thanks so much for sharing videos like this! so helpful for advanced dancers because it is not so foundational, it is short, and requires us to practice to learn more :)

[@SoloJazzPower]

You are very welcome! That's so nice to hear kind words from skilled dancers as well 👏 I agree, these things require some practice even if you already have knowledge 💪

How do you distinguish a blues structure from other structures from the first notes? And thank you for your videos, they help a lot!

[@SoloJazzPower]

It is impossible to know the music structure from the first notes unless you know the tune. You have to listen to it for a bit longer. Let's say it's Swing - after the third eight-count you will feel it that it is it. In Blues, as in this video, you might understand it on the fifth eight-count. Also, most of the time, Swing and Blues structured songs have different flavors. The more you listen, the more you hear it and feel it. Hope it helped.
