Enter the Blues presents: Enter the Blues 4, May 21-23, 2010
Rachel Stirling
Rachel got her first taste of blues dancing at a late night party in 2003. She was immediately drawn in by the impassioned music and sensual movement. She loved (and still does!) to swing dance, but she found this dance had a more intimate connection to one's partner and the music; it encouraged improvisation and playfulness. She was hooked. Since 2005, she's been dedicated to promoting blues dancing in the DC area and beyond and helping run Capital Blues events (Cabin Fever, Jammin' the Blues, Red Hot Blues 'n BBQ, bamBLOOZled, and a weekly Thursday night dance). Rachel loves to share her joy of blues dancing with anyone who'll let her. In her classes, she focuses on quality of movement and connection with one's partner and the music. And thanks to a degree in education, she has a knack for breaking things down and explaining them in a variety of ways so that everyone can understand.
