Zydeco and Blues are kissing cousins, so please come join our debut partnership with Portland Blues and Jazz (PB&J). Tuesday Blues dancing queen, Julia Box, will give a blues dance lesson followed by our own David Seitz and Patti Lind with a zydeco lesson.

Following the lessons, come dance to Frottoir a’ Trois, the acoustic trio of our friends from Too Loose: Jennifer Smieja, Lefty Head and Steve Kerin. The playlist will be a gumbo of blues, zydeco, Cajun, swamp pop and waltzes.

The philosophy of PB&J is to make social dancing inclusive for all. Their gracious invitation to be a sponsor and teach a class at the recent annual Rose City Blues Dance Festival and what we hope will be a 5th Tuesday ongoing collaboration is greatly appreciated. This opportunity is rich with potential to dance with new friends and old. Please join us.
