	Blues (dance move) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Blues dancing, properly speaking is a term that covers an entire genre of aestheticaly, culturally and musically connected dances.
		However, Blues dancing was never widely practiced as a "social" or performance dance in the United States outside of the Black communities; so it developed and thrived in smoky juke joints and at Blues house parties, giving it a more intimate feel.
		In addition, Blues dance is strongly tied to Blues music, and many aspects of Blues dance (for example, call and response, emotional intensity, and tension and release) are directly related to the music to which it is danced.

	The Dark Side
		There is that aspect in the dance to some degree, but it is not the main drive behind the dance, or at least it should not be.
		Blues dancers also seem more open to experimentation within the dance, and seem a bit more forgiving of errors in the execution of the moves than I have seen in many dancers in the Lindy Hop scene.
		Another reason that I like blues dancing, and one that might be familiar to people who also like to blues dance, is the simply sociological aspects of physical touch.
