Dance Teachers
Alba discovered Blues and Jazz in 2007 and has been teaching ever since professionally since 2013. Based in Madrid, she co-founded Big Mama, a dance school she runs alongside GastĂłn FernĂĄndez, and has been actively teaching, organizing, and sharing her work both locally and internationally. Over the years, she has been involved in every layer of the dance world from local community building to international workshops, from teaching to choreographing and performing.
But at the heart of it all lies her true passion: teaching and social dancing.
Albaâs approach invites you to let go, to listen, and to trust the conversation between your body and the music. She focuses on helping dancers connect with their own expression, and to translate it through the language of jazz and blues. Deeply rooted in blues culture which she has studied and embraced with dedication her teaching carries both sensitivity and intention.In her classes, movement becomes dialogue, between you, the music, and the space around you.
You asked for it⊠and we heard you! Joyss is coming back to Brussels and we cannot think of a festival without him.
Jean-Charles, aka Joyss, is making his return âand we couldnât be more thrilled. A dancer with a big heart and an even bigger imagination, Joyss is an actor whose lifelong love affair with movement has taken him across styles, stages, and continents.
Coming straight from the world of hip-hop, where every dancer is challenged to build their own voice, Joyss brings that same mission into every room: to create, to evolve, to honour the past while dancing fully in the now. Heâs not here to âmodernizeâ Blues or Swing â he brings his whole experience, pushes boundaries, and levels up like the old-school legends before him.
From his iconic âDrunk Dance on Take Fiveâ to his solo Charleston win at ILHC 2015 in Washington DC, Joyss has become one of the most unique and respected artists on the international scene.
Born and raised in the islands of SĂŁo TomĂ© and PrĂncipe, Edmilson grew up surrounded by music, deeply inspired by the vibrant rhythms of African traditional dances.
As a passionate dancer and teacher, he embodies the essence of dance; finding joy in every step, every rhythm.

đ„ Briana is back!
At Blues Remix, the festival doesn’t just happen inside the venues. Every moment is an invitation to share, learn, create, and experience Blues together through both music and dance.
That’s why our Blues Parade is so much more than a walk through the city it’s a moving celebration of rhythm, community, and expression.
And who better to lead it than Briana? As Belgium’s Stepping Ambassador, she’ll guide us through the streets with stepping, singing, clapping, and collective rhythm, transforming Brussels into one big stage where everyone belongs.
The streets are ours. Our voices are ours. Our rhythm is ours.
Come walk, sing, and step with us. Let’s celebrate the Blues together. đđ„

Reiki is a Japanese practice of energy healing, rooted in the belief that a life force energy flows through all living beings. Practitioners serve as conduits, gently guiding this energy to support the bodyâs natural healing processes.
As a complementary practice, Reiki aims to restore balance in your life force and energy field â helping you feel grounded, calm, and deeply connected. Many who receive Reiki describe leaving a session with a sense of peace and renewed vitality.
