Not long now, but the surprises aren't over yet 😎

​On Thursday the 27th, before the party, there will be a fantastic taster class with two truly top-notch teachers. And today, we're introducing them to you!

👉Dongsheng fell in love with blues dance in a Shanghai Blues bar and hasn't looked back since. For him, blues is more than movement — it's culture, history, and human connection.
As a guest of this tradition, he weaves its stories and roots into everything he teaches. His classes blend music, history, and movement into one experience, delivered with insight, warmth, and plenty of humor.
👉Sofia has spent years immersed in the world of music and dance, exploring it from every angle — as a teacher, competitor, DJ, musician, and event organiser. In her classes, she goes beyond steps and sequences to focus on the foundations: natural body movement, rhythm, and musicality. Her approach nurtures independence and creativity, empowering students to express themselves authentically on the dance floor.
Together they bring a dynamic atmosphere into the classroom that gets your feet tapping, your head nodding, and your body shaking.

🙂 MEET THE MUSICIAN

Francesca English, born in New York to a Jamaican father and an Italian mother, has lived in Turin since the age of three.

In 2010, she began her recording career, which led her to release records and perform throughout Italy. She learned the trade through valuable experiences, but also by confronting the superficiality of the music industry. For this reason, she refused to take part in talent shows and, in 2020, chose to step away from the path she had been following in order to explore new directions in complete freedom.

In search of a more human-centered approach to music—one that respects the natural essence of art—she no longer produces records or releases music on Spotify. Instead, she devotes herself entirely to live performance.

From bars to theaters, Black vocal cords guided by an Italian heart.

🙂 MEET THE MUSICIANS

The sons of British bluesman Kit, the Newton brothers have been passionate about music from an early age. In 1999, they formed their first project, Pacific Blues Band, in which they performed alongside their father. The group later became The Newton Family.

No technical exhibitionism, though they could afford it; rather, a repertoire offered by those who have lived with it all their lives to those who, by listening, choose to indulge in it.

Blues as it should be: not physiological, but suffered, sincerely felt, loved, and hoped for; rich in its contaminations.

Tom Newton - harmonica & vocals
Ben Newton - guitar & percussion
