ESpanish Blues Festival... Spain's first ever blues dance festival! Two editions per year, spring and winter! He said, 'Man, there is no ultimate!
Every April blues dancers from far and wide gather in the Madrid sunshine, for a weekend of learning, dancing, sangria drinking and sharing their love for blues dancing. Created by Alba Mengual and Adamo Ciarallo in 2013, ESBF has a strong focus on the importance of blues as a SOCIAL dance. At the heart of ESBF is YOU...

Magic CommunityVibes DanceWithUs
🎤Singers who step into the crowd and dance.
💃Dancers who sing with their bodies.
Thousands of expressions — welcomed, received, and transformed on the dance floor.
This is what happens when music and bodies stop being separate.
When the line between artist and dancer disappears.
When you allow yourself to be fully there.
At ESBF, we hold the space.
You fill the container.
With your presence, your vulnerability, your joy, your intensity.
And that’s how the magic is created — night after night.
If you’ve been here, you know.
If you haven’t… this is your sign. ✨
❤️With love,
ESBF

📸 Saturday Classes — Photo Album out now
A glimpse into a weekend full of inspiration and challenges.
Of stepping out of comfort zones, drilling and practicing,
aha moments and honest sharing
Fun, laughter, focus, and that precious feeling of a safe space where we can grow — together.
Thank you for trusting us, for trying with us, and for letting us be part of your blues journey.
Spaces like this only exist because of your presence, your openness, and your willingness to show up fully.
We hope you grew as dancers…
just as much as we grew as teachers, learners, and inspirers by sharing this path with you.
This is what ESBF is about — and this is what we keep building, year after year.
We can’t wait to dance, learn, and grow with you again very soon.
With love,
ESBF Team
