The Blues Association of Austin
The Blues Association of Austin is a non-profit organization devoted to promoting Blues Dancing through dances, workshops, and classes in the Austin area.
We were founded in 2007 to manage the Austin Blues Party an annual blues workshop weekend. Since then, we have grown and expanded and now run a weekly dance, Kick Butt Blues in association with Kick Butt Coffee. Over the next year we will be sponsoring additional workshops. Stay tuned!
Austin Blues Party
Austin Blues Party is our annual all-weekend workshop featuring fantastic instructors, DJs, and dancing. ABP is generally held July 4th weekend.
Kick Butt Blues
Kick Butt Blues is a regularly scheduled Friday night blues dance run in association with Kick Butt Coffee. Music, drinks, and an awesome location — the only thing that could make KBB more kick butt is YOU!

various Austin dance teachers, BAA sponsors workshops
