Dance Classes?

Are you a beginner, or an experienced dancer wanting to brush up on some skillz?

In the past, Portland Blues Experience has been all about getting back to the roots of dance, which means an environment in which the musicians teach the dancers and the dancers inspire the musicians. We as dancers learn to move in the moment, as we're inspired by the many layers of sounds and rhythms offered by blues music, and pick up ideas from one another on the dance floor.

That said, many of us are seriously pursuing our dancing and the art of movement, and of course we want to take advantage of being in the same city with other great dancers. This year, for the first time in PBEx history, we are offering classes in contemporary and folk blues dance from some of the nation's top instructors. More information to come on the Schedule and Bios pages. If you want to book a private lesson while attending PBEx, we will have a list of instructors who will be in town for the event.
