Warm up class (Studio Diabolo): revision of the basic steps and moves, the different kinds of connexion, the "spirit" of Blues dancing with Marc and Léa (local dancers): the starter kit to enjoy parties and meet the other dancers of the workshop.

The workshop (Ecole Kim Kan):  A program where technique and communication in the couple will boost your ease and complicity!
5 hours of traditional Blues with Agnieszka and Konrad, Carla and Rodrigo. Connection, exchange in the dance couple, lag and technique will be on the program. Something to vary your basics, enrich your dance, and your expression, whatever your level!

For the classes, 2 groups will be formed, and each group will dance with all our teachers. These groups will be established so that you fit in yours as well as possible according to your "cruising speed". You will receive at the end of March, the group in which you will dance.

For the classes, we ask everyone to choose a leader or follower role, and to keep this role during the courses. For parties, if you want to switch, no problem:-)

Saturday April 1rst, from 22:30, we will have the pleasure to welcome back Nasser Ben Dadoo and Matthieu Tomi!

For the Good Fellow Blues Paris 2022, The Hatman Session Duo (Nasser Ben Dadoo on guitar/vocals and Matthieu Mori on double bass) had delighted us. We are so glad to have them back ! Nasser spent his childhood in Marseille near a blues club. It doesn't take much more for him to fall into the Blues cauldron. He grows up, grabs a guitar, grows the voice and starts playing the music of his heroes. From Robert Johnson to Muddy Waters, from Bukka White to John Lee Hooker. He sings the many facets of the genre from "Delta" to "Jump" through "Chicago" Blues. After having played with some of the big names, he decided to fly on his own. He formed The Hatman Session, a band with variable geometry. For us, with Matthieu Tomi on double bass, the Hatman Session Duo will explore gems left by the masters of the genre but also more confidential authors.

Behind each sound and each pulse of our duo, the blues emerges. Like an evidence. If its music carries the torments of Mississippi, it also breathes African 6/8 rhythms. Nasser goes back to the inexhaustible source of the blues, honoring its tutelary figures and transforming, with his rocky voice, melancholy into a vibrant celebration of life.
