🎵 Live Music for Partner Dancers: Jake Green Concert 🩵
2026-04-11 19:00 - 23:45 | Copenhagen, Denmark, Copenhagen, Denmark
A Night of Live Music — For Lovers of Close, Connected Partner Dance 💙
Are you a Blues dancer craving dancing to live music?
Are you a partner dancer who loves close embrace, slow dancing, musicality, and partner dance where connection matters more than steps?
Are you a lover of dancing to live music?
Then this event is for you!
💃 Come experience the magic of deeply connected dancing to live music. Jake Green is a Copenhagen-based Blues musician with a powerful voice and soulful guitar playing, and he has years of experience playing especially for partner dancers.
✨ There’s something truly special about dancing to a live musician — a dialogue between everyone in the room emerges as the music responds and invites you into connection in a way recorded music simply can’t. It’s one of those experiences that reminds you why you fell in love with partner dancing in the first place.
🎧 In between live sets DJ Saratonin will play some bluesy inspired fusion sets to keep us in the gooey dancing zone. After the concert we will have an hour of fusion social dancing.
What is Blues Dancing?
Blues dancing is a partner dance rooted in African American Blues culture, danced to Blues music. It’s grounded, intimate, and improvisational, with a strong focus on connection, musicality, and listening—to the music and to each other. Rather than fixed steps, blues dancing invites you to move naturally, expressively, and in close conversation with your partner and the live sound.
Do I need to know how to dance Blues to attend this event?
No. We’ll begin the evening with a Blues taster class, giving everyone simple tools and a shared language to feel comfortable on the social floor. While Blues dancers will feel right at home at this event, dancers from all backgrounds are warmly welcome.
You don’t need Blues technique to dance to this kind of music. Compared to other partner dances, Blues does not have a strict structure that you need to know to be able to dance it. It is a dance that comes from people connecting late at night in bars, and you can feel this.
If you love close embrace, slow dancing, musicality, and partner dance where connection matters more than steps, this evening is for you.
Do I Need a Partner to Attend this Event?
Nope. In the taster class we will rotate partners frequently and you’re invited to dance with everyone on the social dance floor.

🎷 WHAT IS BLUES DANCE?
Blues dancing is not just one single dance; it is a soulful family of vernacular dances with deep roots in African American culture and history. Unlike dances that rely on rigid patterns, Blues is built on connection, improvisation, and a raw conversation with the music.
To see how this looks when technical skill meets pure soul, check out our instructors Philippa & Vivien in action:

📼 TONIGHT’S CLASS: A-SIDE / B-SIDE
This taster comes with a twist: A-Side / B-Side, like a cassette tape! 📼
A-Side brings upbeat solo movement to higher-energy Blues (think funk & disco vibes), while B-Side slows things down with a smooth, close-embrace pattern inspired by slow drag — all about connection. Both parts are guided and beginner-friendly.
