🎶What is Blues Dancing🎶
Blues dancing is a dance style deeply rooted in blues music and Black American history, starting in late 1800s along side regional blues music. It encompasses various styles, often characterized by its improvisational nature, close connection with a partner or solo, and expressive movements that mirror the emotions of the blues.

Blues dancing focuses on rhythm, musicality, and connection, allowing dancers to interpret and respond to the music in a personal and emotive way.
