Blues: The Workship

We are very excited to present a weekend of blues instruction from two of the most accomplished and recognized faces in the dancing arena, Joe and Nelle.

Joe and Nelle draw from their extensive knowledge of vintage dances to create a fresh perspective on the blues. This workshop will help you diversify your dancing - from basic blues skills and movement, to drag blues and solo styling, Joe and Nelle will help you feel confident in your ability to dance to any song with any partner.

Show-Me Blues 2010

Welcome back to Show-Me Blues!
St. Louis welcomes you to the birthplace of the blues exchange and the second year of Show-Me Blues. We will be serving up a variety of blues. From the Delta to Chicago, New York to San Francisco, St. Louis has historically been a confluence of musical styles and cultural traditions and that.s just what you.ll get. We focus on the merging of the song and the dance, the musician and the dancer, without the competitions or classes. Join us for a great weekend with good friends and down home hospitality.

Our weekend starts early with a trip to St. Louis. blues clubs for a bar crawl and some great local talent. Friday takes you to historic Soulard for some more live bands! Saturday begins with an optional trip to the City Museum, an exchange favorite. The evening brings you the best our DJs have to offer as they battle each other for the title of .Best DJ of SMB .10. and then culminates with dancing to the sun rising over the St. Louis Skyline.

Sunday will blow you away as we take to you to the Jive and Wail. Built for great acoustics, this piano bar takes Kim Massie and the Solid Senders to a whole new level of amazing. It was the talk of last year.s exchange and is defiantly worth staying for. We wrap things up dancing until we drop at Focal Point and maybe grabbing a bite to eat at the local diner before heading home or just maybe you.ll be calling St. Louis your new home.
