Take My Hand Blues is an effort to find the heart of blues dancing by exploring adjacent communities, adjacent dance, and a little of the core. Our first event, Gospel Blues in a Church will start with a live Jazz concert, then urban dance classes that draw on inheritances from Blues. The Saturday will see gospel blues classes from world renowned Blues dance teachers Damon and Kelsy Stone, Adam and Krystal Wilkerson, Grey Armstrong Ruffin, Dom Hanna, Amos Rose, and Jordie Ashely followed by a talk and then a dance with Memphis Gold. Sunday will see Memphis Gold play the morning service, then we have classes on DC Hand Dancing, a pre-swing revival living swing dance, followed by a DJ’d hand dance. We finish out the weekend departing the church for a club, grooving out to the tunes of Sam “The Man” Burns, an early House DJ and DC institution.
