The mission of BluesQuake is to grow and strengthen the San Francisco and Bay Area partnered blues dancing scene. As an organization we strive to create a welcoming and inclusive community, which supports both our experienced dancers and those new to dancing. BluesQuake works to support both established and up-and-coming blues instructors and DJs by highlighting their skills at our events. We are interested in encouraging friendships and connections among dancers of all skill levels. We also wish to foster connections between the local community and the larger national/international dance communities. BluesQuake strives to provide a safe, friendly, and welcoming environment for all dancers, regardless of gender, gender expression, orientation, race, age, nationality, creed, physical ability, preferred dance role, or any other descriptor. Together we will build connections through dance.
