3rd Jook Joint Blues Party & Workshop, May 8th
All sights are set on the next event on May 8th when Joseph and Trisha Sewell come to Ampthill for a 4 hour workshop and evening dance.http://www.bluesdance.org.uk/38399.html
We have secured exclusive use of showering and changing facilities at the adjacent sports hall. This should help our workshop guests freshen up before the evening dance, giving them time to join the rest of us in one of Ampthill's many splendid restaurants. http://www.ampthill.org.uk/
Joe and Trish will be transporting us back to the plantations, cotton fields and Jook joints of the 1920's rural Mississippi delta and up the Blues trail to the industrial centres of Chicago and Detroit and their Barrelhouses and Blues clubs. This is the source of their own very unique Blues style. They will draw that wealth of cultural history forward into contemporary expression on today's Blues dance floor. Novice Blues dancers will not find this workshop impossible.http://www.jiveswing.com
To compliment the style of Joe and Trish and to keep the very high standards set by Peter Phillips we have invited DJ Rob McKim "The Jive Jock" to lead another Blues Party that raises the roof. http://www.jive-junction.demon.co.uk/index.html
We have already had our first reservations from as far a way as 200 miles. Is BluesDance just about to break out on to the National Dance Scene? Our teachers are promoting this event at all the National Modern Jive and Swing dance events.
Ampthill is within easy reach of the M1(J12 & J13) and A1 and Flitwick train station

Ticket Only £22.50 for the workshop (12:30-5:00pm), £7.00 for Blues Party (8:00pm-11:45pm) or £25.00 for both. Evening tickets on the door £8.00 (if any left). Numbers will be limited to maintain a relaxed intimate atmosphere of collision free dancing and a near one to one rapport with the teachers and DJ.
