It's hard to define blues. On a literal angle, it's the dance you do to blues music, generally involving lots of improvisation, closeness, and hip movements. While swing and blues have basics, frames, and moves... blues doesn't.
The blues evolved from hymns, work songs, and field hollers â music used to accompany spiritual, work and social functions. Blues is the foundation of jazz as well as the prime source of rhythm and blues, rock 'n' roll, and country music. The blues is still evolving and is still widely played today.
