It’s not very often you get two (2!) nationally-respected blues dance instructors in the same room at your regular weekly dance, but here we are.
On Thursday, December 1, Mike Legenthal and Dan Repsch will be teaching the beginner lesson and sharing the DJ booth at Back Room Blues. This is a rare opportunity to learn from the greats for just $8, our regular weekly price. Happy holidays.
Star blues dance instructor Dan Repsch is coming to D.C. (well, to the Alma Dance Studio in Rockville) on Sunday, Nov. 20, and you’re invited.
Dan is offering two very cool classes on one day: Flowing Jazz Momentum and Texturing Isolations. Check out the Workshops page for more info.
As usual, Thursday dances continue in the Back Room at Glen Echo. All’s right with the world.
It’s a good time to dance blues. We’ve returned to our usual weekly schedule: dances every Thursday night at Glen Echo Park. And we’re thrilled to be offering our first workshop series in over two years: an all-levels class on blues connection.
Important location note: for three weeks in October, dances will happen in the Bumper Car Pavilion, right across from the Back Room at Glen Echo. See the weekly dances page for directions. The Bumper Car Pavilion is outdoors, so dress for the weather.
October dance locations:
Oct. 6 – Back Room
Oct. 13 – Bumper Car Pavilion
Oct. 20 – Bumper Car Pavilion
Oct. 27 – Bumper Car Pavilion
In November we’ll be back in the Back Room again. Dance with you soon!
It’s time to learn and respect the many different predecessors to the blues dance we do today. By learning the dances like the Boogie, Mooche, Piedmont triple, Savoy walk and the Texas shuffle (there are many more!), you will add variety and inspiration to your dancing. All levels are invited to this class.
Thursdays January 9th – 30th, 8pm-9pm. Classes will be held in Arcade Building Room 304. (It’s the building with the POPCORN sign; just take the elevator up to the top floor.)
