elcome to dance.ruby-red, the home of
Chicago dancer, Ruby Forsmann. Here you can find out more about my dance
history, my teaching (and learning) philosophy, and where I'll be teaching
and dancing in the coming months.
I've returned to Chicago from a winter of teaching in San Francisco, New York, Denver, the UK and beyond. Class listings for Chicago workshops will be posted soon. In the meantime, you can book me for private lessons or see where I'm teaching next by peeking at my schedule.
New videos are up from the last year of teaching and competing. Check 'em out!
If you're looking for a Chicago Blues event, visit Bluetopia, Chicago's biggest and best Blues dance event. You can usually catch Ruby and a guest instructor teaching the Blues class from 8-9pm. We have a rotating cast of local and regional guest DJs every month. Also, be sure to check out Code BLUE, every second Friday of the month.
