Come dancing! At Boston’s blues and fusion events, you can work up a sweat or take it easy, connect with people or just check out the vibe, express yourself without needing words or sit on a couch talking all night. It’s fine to be a beginner, we all were some time. Dances may move outdoors or cancel; check the event’s facebook or web pages before heading out!
