How Slow Can You Go?

Some of the most creative, expressive, and satisfying moments in blues dancing come from the concept of lag. In this workshop, we’ll explore what it means to lag behind the beat, create stretch and connection in partnership, and move with comfort and intention while dancing to slower blues music.

Whether you’re looking to deepen your musicality, improve your connection, or simply feel more at home in slower songs, this class will give you practical tools and plenty of time to play.

? Who is Cynthia?

Cynthia has been an active member of the blues dance community since 2016 as an instructor, DJ, and organizer. She has helped build and support multiple blues scenes, most recently in Pittsburgh, PA.

She has taught at regional workshops as well as national events, including Steel City Blues and Blues Muse. Cynthia’s teaching blends historical context with modern perspectives, helping dancers build a deeper connection to both the dance and the community that surrounds it.

? Who is Brandy?

Brandy has been blues dancing for over ten years, developing a style that is grounded, playful, and deeply connected to the music. She loves exploring rhythm, connection, and the kind of movement that makes a dance feel like a genuine conversation between partners.

As both a dancer and DJ, Brandy brings a strong sense of timing and texture to her dancing. While she has earned success in competition, her favorite moments happen on the social floor—when the music is just right, the connection is flowing, and the stank face appears before she even realizes it.
