How it works
The Good Time Blues Fest is not just a dance event — it’s a full cultural experience.
As organisers, we are obviously committed to offering you inspiring dance classes and mind-blowing live music.
You’ll have two hours of dance classes every day, designed to challenge, inspire and deepen your dancing.
But we also want you to experience the local culture in a meaningful way.
That’s why we organise a range of cultural activities such as pasta, pizza and bread-making classes, a cheese laboratory experience, southern Italian folk dance workshops, olive oil tasting, wine tasting, and much more
Below you’ll find a general schedule to help you start planning your trip and get excited.

TRACKS: MUSIC AT THE CENTRE
All our classes will revolve around one essential theme: MUSIC. Our incredible teachers will guide you through a variety of topics, all designed to deepen your musicality and enrich your dance experience.
Because let’s not forget—music comes first!
Choose Your Own Adventure
Classes will be available at different levels (see details below), and you’ll have the freedom to mix and match based on your interests. No need to commit to a single level in advance! A full class schedule with descriptions will be provided beforehand, so you can plan your journey.
For example, you might choose a Level 1 class on Polyrhythms followed by a Level 3 class on Call and Response.
Flexible Learning
Instead of registering for a specific track based on your dance level, you’ll only need to indicate your role: LEAD, FOLLOW, or BOTH. This way, you can explore, challenge yourself, and make the most of every class!
