Future Plans:
We want to continue to host more dances, workshops, and events that bring greater awareness of blues music, showcase the various roots of blues dance and blues music, and foster a wider community of blues dancers seeking to improve. If you have the inclination and the means to help us make this happen, please consider choosing the "buy tickets for 3 friends!" option. :)
=====
Our History:
We are blues dancers who have been delighted to see the return of blues dancing in the Bay Area. We want to add to that by highlighting the history of blues and the dance that grew from it. Inspired by the historical "basement party", where a blue light seen through the window meant that the party was on and the dancing was "slow boogie", we bring you: THE BLUE LIGHT LOUNGE.
