Blues dancing is the slow dance done by Lindy Hoppers, it’s slower, fluid and highly rhythmic with expressive body movements.

Like the film Dirty Dancing, Blues is an 'after-hours' dance, often misunderstood as sexual or 'sleazy', in realty, Blues is about experiencing the full range of human emotion - love, passion, joy, sadness, pain.
There's no limit to the emotions this music can evoke in us, the real beauty of Blues is its focus on connection whether you're dancing with a partner or on your own, likewise no limit to where Blues can take you in your dancing!
