Barclay Blues

The Barclay Blues is a classic sequence that embodies the essence of the New Vogue style. With some true figures like the feather and the three step this dance has an unadulterated foxtrot feeling. Yet, the addition of twinkles, and the changes and separations of hold that are synonymous with New Vogue, the Barclay Blues is a joy to dance or to watch. The Barclay Blues is a fantastic advanced level dance for those looking for a good balance between technique, style, and creativity.
