About Us

Bay Area Blues Dance is a registered 501(c)3 not for profit corporation. Our mission is to share the love and appreciation of blues dance in all its forms through community, transparency, and cultural engagement.  Find out more about our mission statement and values here.

Together, our team represents a variety of experiences and knowledge of the blues scene, ranging from nationally-renowned DJs and instructors to local community members, long-time and fresh-faced.  We're all a part of this because we love blues music and dancing and the community we've found around it.

We are dedicated to sharing blues dance and its history, culture, and music with the Bay Area and beyond in an accurate and culturally sensitive way.  We strive to dance and teach in ways that incorporate the wide family of styles encompassed by blues to help us all express ourselves, our individuality, and what we feel in the music.  It might be groovy, cathartic, heartbreaking, uplifting, funky, fun, or serene-but it's always a good time!  We'd love to have you join us some Wednesday.
