Events & Calendar - Blue Suede Shoes

Dancing is most fun when you’re doing it with a group, at a party. That’s why Blue Suede Shoes organises plenty of dance parties. Think of Ballroom parties, Argentine Tango milongas (at the Tango Café), or mixed parties (Dance Café). Our annual gala is also something you should not miss.
