Blues Kitchen

                          Every Wednesday Night Starting August 12^th

LA’s only weekly blues venue and LA’s only Blues instructors are making Nadia’s Rhythm Room their home!  Tim and Whitton will bring you the Blues every week for two hours of lessons and one hour of practice.  They began teaching Blues together in 2008 as a way to expand and enrich the Los Angeles Blues scene.  Their teaching philosophy is that there is no “right” but there are some better ways to have more fun.  Every class has a theme and specific goals to create a clear and effective dialogue with students.  Students consistently say that Whitton and Tim create a great learning environment, bring lots of energy, make the class fun, and also have superb technical knowledge of the dance.

What is Blues?

Blues is a uniquely American dance form created in the juke joints and rent parties of the South.  It has migrated and evolved all over the US to create one of the most diverse and intimate of the improvisational partner dances.  It is known for its intimate embrace, good technical foundations, grounded feel, and huge musical range.  It’s also really easy to learn!
