This was the first time Microwave Dave and the Nukes have played an HSDS event and there is absolutely no way it will be the last! The dance was the absolutely perfect mix of dancers, costumes, blues, Microwave Dave, energy, and Flying Monkey.
We had a TON of people out including a huge number for the lesson. Huy and Briana gave an excellent blues lesson covering almost every genre of blues dance, all in an hour!
As part of the Blues Masquerade with Microwave Dave, we'll be having a blues dance competition! This is for beginners and intermediates. We'll announce a specific format for it in the coming days (probably by Thursday), but we wanted to let you know! If you have ever danced any blues we highly encourage you to take part! To help give you the motivation, we'll be giving away blues Albums to the winners so they can keep their blues moving after the dance stops! Check back at the Event Page for details and we'll see you at the dance!
