M.II.B: Mystic Blues II, 16-18 May 2008, Planet Earth

 

Mystic Blues IIFrom the far reaches of the galaxy they come.... and they come for Blues! Mystic Blues II returns on the weekend of 16 - 18 May 2008 with two tracks of workshops, beginner and intermediate/advanced, with teachers Greg Avakain, Laurie Zimmerman, Ogden Sawyer and Amanda Gruhl. Two nights of live bands, J-Street and The Little Big Band,  followed by out of this world DJs. The fun doesn't stop there as each dance will phase into a Blues Late Night with the usual space riff raff. This kind of weekend comes but once in a blue moon so do not miss out!

16 Hours of Workshops over Two Days: Shoreline Swing invites you to take workshops with national instructors as they cover beginner and intermediate/advanced blues! Learn the basics, find your hips, and start styling! For all levels of dancers! (Each track will have four classes/day) For more details head to the official website at www.gargleblasterblues.com/mysticblues2
