The Monday afterparty we're keeping it close to home with our very own The JAM Collective. A crew of local musicians you already know from lighting up the dance floor, they’ll turn our first after party into a lush little blues playground—reading the room, riding the groove, and stretching every chorus until you can’t tell where the song ends and the jam begins. The JAM Collective plays the after party on Monday, June 22 at De VerbroederIJ

The Blues Joint
The Blues Joint is a blues dance community based in Amsterdam. See you on the dancefloor?
Workshops at Trippin’ are basically a Blues choose‑your‑own‑adventure.
We’ve got 6 tracks this year:
🧭 East – Fundamentals for solid basics and comfy connection
🧭 South – Improvers to grow your vocabulary and confidence
🧭 West – Special / Musicality for the nerds who want to play with rhythm and texture
🧭 North – Advanced when you’re ready to be lovingly pushed out of your comfort zone
🧭 Zenith – Solo to sharpen your body, rhythm and personal voice
🧭 Nadir – Cabaret for the theatrical souls who like a bit of glitter and storytelling with their Blues
You can pick one track for a chill weekend or combine two if you’re in full “feed me everything” mode – the schedule is set up so you can actually make your own path.
Check the website for all track descriptions, levels and teachers, then choose your adventure and grab your pass.

Ever watched people Blues dance and thought: “That looks fun… but where do I even start?” 👀 This year at Trippin’ Blues Amsterdam we’ve got a Beginner track just for the Blues‑curious. Two days, 5 hours of classes, and a room full of people who are just as new as you are.
You don’t need Blues experience and you don’t need a fixed partner – having tried any kind of partner dance helps, but your curiosity is the main requirement. We’ll walk you through the basics, connection, and that delicious Blues groove so you can already dance the night away after your first class.
Trippin’ Blues Amsterdam · 18–23 June 2026 · 6 nights of parties with live music at Kompaszaal.
Registration opens April 1, 19:00 CET – grab a Basic Pass, add the Beginner track, and come try a new dance with us.
👉 Tag that friend who keeps saying “Maybe one day I’ll try Blues…” and make “one day” this June.

Throwback to Trippin’ Blues 2024, a.k.a. ‘remember when we said we’d go home early and then didn’t?’.
From dancing on a boat through the Amsterdam canals to celebrating the cabaret finale and closing the floor on Sunday night, last edition was full of those ‘just one more song’ moments.
Live bands, sweaty smiles, impressive shapes on the floor, and that feeling of being totally exhausted and totally happy at the same time.
In 2026 we’re doing it again – with 6 parties with live music, 2 days of workshops in 6 tracks, and our traditional Friday Exchange Day to show you Amsterdam the Trippin’ way.
Were you there last time? Drop your favourite memory in the comments.
New here? Come make your own this June.
📅 18–23 June 2026
🎟️ All info and registration are on our website –https://trippinblues.amsterdam/
