THE BAND:  Get ready to dance to the sensational sounds of singer, Julie Black, and the Angel for Blues band!  This band kicks butt and plays a nice mix of tempos from slow to fast, which means you'll be able to Blues, West-Coast, Lindy, Swing, etc....  Since this is a Blues Dance, expect a lot of fine blues grooves!

THE PARTY:  This is Tampa Bay's first-ever Blues Dance Party NOT held at someone's house or at a bar... so the focus will be on great live music & dancing!  This will also be Dan Rosenthal's final going-away party before he heads out to Philly the next day, so don't miss it!  We've lined up the area's finest blues band to play for the evening, plus DJ Will will spin between band sets and late into the night.  The Pinellas Park Auditorium provides great dance floor, stage, and ambiance for the party!

THE WORKSHOP:  Blues Dance instructor, Dan Rosenthal, has traveled all over studying and dancing the blues, teaching, and winning competitions.  He shares his expertise in this fun 2-hour workshop that offers something for all levels of dancers.  No partner is needed.  The workshop consists of two 1-hr classes as follows:

Class 1: Sunday School: Jukin', Ballroomin', and the Basics...  So you've never done Blues?  Perfect!  You're a veteran Blues dancer?  Swell!  This 1-hour class will take you quickly through the basics and give you an overview of Blues styles to dance to pretty much any song.  We'll talk about connection, musicality, and creating a groove, as well as some advanced concepts.

Class 2: Cool Moves, Slow Drag, and Solo Vocab...  This class presents a buffet of cool moves to play with while working on connection and musicality.  No move will be too complicated for a beginner, but each move will also allow more skilled dancers to work on advanced concepts.  Each move or pattern taught will highlight a specific area of connection or musicality; solo movement will give both leaders and followers a chance to shine.
