Capital Blues hosts dances, classes, special workshops, and other events celebrating blues dance in the Washington, D.C. area.
Our signature annual event is Red Hot Blues & BBQ, a weekend of dancing to live music, late nights, and delicious BBQ, happening this Memorial Day weekend, May 21–25, 2026.
Every Thursday night, we host Back Room Blues, a DJ’d dance to blues music in the Back Room at Glen Echo Park, just outside of Washington, D.C. Come join us!
The dance is at 9pm. Join us at 8:15pm for a beginner-friendly lesson in blues dance foundations, free with admission!
