Mentor Announcement: Meet Leigh.
Leigh is a true blues dance obsessive and she couldn’t be happier about it.
After trying many dance styles growing up, nothing quite clicked until she discovered Lindy Hop and then her true love: blues dancing in 2011. Since then, Leigh has spent years travelling across Europe, taking classes, diving into the music, learning from incredible teachers, and immersing herself deeply in the blues scene.
As a dancer, instructor, organiser, and DJ, she has become a familiar and beloved presence in the European blues community. Always with a flower in her hair and a smile on her face, Leigh brings an infectious energy to every dance floor.
At Blues Lab Cappadocia, Leigh joins us as a mentor, sharing her experience, curiosity, and love for the music and the community.
We’re very happy to have her with us.

Dancing together in our 'home town'! With Dara growing up there and Renske moving there, we couldn't resist dancing to some Boogaloo Blues in front of the iconic central station of #rotterdam
Starting off a new collaboration! Want to see more of us? Stay tuned ;)

¡Ya estamos calentando motores!
💙 Este verano nos hemos juntado Dáire, Julia y María José para prepararos las clases más fresquitas para septiembre...
A partir de septiembre, vuelve el blues dance a @lab.espaicultural en Benimaclet, con nuevos horarios, más energía y muchas ganas de compartir.
🔹 Clases de baile en solo y en pareja multinivel
🔹 Aprendizaje sin presión y a tu ritmo
🔹 Conexión y buen rollo
🔹 Expresión individual e improvisación
🔹 Respeto y amor por la cultura del blues y sus raíces
🔹Clase bilingüe (inglés y español)
Tengas experiencia o no, aquí hay un espacio para ti. Aprender a bailar también es aprender a escucharte, expresarte y compartir.
Benimaclet nos acoge con ese espíritu de barrio, de raíces, de comunidad… y el blues lo celebramos así: ¡bailando!
🎥 Gracias a @leighanderbard por capturar la esencia en este vídeo tan bonito.
