With so many different styles of Blues Music, there are also many different styles of Blues Dance.

The swing dance revival in the 1980s-1990s brought on the desire to resurrect and research the roots of the swing-era dances to give dancers a full understanding of the dance. The same is true to for the blues dancers. Just like are several forms of swing dance, there are several forms of blues dance. The biggest difference stems from the type of music being played. Fast, slow, upbeat, sad, happy and sassy.

While maintaining its aesthetic of its own throughout the history of African dances in America, Blues dance has been researched and also gained interest across the U.S. and the world.
