Please note that the Friday Blues Dances are not run by Bees’ Knees Dance.
They’re run by our good friends, the organizers of Yonge & Bloor Blues, which is a grassroots monthly blues dance movement in Toronto.
For more information and schedules, check them out online at torontobluesdance.com or at facebook.com/torontoblues.
What is blues dancing? Well dlues dancing in partnered dance communities today range from traditional african based movements to much less historically grounded forms. The dance is based on principles of partner connection, aesthetics and approaches to rhythm and timing. Major influences for modern day blues dancing have come mainly from lindy hop, west coast swing, and tango and majority of swing dance scenes around the world also have a blues dance community associated with it. Jazz was born from the blues.
