How does it work

We’re excited to introduce our Pick Your Own Path!

At Blues Fever, we want every edition of the festival to offer new opportunities to learn, grow, and connect. That's why we're always looking for ideas that can make your festival experience even better.

This year, we're introducing Themed Classes. A format inspired by our friends at Spoonful, who have successfully used this concept for years. We're excited to bring it to Blues Fever and give you more freedom to shape your own learning experience.

What are themed classes?

Each class focuses on one specific topic or skill. Every class comes with a detailed description explaining what you'll work on, who the class is designed for, and any skills or experience that are recommended beforehand.

This way, you know exactly what to expect and can choose the classes that fit your interests and goals.

Why themed classes?

  • Choose your own focus
    • Whether you want to dive deep into a specific technique, improve your solo movement, explore musicality, work on connection, or simply learn from a teacher you've always admired, you decide what your festival journey looks like.
  • Choose your level and role for each class
    • You don't have to stay in the same level or dance role throughout the weekend. You can select the level and role that best matches your experience for each individual topic.
  • Meet more people
    • Every class is mixed with different participants, giving you the chance to dance with more people throughout the weekend and connect with dancers you might not have met otherwise.
  • Build your own schedule
    • Instead of following a fixed timetable, you'll create your own schedule by selecting the five classes that suit you best. It's a flexible format that lets you tailor the weekend to your personal interests and learning goals.

How does it work?

Registration for Blues Fever opens on August 2nd. To take part in the themed classes, you'll first need to register for a Full Pass.

As a Full Pass holder, you'll attend five 75-minute classes (6 hours 15 minutes in total).

In November, we'll publish the complete class schedule, including descriptions and recommended levels. At that point, all registered Full Pass holders will be invited to sign up for their preferred classes and create their own personalized festival schedule.

IMPORTANT:
Each class has its own level and description. Please read them carefully before making your selection.
