Next Level Blues

In this series, we are going further than ever before in the What the Blues teaching offerings, diving into the subtleties and complexities of blues fundamentals, as well as learning more technically-challenging idioms. Come along and practice expressing and holding multiple pulses in different parts of the body, explore how to both literally and figuratively shape your dance to reflect and complement the music, and continue your journey to understanding Blues culture and how it influences us and the form.

This series is geared towards intermediate/advanced blues dancers. Beginner/elementary blues dancers may join, if you're willing to be in a high-paced learning environment with complex topics. Those with no dance experience should check out other learning opportunities around the city!

Lead Instructor

Robin Chow

He / Him

Being a dancer who started later in life, and owing much to the discovery a hip hop tutorial video at the back of a You Got Served DVD, Robin truly believes that dance is inside every one of us. Whether it's a fully realized passion, or a whisper of curiosity, he feels that dance should always be available to our selves, whatever one's dance experience or familiarity. His dance repertoire is based on solo movement learned from a studio hip hop background, with the journey into social dancing starting with lindy hop, and over time including blues, balboa & fusion. And ever since his introduction to blues dancing in 2018, he has become a passionate practitioner and advocate of the form, and is dedicated to a continued journey of learning and sharing of blues dance and culture.
