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.
Blues is about tradition and personal expression. At its core, the blues has remained the same since its inception. Most blues feature simple, usually three-chord, progressions and have simple structures that are open to endless improvisations, both lyrical and musical. The blues grew out of African spirituals and worksongs.
