"[Kofi Annan] loves to dance, and he does so with the sort of undemonstrative panache that draws one's attention as if by seeking to deflect it - through finesse and understatement, expressing warmth while manifesting cool." --Philip Gourevitch, author

Level 3/4 drop-in 8:30-10pm at the Back Room Studio
If you missed Dexter's solo blues class at Down Home Blues Festival last month, this is your chance to take it. Learn some of Dexter's favorite solo dance moves with influences from Earl “Snakehips” Tucker to Michael Jackson as choreographed to a blues song. The class will start with learning choreography and the remainder will be spent creating your own. We’ll incorporate concepts such as “call and response” as well as “riffing.” There are no lead or follow roles in this class, so everyone is encouraged to join and tap into their inner performer!
