**What is blues dancing?**
Blues dances are a family of Black American vernacular dances danced to blues music; dances within this family are linked by shared aesthetics and techniques rooted in Black American traditions and historical context. For more information:

Less thank two weeks to go!

Mike Murphy 's addiction with blues began in 2014 and has led him all over Europe in a thirst to learn more. He founded a blues scene in Cork, where he has taught locally over the last 10 years. On the international side, he has done a bit of everything – teacher, DJ, festival organiser. Whilst he has reached competition finals, he enjoys social dancing over competing or performance.

On the dancefloor, Mike believes that meaningful connection is a must: - the best dances are those in which both synchronisation as a couple, and individual expression, can co-exist in harmony. He values partners who bring creativity, fun and their own personal style to the partnership.

With a qualification in education as a base, he also regularly attends dance teacher trainings. Mike prefers a relaxed, fun and encouraging teaching environment, where everyone can learn at their own pace. A believer that visualisations help to embed an idea, expect a few silly but fun elements in his classes.
