Inspirational Music! Blues clubs are alive and buzzing all over Chicago. We savor the dynamic interaction between musicians and dancers. Now sit back and imagine three delicious nights of live Chicago Blues. . . mmmm . . .tasty!
Inspirational Teachers! The most inspired, the most fun, the most dedicated Blues instructors in the country, giving their all to inspire their students – this is what bluesSHOUT! does every year. This year classes will start later in the day so you have more energy for social or competitive dancing at night.
Inspirational Dancing! The best Blues dancers in the country put bluesSHOUT! at the top of their "To-Do" list, and for good reason – the best instructors, the best social dancers, the best music and the most amazing performances inspire everyone to dance their best. Prelims and classes are during the day, so at night you'll be able to dance yourself silly and then watch some jaw-dropping contests and performances while you catch your breath at breaks.
Inspirational Contests and Performances! This is your turn to share your inspiration with all your fellow Blues dancers. Work it, strut it, and shake that thang! Or if competing is not your style, take a breather, sit back and watch your friends try their hardest to school each other in the Blues.
Get Inspired!
