## FOCUS 
- This lesson introduces Delta Blues music, its historical context and characteristics, and explains how to dance to it in a grounded, intimate, and non-performative way.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Dance in a very grounded way to feel connection with the ground.
- Find intimacy with your own movement rather than being performative.
- Connect with yourself and feel everything in the body during movement.

##REMEMBER
- Delta Blues originated in the early 1900s in the Mississippi Delta as an intimate, self-expressive music.
- The music was a tool for self-awareness and community expression among African-Americans.
- Dancing to Delta Blues should focus on personal space and freedom of thought, not performance.
