SWOUZY BLUES
SwouZy Blues is a Swing Dance Fusion Social Event intended to diversify and expand the music to which we dance and the dancing styles of the TriState (Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky) Regional Swing Dance Community. The event features instructional classes, social dancing and general camaraderie. The name comes from the the four foundational music genres for the event: Swing (Sw), Soul (ou), Zydeco (Zy), and, of course, Blues!

WHAT is Zydeco? You ask.
Here is a playlist (17 videos - all but 1 less than 10 minutes) I gathered on YouTube to help answer that question. The first video is the most informative. I highly recommend.
