Whether you are a professional or amateur, dancing is encouraged and is a big part of the festival each year.  Bring your dancing shoes!

Dance instructors Barbara Leininger and Matt Brand of Bloomington Arthur Murray Dance Studio will dance in 2019. And to prepare the public, Arthur Murray Dance Studio is again offering a Bloomington Boogies special:  swing dance lessons at a reduced rate, if you let the studio know you are preparing for Bloomington Boogies!

At the festival we also welcome students from MotionArts Dance Companies: MAD Co. and mini-MAD, the new junior company at MotionArts Dance Companies, where quality dance education meets creativity and passion!
