Barefoot is a POC & LGBTQIA safe(r) event. This means bigotry of any kind is not tolerated. If you experience or see anything questionable, please let someone on the PB&J team know. Thanks for helping keep our dance a safe and welcoming space for all.
At Barefoot every Friday you'll see everything from Traditional Blues dancing to "Fusion dancing", which is the combination of two or more dance styles danced to non-traditional music. For example, Blues can be mixed with Tango and danced to world-fusion electronica. You may also see people dancing "Micro Blues," which is done in close embrace with slight body movements and isolations.
Due to the intimate nature of our dances, Covid policies are enforced at every dance. Although there is inherent risk to attending any event in person.

For Tank and the Bangas, music is a vessel for unbridled joy and transcendent connection—forces as integral to their essence as their wildly original sound. On their new album, The Last Balloon, the New Orleans-bred outfit channels those impulses into something celebratory yet profoundly human, exploring themes of frustration, resilience, and self-realization with equal parts raw emotionality and playful exuberance. A shapeshifting collective helmed by lead singer Tarriona “Tank” Ball and multi-instrumentalist Norman Spence II, the globally beloved group completed the LP after winning a Grammy for 2024’s spoken-word powerhouse The Heart, The Mind, The Soul, moving from incendiary poetry to a euphoric collision of soul and hip-hop and forward-thinking R&B. As the final installment in a trilogy of albums that began with 2019’s Green Balloon (a critical triumph that earned them a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist), The Last Balloon ultimately solidifies Tank and the Bangas’ legacy as one of modern music’s most steadfast voices of sublime exhilaration.
