Borderline Blues is a blues dancing exchange based in Albury, NSW from 28th – 30th August 2015.
There’ll be two days of workshops, three nights of social dancing and an opportunity for people to learn from some of the remarkably talented dancers within the Australian Blues community who we may not usually have a chance to engage with in a learning relationship.
Duncan Robson is leading the team and we’re really excited about offering an event that focuses on local talent and brings the dance community out of the major cities and into regional Australia.
