+The Progressive Classes - beg/int

                   Note:  The title of this class series means just what it says.  It is a progressive class                                 series that will be taught over the three days of the workshop.  Meaning, you can't just                        decide to drop in on "Blues 3" on the last day; you have to already have taken "Blues 1"                      and "Blues 2"                                                                                                                 These classes are going to cover blues movement, styling, and syncopations.
