Every Friday night in the heart of The Triangle (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill) 100 or more fun-loving folks come together for an evening of close-partner dancing to Blues music. And that’s partners – not couples – many come as couples (and leave as couples) but EVERYBODY dances with EVERYBODY.
There’s an hour-long free lesson for beginners before the DJ’s start spinning tunes for some seriously fun dancing from 9 till midnight. You might want to bring want to bring an extra shirt or blouse to change into midway through because you WILL work up a sweat. That water cooler gets refilled at least once during the night.
RDU Blues, a volunteer organization, hosts the events at a very convenient location on Miami Blvd just north of Alexander Dr near RTP. Here are their website and Facebook links:

I’ve enjoyed DJing for the group for three years now and thought I’d share one of my typical 90-minute sets.
