Blues dance is an African American dance form. As dancers not from this culture, we are committed to honouring the roots of the dance through this event. We organise this event with care and deep respect for the rich history and heritage of the music and dance, aiming to educate about and celebrate the dance, the music and the people who created it. 

​At ​ESBF we like to keep things simple.
​It's all about quality music and lots and lots of social dancing!
​We promise to bring you...​
AMAZING MUSIC
​The musicians are an integral part of the event. They play multiple times throughout the weekend, coming together in different collaborations to highlight the breadth of styles blues has to offer. It really is all about the music!
VARIETY
​​We want to honour blues music and show its full spectrum of styles. Expect a variety of styles and real mix of tempos. Musicians, DJs and teachers are encouraged to play a broad range from Piedmont, to Chicago; New Orleans, to Kansas City and everything in between! 
COMMUNITY
​Community is at the centre of what we do and the whole reason we run this event. Spend a weekend dancing together, learning together, relaxing together and forming connections and friendships on and off the dance floor.
