Going for the first time

Blues dance nights welcome solo dancers and lead/follow alike. The dance is connection-first and improvisational — listen to the song, respond to your partner. Many events include a lesson before the late-night.

Consent matters more here than almost anywhere. Ask before close embrace. Thank your partner after one or two songs unless they ask for more.
