Portland Blues & Jazz Dance Society is a non-profit dedicated to dance education, supporting live blues music and creating a joy-filled community for dance and music lovers. Blues dance is an umbrella term for the folk dances of Black Americans done to Blues music. Learn to blues dance, and you’ll experience music more fully, discover new ways to connect with fellow blues lovers, and join a fun worldwide community of social dancers! Tuesday Blues is a POC & LGBTQIA safer event. This means bigotry of any kind is not tolerated.
