Code Blue, Austin

What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition?
We are the only regular blues dance in town, providing both the social dance experience and lessons to get you comfortable on the dance floor. If you didn't know, blues itself is a grounded, expressive dance emphasizing creativity for both leads and follows.

What's one tip for first-time students that will make them feel like veterans?
There is no age restriction for the deal. Code Blue is an all-ages event, so everyone is welcome at our dance! You also don't need a partner to participate.

What was the inspiration to start or run this business?
The non-profit behind Code Blue, the Blues Association of Austin, was founded in 2007 to promote blues dancing. We've expanded since then, and now run our regular Friday night dance "Code Blue" as well as blues dance workshops throughout the year.

What do you love most about your job?
As an instructor, there's nothing I love more than seeing students implement what they learned in class on the social floor! That's what's so great about Code Blue; the lessons are followed directly by a social dance, so you can try out your new moves and dance skills.
