An Introduction to Blues Dancing - Part I

Back by popular demand! This is the first in a series of Blues Dance workshops with Lewis in Cork. https://www.lewisbarfoot.com/bluesdancecork

• No experience necessary (But those with experience will benefit from the class too)
• No partner required
• No need to sign up as a couple - we will be working on fundamentals and swapping roles
• Bring your full water bottle.
• You can work barefoot in the space or please bring a clean 2nd pair of indoor shoes (not heels) to dance with and leave your street shoes outside of the studio.

HOW TO GET TO THE STUDIO

• Collective Cork is a yoga studio inside the Triskel Arts Centre on Tobin Street.
• The entrance is down a back alleyway. If the main door to Triskel is closed you can enter through the GREY side door ( in between the triskel entrance and the Paper Boys cafe)
• Go to the top of the stairs ( follow signs for COLLECTIVE CORK)
• Toilets are on the ground floor by reception and on the first floor
• The yoga studio is on the 2nd floor
• Parking in the city is free on a Sunday, but you will not be able to park too close to the studio, so try up by Barrack Street or by Popes Quay. Or your usual spots.

AND FINALLY

• Blues partnered dancing is often danced in a close embrace so please make sure you are clean. That may be a bit obvious to say, but seriously there is nothing worse than dancing close with someone who ate mackeral for lunch or who has smelly hair or armpits. Take care of your fellow dancers my friends xxx
