It’s not very often you get two (2!) nationally-respected blues dance instructors in the same room at your regular weekly dance, but here we are.
On Thursday, December 1, Mike Legenthal and Dan Repsch will be teaching the beginner lesson and sharing the DJ booth at Back Room Blues. This is a rare opportunity to learn from the greats for just $8, our regular weekly price. Happy holidays.
There’s nothing like blues after midnight.
Because dance is all about partnership, we’re teaming up with DC Lindy Exchange (DCLX) to bring you a late night blues dance on the night of December 10 (technically, the wee hours of December 11) after the swing dance with Chelsea Reed and the Fairweather Five.
The details:
Saturday, December 10 / Sunday, December 11
Location: Back Room at Glen Echo Park
Swing dance with Chelsea Reed and the Fairweather Five: 8 p.m. – 12 a.m.
Blues dance with DJ Boris Glebov: 12:30 a.m. – 2:30 a.m.
The blues late night is $8 with pre-registration, $10 at the door.
Learn more and snag some advance tickets on the DCLX website.
You may remember blues dancing was happening in the Bumper Car Pavilion over October, but as of November and onwards we’re back in the Back Room at Glen Echo Park, just off the Spanish Ballroom.

It’s a good time to dance blues. We’ve returned to our usual weekly schedule: dances every Thursday night at Glen Echo Park. And we’re thrilled to be offering our first workshop series in over two years: an all-levels class on blues connection.
Important location note: for three weeks in October, dances will happen in the Bumper Car Pavilion, right across from the Back Room at Glen Echo. See the weekly dances page for directions. The Bumper Car Pavilion is outdoors, so dress for the weather.
October dance locations:
Oct. 6 – Back Room
Oct. 13 – Bumper Car Pavilion
Oct. 20 – Bumper Car Pavilion
Oct. 27 – Bumper Car Pavilion
In November we’ll be back in the Back Room again. Dance with you soon!
