Capital Blues  Those of you who attended any part of Red Hot Blues 'n BBQ, please fill out our survey (it's only 10 quick questions). We'd love to hear your feedback about what you really liked and what we could do better for next year!

Out-Of-Town Events

Some say our locals should travel more. More? I think DC knows how to show up at another event and represent, but it can't hurt to encourage you all to travel more for dancing. It's a great way to help grow the community, make new friendships, and bring back new ideas to Washington, D.C. Here is a list of upcoming blues-dancing events you might want to check out:
