Blues Gent

The dance classes at Apollo Swing are open to people of all ages, backgrounds, and levels of experience. Our instructors are excited to share their passion for jazz dance with anyone willing to listen; our classes are relaxed, inclusive, social, and just a lot of fun! Different styles of dancing and approaches to teaching are celebrated and embraced here at Apollo: swing dances are social dances, defined by improvisation and freedom of expression. Diversity, creativity, and community are at the heart of what jazz dance is all about, and our mission here at Apollo Swing!

Our

Blues level 1 NEW

No prior experience in blues dance is required for this level, though it is allowed. If you have already attended workshops or festivals, you are certainly welcome. We will dive deeper into the basic movements and expand your dance vocabulary by exploring a wide variety of genres, rhythms, and tempos. You do not need to bring a partner, and everyone will have the opportunity to dance both as a lead and as a follow. We work on both solo movement and partner dancing. Because blues dancing often involves a close, body-based connection (body-to-body contact), we ensure clear consent between partners. Everyone always has the right to refuse a dance, and that right must be fully respected.
