Videos, as promised! We started practice Monday with a whole lot of solo work, stressing the importance of pulse, grounded posture, and hip movement in the blues aesthetic. Here are two videos that may be good resources when you practice on your own. The first video is very close to what we worked on, and we covered most of it. The movements (and a whole lot more) are also covered in the second video. Note the differences of these movements as well. For example, in the Jazz Steps video, the boogie forward is more focused on knee and leg movement, but in the blues video its much more of a hip grind. Neither is wrong. Different dances (e.g. lindy hop vs blues) may emphasize different elements of movements as appropriate for the values and ideals of that dances history/culture/aesthetic/idiom.
