February 2026 sees Bluest Blues reaching ten years of dance events!
At times there have been three class nights per week and three freestyles per month and then we started weekenders and for the last few years we have b=ventured as far as Spain for our blues dance holiday!
I think that's very good reason to celebrate!
So we are cancelling our Blue Magic on the 22nd Feb to be able to have a whole weekend of blues fun!
What a way to celebrate!
We start the weekend with......
FRIDAY 27TH FEB
Risby Village hall
6.30pm - 8pm - fun workshop with a routine that may end up being used at various other locations throughout 2026.
8 pm - midnight, a perfect mix of everything from smooth jive to lyrical blues and everything in between.
