beginners and all ages welcome! Pre-registration not necessary.
Blues dancing is an umbrella term for a family of historical and modern dances done to blues music. Rooted in African movement, blues dance places a high value on improvisation, rhythm, polyrhythm, and solo movements. Most partner dance forms have risen from cultural groups during periods of growth and creativity.
Join us at 7:00 for an hour long lesson on Ballroomi'n blues and learn to dance to artists like Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald and even modern jazz and blues artists.
$10 cover includes the lesson and 2 hour dance afterwards.
No experience or partner required.
The event is BYOB.
If you have questions you can call or text Sarah at 513-503-3300.
Cin-City Swing
Cin-City Swing
Join us on Monday nights at 7pm and learn West Coast Swing (WCS),,a modern version of Swing dancing, done to contemporary and classic Pop, R&B, Funk, and Blues. Pre-registration not necessary.
It's a social dance you do with a partner, BUT you don't need to BYO partner -it's more common to show up solo and switch partners each song.
No experience necessary, just an open mind, a desire to make new friends, and a pair of soft-soled shoes. If you don't have those straight away, dancing in socks works great too!
Class begins at 7pm and we social dance and hang out until about 9:30. Feel free to bring a water bottle and a snack. SOFT SOLE SHOES ONLY
Cost is $15 at the door. Punchcards are available at a discounted rate.
