⫸ How blue can you get? ⫷ Hosted by Andreia Fernandes
Did you know that blues music is related with overcoming the sadness of the hard days? I believe that this pandemic is the perfect time for blues dancing so I'll be hosting a streaming blues dance party.
“Blues dancing” emerged as a social dance done by African American people in their homes, clubs, churches and ballrooms since the late 1800’s. It started with people gathering at Juke Joints or House Rent Parties to have some fun while celebrating the end of a very tiring work week. It has been done in non-black spaces since the 1990s. Rooted in African movement, blues dance places a high value on improvisation, rhythm and specially on "feeling" and "connecting" with its historical background.
