Re-Ignite Your Blues – Swing Patrol

Back by popular demand, Shob and Andy present another engaging and challenging day of blues learning. With a wealth of experience teaching blues around the country, they have recently been invited to teach at the prestigious Espanish Blues Festival 2020 in Spain. We are so excited to have them share the ideas they are working on with the Melbourne community.

Come along to classes and then take your new inspiration out for a spin at Sunday Blues Night, and keep it going at Fitzroy Blues Dancing.
