The last Friday night of every month is Blues At The Ritzy - and this January is no different! A ticket for London’s longest-running monthly dance has been incorporated into your ticket, lucky you. 8pm - 2am, act TBA.
Saturday we’ve teamed up with London’s other premier blues night, Merchant Moonshine with Blues Revolution. 8pm - 12am+ with music from Stefano Ronchi at one of the coziest cocktail bars in the city.
Sunday we’ll be running an early evening dance after workshops with live music from Tom Attah.
If you want to learn more about where blues dance came from, as well as being part of a community celebration of that culture, bring it on in.
We’re still finalising workshop and talk ideas so fill out a survey and let us know what excites you: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/2J2G8H5
