💙 At the end of a very sweaty Saturday practice, JukeJoint.ninja - Elizabeth Kilrain and Jalen Williams just played around - not working on developing a story during a spotlight, not a specific technique, connection point - just jamming to the 🎶 music 🎶. Whether that was from breakaway all the way to close embrace, we had fun.

📝 But this type of play takes building. Layers of basics built on top of the blues aesthetic, years of listening to all genres of the Blues, building both breadth and depth in the music. And always listening, always learning. Always identifying areas of improvement.
👉🏼 If you're in the San Diego area, you can't get Jalen, sorry, but you can come to classes every Monday night in La Mesa.

📆 It has been 4.5 years since Jocelyn Victoire last danced the blues. From weekly classes with us and regular private lessons till life and work took us in different directions.
Then, out of the blue, Josh arranged a time to drive down (2 hours!) for a private lesson. It took some time, but he's rebuilding the connections in his body, his hands, through the compression of a good hug, the weight of our arms, to communicate in the music.
So grateful for the opportunity to reconnect, both on the floor and in life.
👉🏼 First Monday Blues Lab - open practice first Mondays of the month, 7:30-10pm
