Chris Morse began dancing in 2000 in Chicago, where blues and slow, groovy lindy
have strong roots. Chicago's scene, with an infinite supply of live blues and jazz
music, talented instructors and fantastic friends, is where she began her dancing
obsession. Chris now has thousands of hours of dance experience as well as
placements in national blues competitions. Currently she resides in Denver with
her musician husband and continues to explore blues dancing. She hopes this DVD
inspires you to seek out your own style and find a passion for blues dancing,
