Want to switch up your Saturday night routine? Look no further than on Cal Poly campus, where Drop Dead Blues hosts its weekly venue!
These are the officers of Drop Dead Blues, the campus and community blues dancing venue. Blues dancing, they explain, is a social, partnered dance with an emphasis on groundedness. Drop Dead Blues offers an all-levels drop in lesson every Saturday night with the very low cost of no money at all! Not only that, but they host free social dancing from 9:30pm-1am, with awesome blues (and sometimes not blues) music!
But they don’t just do weekly events. Every year, Drop Dead Blues hosts a weekend-long workshop during winter quarter where they bring in professional teachers to amp up the scene’s dancing. In addition to two days of lessons from professionals, the workshop also includes two nights of social dancing, competitions and the opportunity to make friends with many out-of-town dancers who come to SLO for the workshop!
Drop Dead Blues meets in Building 5, Room 225 every Saturday night. They are always welcoming new people on the social dancing floor, so come on in and learn how to groove to some Down Home Blues.
