What is Blues dancing?
Blues Dance is composed of various African American dances that evolved alongside blues music in America. These dances share traits such as being grounded and rhythmic, similar to other African American dance styles like Lindy Hop.
Here are videos of international instructors Adamo and Vicci dancing in two different blues dance aesthetics:
