Thank you to all of you lovely people who came to Lyon for Blues on my Mind and showered us with love! The first edition was better than we could have imagined. ❤️
We finally manage to gather all those wonderful people, crazy talented artists and above all a focus on Blues Culture and Black American art forms along with strong important and central topics (inclusivity, support to women).

It's time to introduce the Care Team for the Festival! 💗

They are here to help, don't hesitate to approach them 😊

Eléna
In her local scene in Bremen, Eléna is a passionate dancer and teacher, as well as a committed organizer. She’s dedicated to creating safe, inclusive, and welcoming spaces — both on and off the dance floor.
Always smiling and ready to listen, she pays close attention to everyone’s well-being.
Together with Aurore and Greg, she’s excited to help create a warm and caring atmosphere throughout the festival.

Aurore
As a teacher of Lindy Hop and Blues, Aurore always brings awareness to the comfort of each dancer — through inclusion, movement, and consent.
She organizes events in her local scene and naturally became curious about how to create and manage safe dance spaces.
Recently, Aurore completed a training focused on these topics (including sexual and gender-based violence) and is now joining the Care Team at BOMM alongside Eléna and Greg.

Greg
Greg has been involved for over 10 years in exploring how to make our events more inclusive and respectful of everyone’s needs and boundaries. He has been part of many care teams, written several codes of conduct, and made almost every possible mistake on the topic along the way. With all this experience under his belt, he’s thrilled to be at an event where his main role is simply to remind everyone to drink water and get enough sleep.

Des espaces solidaires et engagés.
Notre festival investit deux lieux solidaires au cœur de l’engagement social.
🏠 L'Agora du 9 est un tiers lieu, un espace de soutien pour les initiatives sociales, écologiques et culturelles. La communauté d'acteurs engagés partagent une approche de soutien social, d’inclusion et de développement durable.

🏠Le Centre Ressource LYON est une association qui accompagne depuis octobre 2019 des personnes atteintes de cancer et leurs proches aidants, femmes, hommes, quel que soit le type de cancer, son stade et les traitements.

Le festival soutient ces 2 lieux et initiatives.

Our festival takes place in two solidarity spaces committed to social impact.
🏠The Agora du 9 is a third place, a support space for social, ecological, and cultural initiatives. The community of committed actors shares an approach of social support, inclusion, and sustainable development.

🏠The Centre Ressource Lyon is an association that has been supporting people with cancer and their carers, women and men, regardless of the type of cancer, its stage, and the treatments, since October 2019.

The festival support those 2 places.

🔥🍾On vous présente notre MC de coeur pour le week-end : MC Pau !!!

Danseuse de blues et de swing, Pauline prend parfois le micro en festival en tant que MC!
Prête à gérer l'imprévu, à faire des blagues dans un anglais approximatif ou à faire chanter les festivalier·e·s en yaourt, elle fera le lien entre tous les participants, artistes et organisateurs.

For those who don’t dance Blues yet, we’re offering a discovery class on Saturday evening 🥳 just before the talk and the party.

The discovery class is available with the Full Party Pass and the Full Saturday Pass 🎟️

Giving this class, we have Lucie & Vincent, from Lyon, both also part of the organising team 😊

✨ Lucie grew up surrounded by Blues music thanks to her father. She started Lindy Hop in 2016 and then she fell into Blues Dancing! Curious and enthusiastic, she loves exploring and sharing the rich variety of Blues music, culture, and dances.

✨ A dancer for over 10 years, Vincent teaches Lindy Hop and Blues with a playful, musical, and accessible approach. Passionate about the cultural richness of these dances, he’s committed to sharing both the joy of movement and the history behind it. His classes blend kindness, technique, and freedom of expression.

✨ Together they founded the association Blues Till Dawn, for organising events in Lyon


🇫🇷
Pour celles et ceux qui ne dansent pas encore le Blues on vous propose un cours découverte le samedi soir, 🥳 juste avant la conférence et la soirée.

Le cours découverte est accessible avec le Full Party Pass et le Full Saturday Pass 🎟️

Par Lucie & Vincent, de Lyon, et toustes deux faisant partie de l’équipe d’organisation !

✨ Lucie a grandi avec du Blues plein les oreilles grâce à son père. Elle a commencé par le Lindy Hop en 2016, et puis elle est tombée dans les danses blues ! Curieuse et enthousiaste, elle aime explorer et partager toute la richesse du Blues : dans ses musiques, ses danses et sa culture.

✨ Danseur depuis plus de 10 ans, Vincent enseigne le lindy hop et les danses blues avec une approche ludique, musicale et accessible. Passionné par la richesse culturelle de ces danses, il s’attache à transmettre autant le plaisir du mouvement que l’histoire qui les accompagne. Ses cours mêlent bienveillance, technique et liberté d’expression.

✨Ensemble, ils ont fondé l’association Blues Till Dawn à Lyon, pour organiser des événements à Lyon
