In partnership with Greenville SC Fusion, RDU Blues, and the local community, we plan to keep you dancing all weekend long!
This year we will also be offering a Close Embrace Blues Intensive Workshop to help you take your dance to the next level. Our lessons will draw techniques from a variety of Blues Dance genres to give techniques that can either elevate your Blues Dance skills or add to your Fusion tool kit! The social dance will also rotate music between a variety of Blues genres and Fusion tunes.
