About Us
We strive to be about kindness. This is a not-for-profit, volunteer-led event that exists to make lives more connected and to allow people to put down our burdens and share joy.
- Lessons are 7:30-8:30 p.m., open social dance from 8:30-10 p.m. or later.
- Admission is sliding scale, pay what you can, $5-$20. We're cash only but accept IOUs.
- Lessons are intended to be beginner-friendly though many of them are layered for multiple skill levels.
- No partner or experience required, all ages welcome, queer friendly
- Most of the time we're doing blues dance with a bit of fusion, on the fourth Tuesday each month, we do fusion dance with a bit of blues.
- We require masks at our indoor events. Full overview of our pandemic response.
- We recommend you bring a reusable water bottle and comfortable safe dancing shoes. Good shoes for blues will be slippery enough to allow you to spin in place while being grabby enough to make sure you have secure footing. Most people choose to wear flat shoes, though sometimes people who have trained in other forms of dance, such as tango, wear shoes with taller heels. Dancing in socks is also fine.
- Occasionally we cancel a dance for a blizzard, holiday, or other reasons, and sometimes we move the dance outdoors. We usually use Facebook to communicate about these things, so please like our page and join our group if you're there.
- Please do not bring alcoholic beverages; we are an all-ages event (plus our venue forbids them).
- Please don't wear heavy scents and perfumes, they give some people migraines.
- We have an opt-in photo/video policy. Please do not take pictures of anyone at our events without advance permission from everyone being recorded.
- We share a teaching pool with our sister dance, Blues Union.
- The Democracy Center has a wheelchair ramp, but the bathroom is not wheelchair accessible. A fully accessible bathroom is located next door at the Daedalus restaurant.
