Rose City Blues 2018 Strictly Finals
The Strictly Blues finals at Rose City Blues 2018, a well-known blues dance event. Blues dancing emphasises slow, grounded connection and responsiveness to the music, with plenty of space for improvisation and stillness. Watch the connection between partners, the use of pauses and the emotional character of the music. A good example of the genre as competitors approach it. Blues is typically danced much closer and slower than Lindy Hop, so it is a good reference for anyone interested in connection and stillness as skills.
