Come to the blues and feel your body move. Through conscious bodywork, you will find an authentic connection to the music, the space, and above all, to yourself.

Start the All That Blues Festival full of energy... We immerse ourselves in the diversity of the blues and learn to respond to each other, feel the music together, and experience dance as a living dialogue. We draw inspiration from classic moves to feel the expression of the blues even more authentically—based on slow drag, the music of big bands and smaller combos that flowed through Harlem with their energy.

That's why we are very happy to now offer it at the All that Blues Festival as well. The focus is on strengthening both our outer and inner core. The classes are designed to encourage us to fully develop our strength and potential—in dance as well as in everyday life. The connection to ourselves and to the people around us opens up a particularly powerful source of energy. Be there!

Special Class 2
Aware Me, Connected We
1h with Käthe
This workshop focusses on your body and the awareness of it during the dance. As we all know Lindy and especially Blues can be such close dances that there is a tendency to “loose” the awareness of our own body….How can we mingle with another while having awareness of what our body is telling us? Wouldn’t it be great to be capable to be in the I and in the WE at the same time? Not always easy but there are tools to learn that. Were gonna dive into the field of Dance Movement Therapy and you`re gonna go home with tangible exercises that you can use and keep using. For all Level!

"Confusion in Dance"
1h with Käthe
Special Class 3
"Confusion in Dance"
1h with Käthe
We train and entertain our muscles of perspective - sometimes we are well aware of our bodies, our needs and boundaries. We connect easily and feel playful. But what if we don’t really find our rhythms, our flow and adapt much to much to the needs of the outer world? The bad news? - it sucks and it happens to all of us! The good news? 📰 We can all train and practice to be aware and to collect some fun tools on how to get back on track again. In this workshop we’ll experience what perspective of our eyes can do, we’ll play with chaos and figure out what happens if we own our insecurities in body and dance proudly! For all Level
Sunday
Special Class 4
"Moving all the Time"
1h with Joris
Special Class 4

Slow down. Ground. Breath through your soul. This session is designed to deepen your connection to your most treasured inner self. We will move in a meditative, trance-like state - something I am sure you know from magically late night blues dances - and we will retreat into stillness to further explore our colourful inner life and receive a gift. You might find surprises here as well as deep relaxation.
