Every first Tuesday of the month, and right before our cozy social starts, we are organizing a two hour Blues Crash Course for absolute beginners every first Tuesday of the month from 19:00 till 21:00. Here you can learn all the basic steps, moves and attitudes needed to start blues dancing with confidence, and dance the night away at our social dances!
More information about our Beginner Blues Crash Course:

Right after the crash course we will have our weekly two hours of social dancing, with energetic jookin’, stylish ballrooming, fast strutting, lazy slow drag, Chicago tripples, sexy fishtails and messing around Blues style.
And good to know: (pretty much) every Tuesday (except the first of the month) we organize a donation based Community Practice Session before our social from 20:00 till 21:00.
