Blues Social Dance

Lace up your blues shoes and join us at Loungen for an evening of pure dancing. This is a social dance - no class, no teacher, just great music and a floor full of people who have turned up for exactly the same reason as you: to dance.

Come alone, come with friends, come as you are. A partner is not required - most people walk in on their own. Ask someone for a song or two, say thank you, and move on to someone new. By the end of the night you'll have shared dances with familiar faces and people you hadn't met before.

Every level is welcome on a Thursday like this. Whether your first blues workshop was last week or you've been dancing for years, there is room for you. Lead, follow or both - and if you'd rather move on your own, solo jazz fits any swing tune.

A few small things keep the floor a happy place:

• Ask freely, and take a "no thank you" with a smile - it's never personal.
• Dance to your partner's level, and keep your moves small when it gets crowded.
• Come fresh, go easy on the perfume, and bring a spare shirt - it gets warm out there.

See you on the dance floor!
