Our next blues dance party will be with live music from delta blues master John Long!
You can only find SSB at Denver's one and only Mercury Café (in the upstairs ballroom)! Come for good music, good dancing, and good people!
Doors open at 6:30pm. Free street parking or adjacent lots starting at only $3.
There will be a beginner-friendly blues dance lesson from 7-8pm. A dance party with live music from the band and DJ'ed band breaks will follow from 8-12.
7-8pm: All levels blues dance class
Instructors: Joe DeMers and Katrina Rogers!
8:30-11:30: John Long (live blues band!)
DJ: Jen Delk (band breaks)
Admission:
$15- class only ($10 student discount with ID)
$20- dance only ($15 student discount with ID)
$35- class and dance ($25 student discount with ID)
**NOTE: Because of new pricing of the venue, we are no longer offering the $30 class and dance bundled discount- we hope that this small change will offset the extra costs that we have while keeping the dance affordable to attendees.

Event Manager
Felicia Bode
Felicia's insight in both macro and micro aspects of situations along with her organizational skills naturally lead her to event organizing. During her college years, as president of multiple swing dance organizations, Felicia worked to connect students with the broader dance community by organizing classes and social dances at the school. Post-graduation, her work continued through the registered non-profit, The Cleveland Exchange, for 3 years, and Rock the Blues for 2 years. In conjunction with planning for these ongoing classes and private events in her hometown of Cleveland, OH, Felicia has managed and worked with a variety of venues, instructors, bands, and DJs. As a new event manager on board at CMDance, Felicia is excited to be bringing blues dancing back to Denver and continuing to foster the blues community here through the Shimmy Shakin' Blues events.
