  My favorite blues venue!  Great dancers, great DJs, and great people; what more could you ask for?

  Blues dancing is the closest high I've experienced to performing music, and Do Something Blue is where I learned to blues dance.
  
  The people usually don't limit themselves to cliques.  You can typically ask anyone  to dance and they'll say yes at least once.  This makes for a fantastically friendly and positive atmosphere.  As a relatively amateur lead, I can say you will find at least one follow that really gets into the dance at your exact wavelength (unless you're sleazy or something).
  
  Some folks are great friends with each other and will put on fantastic, joking dances intermittently.  All-around great time if you truly love music, even as someone that goes to these alone!

  Do Something Blue is one of the best blues dancing venues in Los Angeles. It has everything you could want... great music, great space, and best of all, great people to dance with! Whether you are brand new to blues or an experienced dancer, I would highly recommend this venue.

  This was my first blues event when I got into Blues. Great people, always fun and the classes before the dance are always great to go to whether you are a beginner or a veteran.

  A huge dancefloor, great vibe, fun people and excellent music. The dancer who runs it, Tracy, is a sweetheart and a very community-minded person. One of the important blues dance venues that keeps the scene alive. I always have a great time. Highly recommended!

  Great music, dance floor and people.
  I always have fun time and they have lessons before the main dance so people get a chance to meet each other before the dj starts the night of music and dancing.
  (Plus Stacy puts out candy and veggies for munching) :)

  Cover: $8
  Lesson: 8:30pm
  Dancing: 10:00pm - 2:30am!
  
  Remember, it's just a dance.
  
  This is an amazing event.  Blues dancing is somewhat inspired by swing, but it is slow, and sexy.  Anyone can blues dance, it's really all about the music, and what it tells your body to do.  It's about a connection between you and your partner, and it is about two people sharing the same space, and truly becoming one fluid entity.  If you like to dance and have never tried blues dancing, I highly recommend coming here for the lesson.
  
  Blues dancing is very slow, very close, and very sensual.  You have to be comfortable with yourself, with other people, and with your body in order to enjoy this dance.  I suggest bringing a date if you are not willing to be up close and personal with a stranger.
  
  The lessons are always unique, and the teachers are fantastic (different every time).  If you don't know what blues dancing is, you should come to the lesson.  If you are a swing dancer and you've never tried blues, you should come to the lesson.  If you are one of the world's most experienced blues dancers, you should still probably come to the lesson (or consider teaching one).  No two people dance blues in the same way.
  
  If it is your birthday this month, sign up at the web site and you can get in for free (but you have to do it by 11pm on Wednesday before the dance)
