Blues Rhythms: Expand (or learn for the first time) your base of Blues rhythms to shine — with any partner, any song, any style!
Ballroomin’ Blues I : Essential Skills
Out from the classic 1940s center of Lindy Hop, the Savoy Ballroom, came a Blues that is smooth, graceful, and flowy. This is your chance to learn a style which is highly expressive, and extremely popular.
Ballroomin’ Blues II : How to Impress
Command the floor and step boldly – we accelerate into high-gear with effortless-looking transitions in & out of moves that make the dance sizzle!

When Balboa was cool in California, Sunset Shuffle was cool in Dallas Texas! It’s fast.. It swings. It feels soft as velvet. Plus, it mixes well into Lindy Hop and Balboa. With your partner pressed close, you’ll be spinning and sliding easily around the dance floor to the fastest songs!

About Jered Morin:
From numerous TV appearances, performing in major symphony halls, and a busy travel schedule, Jered Morin is an international figure in Blues and other Afro-American dances.
With almost two decades of training, performing, and judging competitions, you can find him the majority of the year traveling around the globe.
His work as a Choreographer has also been presented before Frankie Manning, at dance competitions, and on theatre stages with large acclaim.
It is through his extensive study of the history, culture, and body movement, that he shares with his students how to create something expressive and – even more so – impressive on the dance floor.
In the classroom, both Leaders and Followers find an equal focus on what they can bring to their dancing to truly capture the Afro-American spirit and joy.
From breaking down powerful technique, to coaxing out your personal style, students find that being in a class with Jered brings them to a higher level.
