Wrapping up the Blues Intensive in Brașov, bringing together into a jam circle impro the elements we worked with during the 4 hours: basic Blues steps, qualities of Blues movement — smooth, grounded, angular, staccato, pulse; and then working with inserting blues islands in lindy hop using soft redirection and slow shared initiative ✨

We found tenderness and enthusiasm home in Brașov ❤️ Hugs to hosts .marcu.16 , and ✨ Photos of cakes and sunny Brașov soon 😁

So we wrapped up half a year of a solo blues pilot group with this choreo we prepared for about 2 months ✨ We continue the blues journey in September but until then, some thoughts:

Starting to think about choreos as scaffolds for better seeing people — there are so many layers of information that each person brings if the movement frame allows it: it is always so beautiful to witness how one embraces a move and unfolds within it: how a breath, a hand gesture, an unexpected sharp chest accent transform the so called “known” move into something new.

And Blues is such a good season for the steady discovering of parts within oneself ✨

The private hugs, thanks and cheesy declarations happened already but for our other kindred spirits here, a short round of public appreciation:

Thank you to the beautiful Blues Birds for your trust, courage, openess, consistency, poise, laughter, cakes and talks! ❤️
