No joke, Kick Butt Blues is now every Friday
Starting
in April, Kick Butt Blues will now be held every Friday. No need to
wonder if we are having the dance this week; we are.
Along
with those changes, we have worked with the owner of Kick Butt Coffee
on a plan that will allow us to bring in more live bands. Plus we are
going to be bringing you more opportunities to improve your dancing
through workshops. We will update you as details become available.

Special Workshop Weekend with live band, two dances, and Lucky Skillen from NYC
Kick Butt Blues presents
Spring For Blues
Friday April 24 - Saturday April 25
http://www.campbellandchris.com/workshops.html for more details
Join
us for a special blues weekend! We're bringing in the fabulous Lucky
Skillen from New York City for a great day of classes, a live band on
Friday night, and our favorite DJs for Saturday night!
Lucky
Skillen has been swing dancing since 1996 and teaching since 1998.
Since that time he has taught and performed a wide variety of dances in
Asia, Europe, and North America. He has also had the privilege of
working with such people as Neil Young, Kevin Bacon, Kyra Sedgwick,
Katy Holms, and Frankie Manning. Lucky teaches a wide variety of
classes. In these classes he creates a fun and playful environment. He
believes that play is learning and learning is fun. Lucky offers a
unique insight into technique, connection and the use of momentum due
to the many forms of dance he has studied. Most of Lucky's classes are
concept based. They consist of a short choreography to illustrate
several different movements. He then leads the students to discover the
concepts behind the movements to make them work. Lucky believes in a
path of self discovery in dance. He would like for all of his students
to become their own teachers and find their own truths in dance.
