If blues is all about 'feeling', 'emotional content' and an 'inner connection', then how can showing someone externally be any better or worse than using words? Most of "blues" should be in your head/heart; can't words sometimes touch these places better than visuals?

If it's written, it can be reffered to at your own pace, looked on when-ever / where-ever, laughed at, scorned, praised or simply ignored if it's not for you. Not so easy to do these things at a 'live' workshop. (It also may feed interest for future 'live' workshops, where stuff may just 'click' easier)

I think an "online workshop" has value. (Or will have ) - If only one person gets something from it, even if it's just a spark of a few neurons, it will have value for me and be worth spending time on.


{...but this thread is about "sensual dancing", not "blues" }
