Bluesology Teacher Training

27/09/2026

How do time signatures, phrasing and song structure influence the way we dance? And how can understanding them make us better teachers?

In this introduction to music theory, specially designed for blues dance teachers, you will explore rhythm, subdivisions, common musical forms, the “blue note” and more.

Drummer and percussionist, Lorenzo Bergamino, draws on many years of teaching percussion and playing for dancers to make musical concepts clear, accessible and immediately useful.

Deepen your own musical understanding and gain new tools to help your students to connect with the music.
