Capital Blues hosts dances, classes, special workshops, and other events celebrating blues dance in the Washington, D.C. area, including weekly Thursday night dances and our signature annual event, Red Hot Blues & BBQ, a weekend of dancing and delicious BBQ.
The dance is on for Thursday, May 28! Come join us.
Special Event Thursday, June 4:
Adam & Krystal Wilkerson join us from Huntsville, AL to teach beginner and intermediate classes in Phrasing and Improvisation:
In this class, we’ll dance through some phrasing exercises by setting up some move sequences involving different partner orientations. We’ll use these to make space for improvisation with a set start and end point, and work together to fill in the blanks using both the tools you already have and some new ones we’ll bring along!
Intermediate lesson 7–8pm ($25 at the door, no pre-registration)
Beginner-friendly lesson 8:15–9pm ($10 at the door, no pre-registration)
Paying for either class gets you into the dance for free! Cash or card at the door.
9pm–11:30pm Blues Dance ($10 entry or free with class)
Blues in the Back Room
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!
