1-2pm - 2nd Floor Hoffner Stage
Instructors Aaron Mabson & Delaan Sumler

Jukin' is simply the style of Blues dance that would take place in a Juke Joint (as opposed to a ballroom), so the dances are possible in smaller spaces. We'll be exploring some nice simple movements that allow people to express there own personal style and also serve as a platform to create variations. We'll Keep it Simple and Smooth (KISS) and focus on partner connection and communication.

This class will be aimed at dancers with experience. That will most commonly be advanced level Lindy Hop or West Coast Swing dancers, but if your wheelhouse is Argentine Tango or Blues or something else, that's ok too. If you feel confident enough to accept a challenge, then jump in!

Cherie & Clay have developed Bourbon Tango - a highly adaptable social tango fusion dance, taking Cuban and Blues dance roots and applying Argentine connection, musicality, and the freedom that comes with a good glass of Bourbon. It’s simplest forms can be danced in the grass or at your favorite concerts.
