Our next blues dance party will be with live music from Chicago blues pianist Ken Saydak! We're bringing Saydak back to another SSB event before he moves out of state!!!
This will be a Diversion Weekend kickoff event! Come dance with us if you're in town early for the weekend!! Also, we have the pleasure of learning from the instructor that is flying into town for Diversion, Odysseus Bailer, and Denver's very own international blues dance instructor, Katrina Rogers, who will be teaching with Odysseus during the weekend event as well!
(Admission for Diversion Weekend is separate from this event. For more information and tickets to Diversion, visit: https://www.cmdance.org/cmevents/diversion2024)
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.
