Pure Life House of Music in collaboration with Terminus Blues Dance Atlanta brings you a day of music and social dancing featuring Jontavious Willis and lessons with Damon and Kelsy Stone.
Schedule:
- 2:30 PM – 5:30 PM JUKIN’ BLUES DANCE WORKSHOP
WORKSHOP CLASSES:
Jukin’ I: Dance like no one is watching
The blues dances of the rent parties and juke joints are the “down home” dances done when people wanted to let their hair down and didn’t care who was watching. We will cover a number of foundational dance movements that serve as the basics of these dances.
Jukin’ II: Electric Boogaloo
We will learn more funky blues dances and really concentrate on what in the music spurs our movement. Newer dancers will increase their juke joint style-of-dance while more experienced dancers will gain new musicality and improvisation skills. - 5:30 PM – 8:00 PM DINNER BREAK – Catering by Christeen Taylor Catering
- 7:00 – 8:00 DROP-IN CLASS
A TASTE OF BLUES
Damon and Kelsy will cover the basics of a number of different Blues dances giving you a broad vocabulary of moves and styles. No matter what style of Blues music is played you will be on the floor living it up. - 8:00 – 11:00 SOCIAL DANCING WITH JONTAVIOUS WILLIS AND BAND
