What is blues dancing?
Blues dancing is a collection of dances (such as Ballroomin’, Jukin’, and Drag Blues) that are done to a variety of music – sometimes slow and sensual, sometimes fast and funky, and everything in between. Blues shares a lot of similarities with swing dancing. Both dances value grounded body posture and improvisation between the dancers and the music. The history of the two dances is also intertwined; both dances originated and evolved from vernacular African dances, rhythms, and movements.
