ABOUT PETIT ESBF
Petit ESBF started as a smaller version of ESpanish Blues Festival (which takes place in April). It was originally run as a local workshop for dancers from Madrid, but over time people from further afield got wind of the beautiful event and started joining us. The more the merrier! After a few years the 'petit' ESBF was not so petit anymore!
PETIT ESBF PROMISES TO BRING YOU...
AMAZING MUSIC We want you to connect to the musicians. They don't just play one gig and leave, they are an integral part of the weekend, attending or playing every night and teaching classes. |
VARIETY OF BLUES STYLES Petit ESBF is 100% blues. We encourage musicians and DJs to demonstrate the entire range of blues styles, with dedicated 'DJ Specials' to add a deeper level of connection to the music during the socials. |
NO INTERRUPTIONS Petit ESBF is a 'no-frills' weekend for the social dance lover! No competitions, no shows, no interruptions... just great classes, incredible music, lots of social dancing and wonderful people! |
RELAXED SCHEDULE We don't want to exhaust you. You will have 2 long classes each day, plus an extra 'speciality' class on Sunday with one of the musicians. A relaxed schedule to aid your learning and leave you with more energy to social dance! |
