Blues Dance

The man's friends were performing at Mel's Place last night.  While I enjoy blues music, I am after all, not a musician. I don't get the nuances (what reverberation?). I was contented with tapping my foot - for a while. 

So after that little while, I had to ask the bluesman, "So do people dance to blues?" Of course, he said. But he refused to show me how people dance to blues. So I had to look up YouTube.



So this is blues dance! That explains why the man refused to demo.  :)

I wonder why the blues music joint here don't promote the dance. It looks like fun. Besides, where the ladies go, the men will follow, no?

edp junkie - I agree. It looks even much closer than argentine tango. Except that I don't think I'll get the man to learn any dance.

sinlady - agree that it doesn't look like something you pick up just like that. Probably need a good feel for the music to begin with.

Suzie Wong - maybe you just need to give it a try!
