10-12 October · Valencia (Spain)
A three night event designed and curated by blues and fusion dancers and teachers to unite the wonderful worlds of blues/fusion and kink. This is a carefully planned and meticulously conceived journey in the null space between partner dancing and bdsm – a space for you to explore both, free from judgement, surrounded by kinky camaraderie and dancy badassery.
Our Vision
3BX is a kinky partner dance event.
Our event is all about Connection: connection to our passions, connection between those passions, and most importantly connection with each other.
It exists because you exist – in your wonderful diversity, yet common interests. Our aim is to create an event in which you can experience, enjoy and develop your passions for these two incredible hobbies, and in doing so immerse yourself in a community of wonderful like-minded judgment-free people.
In running this event, we are not sexualising partner dancing, nor are we trying to morph kink into a dance form! We are simply curating a space for lovers of both to indulge and enjoy amongst their tribe.
Beginnings
3BX started as a conversation between Peter (UK), Emiliano (US) and Aude (FR) on Peter’s houseboat on the Thames in 2016… we chatted about the recurring cross-over of blues & fusion dancers with the world of kink, and playfully daydreamed of a world where you could explore both together. What began as a throw-away chat lodged insistently Peter’s mind, so when he met Flouer and Alfredo on a DJ/teaching tour in Australia later that year, and recognised fellow kinky souls – finally idea sparks began to fly and the intention took form!
Bare Bottomed Blues, as it was originally called, was announced in December 2016 with our first event in June 2017 and what a joyful birth it was! People from all over the world trusted us enough to flock to London and experience the first kink crossover dance festival our scene had experienced. Our recipe of cabaret, connection, learning, dance and play in a closed container of shared energy, intention and playfulness has been the guiding light of each successive event.
Riding on the success of the first beautiful event, several more events in NYC and London were run over the next 3 years and we rebranded as 3BX to reflect it was more a fusion festival than (only) traditional blues. Aggie (UK) joined the team and ran our last London events, for which we’re super grateful.
The pandemic and its impact on connection and in-person events put a hold to our story, so now we’re incredibly excited that our next event has been born, curated by two of our community who have been with 3BX from the start and love the ethos as much as the founders. We hope more beautiful history will be made in Valencia in 2025 and hope to see, dance and play with you there.
Our Hosts
This year’s hosts are Greta K & Nico from Barcelona! These two have been part of 3BX since day one, and they’ve been throwing epic dance (the city’s most legendary local fusion event Flow Fusion Dance) and Sex+ (Presence) events in Barcelona for almost a decade now. Every now and then, they organise wild weekend retreats and play parties. So this won’t be their first time blending a dance and kink event… but it will be their very first 3BX.
If you’ve ever shaken your booty at an international fusion event, chances are you’ve already grooved to one of Greta K´s DJ sets.
Who is it for?
If you are reading this, probably you! We welcome anyone who has an interest in dancing blues & fusion (other partner dancers are also welcome), and an existing active interest in kink. What do we mean by ‘existing active interest’ ? We intend this event to be a place for people to enjoy their passions, and don’t think it is necessarily the right place for someone with absolutely no previous experience or interest in kink to come and find out whether it is for them or not. This is the basis for our Conscious Invitation protocol, set out below.
Notwithstanding the above, we welcome people of all genders and none, all nationalities, colours, creeds, bodies, ages and abilities. Kink and dance for all, providing you are all for dance and kink!
Teachers and workshops
Polarity of Connection
Immerse yourself in the embodiment of Surrender and its companion, Direction. Through partnered movement and guided exercises that tip into subtle play, we’ll explore the essence of grounded yielding without collapse, and the power of clear guidance without brittle control. This class is about attunement, emotional nuance, and the strength of embodied choice.
This is an emotionally edgy class, designed for an edgy event. As always, you’re invited to participate at the depth that feels right for you. We’ll be working in couples and small groups, rather than rotating through the whole room.

Flouer Evelyn is a longtime kink educator, embodiment coach, and international partner dance instructor.who has been guiding people into connection through movement, sensuality, and play since 2005.

Her mission is to help people move through the world with more freedom and responsibility—both on the dance floor and in their sexuality. Expect warmth, clarity, and a generous dose of sensual, embodied magic.
Power Tools
An exploration of power dynamics within dance. We will use tone, resistance, acceleration and stillness to exchange power in fun, playful ways with our partners, based on some connection games which establish comfortable baselines and boundaries for an enjoyable dance.
As we establish safe and comfortable range, we will make a subtle nod to flamenco with its pride of posture and emotional intensity to introduce primal kink energy to a dance, and employs simple yet impactful alternative ways of leading, responding to, and transforming dance connections.
About Peter
Peter is the co-founder of 3BX and both a dancer and a kinkster for over 15yrs. Based in London, as an international Pro Dom, educator and coach, he has held spaces for people exploring kink and BDSM in the US, Australia and across Europe. Winner of Best Master at the UK Fetish Awards, he is also a safer-spaces trainer and his PlaySafe course has trained over 200 play monitors, and is used by over 10 events in UK, Ireland and Germany.
Influenced by blues dancing, bachata, kizomba and swing dancing, Peter enjoys bringing expressive energy to a dance floor and is looking forward to blending partner dance and co-created power dynamics to 3BX Valencia.
Bound Movement
We will explore the intersection between free movement and the tension of ropes. Through dance and basic shibari techniques, we will immerse ourselves in a sensory play of restriction, presence, and care.
We will learn the basic knot and a simple friction technique that will allow us to improvise aesthetic and functional patterns, accompanying the body in motion. It is not just about tying, but about how the body responds: to touch, to weight, to limits. An intimate, creative and collective experience where touch and physical listening will take centre stage.
About Glü Wur
GlüWur is a visual artist and performer specializing in the expressive use of rope.
Her work explores the body, tension, and space through performative practices that challenge both aesthetic and social norms. She uses rope not just as a tool, but as an extension of gesture and bodily language. Drawn to the strange, the marginal, and the uncomfortable, she seeks to break away from traditional forms of art to spark new ways of seeing and feeling
The Pause
Deliciously gentle breath play for intentional Fusion Dancers.
Breath is life. How can we harness it’s power in Fusion Dance? Through a journey of meditation, self-inquiery and playful co-creation, we will explore breath as a primary dance partner, powerful connection tool, presence enhancer and kinky toy.
Depictions of breath play in popular culture tend to be gendered, harsh and distant. This workshop is anything but that! This workshop is suitable for anybody with or without partner and/or experience.
About Dr. Skye von Nordheim
A wild hybrid of psychologist, dance and kink facilitator, Skye works with a wide range of modalities and methods that have one common goal: Making life longer, better and a little kinkier! Skye facilitates all things weird and wonderful such as Kinky Fusion Dance, Playful Submission and Dominance, Conscious Connection, Embodied Consent, Sensual Story Telling, Rites and Rituals – and Gentle Breath Play! Skye’s mission is to make play in dance fun, consensual and accessible for everyone.
Share Your Kinks, Show Your Skills!
Our skill share space is all about community learning, low pressure, and high curiosity. If you got a passion, a trick, or a technique you love, this is the space to share it. No need to be an expert, just bring your enthusiasm and an open mind.

Conscious Invitation
We aim to be inclusive, but at the minimum would like to ensure we are inviting people who genuinely share our open minded outlook and interests. This means we preface any invitation to our facebook group with an actual conversation with the invited person, in which we establish:
a) an existing interest in kink, before the disclosure of the event; and
b) an interest in dancing and/or learning to dance.
This is NOT an event or group for mass, speculative Facebook invites to your dancing friends. We ask that you honour this approach by first having a personal conversation with anyone you’re thinking of inviting. Let’s share the responsibility and accountability of keeping this space intentional and connected.
Code of Conduct
By attending 3BX, you agree that you have read, understand, and will follow the codes of conduct below.
If any problems or questions arise, you will seek out a 3BX staff member, distinguishable by their arm bands. They will be introduced at the start of each party and at the workshops. You may choose to deal with something yourself in-the-moment if it feels necessary, and if you feel safe and equipped to do so, but you will involve a staff member as early as possible.
If anyone is found to have acted against the letter or spirit of this Code of Conduct, a staff member will address this directly with them. 3BX reserve the right to take any action we deem appropriate in response to a conduct violation, including temporary or permanent exclusion from the event.
Diversity as a value
- Everybody is a valued member of the dance & kink community, no matter our level of experience, age, sex, gender expression, sexual preferences, body size, ethnicity, or religious beliefs. Difference makes diversity and diversity is a precious value.
Contributing to the Community
- Bringing our whole self, interest, creativity, listening, curiosity and willingness, makes the event more authentic, interesting and open.
- When introducing ourselves we can include the pronouns that we wish to be addressed with.
- In the shared space, it’s important to leave things just as we found them. That means cleaning up anything we’ve used and keeping our belongings tidy in the designated area.
- If we observe anything that seems inappropriate or out of place, please let a staff member know.
- This event wouldn’t be possible without you. Since everything here is handmade with love, we need your help to keep the magic alive. That means lending a hand with setup and takedown, helping at the door, sharing your skills and tools, or being part of the care team. Jump in and sign up for a shift as a Helper, join the Care Team… or however you feel called to contribute. Every bit of help makes a big difference!
Quick Rules
- Nudity is great in the kink area, but bottom bits should be covered on the dance floor.
- For the first two nights (Friday and Saturday), we intend this to be a non-penetrative environment, which encompasses any part of a person entering any part of another person, and includes insertions of toys – except for self-inserted jewellery. Sunday night more liberty is available in this regard and penetration is welcome.
- No static scenes on the dance floor. Dance takes priority in dance areas. It is ok if our dance evolves into play, but we must stay dancing in the dance room. For safety, keep all floggers, whips, crops, etc in the play area.
- Play takes priority in the kink areas. It is ok to dance in the kink areas, as long as it does not interfere with a scene.
- 3BX is a drug-free space, and we ask everyone to keep alcohol consumption in check so we’re all on the same wavelength.
- No phones and no photography! If we have to take a phone call, or answer an important text, please do so outside.
Engaging and Playing
- We believe in creating mature and responsible spaces. Before starting a scene, we’ll take a moment to set up the frame: talk about our desires, expectations, experience, risks, and boundaries. Let our partners know about any injuries, infections, or anything else that could affect play. Every interaction shall be RACK (Risk-aware consensual kink), always.
- We don’t do or engage into anything we don’t genuinely want to do.
- Time and space help shape the play. Keep in mind the speed and allow room for a dialogue to emerge. Being able to pause the play at any moment allows us to create authentic and honest interactions.
- In a space for exploration, having doubts is part of the game. So take your time, make your decisions responsibly and communicate clearly to others.
- Respect your own physical and emotional limits and those of others too. Boundaries can be readjusted at any time.
- Don’t engage with anyone who looks like they are in a scene, or are recovering from a scene. We also don’t step into a scene unless we’ve been invited.
- If things are unclear, find the way to make them clearer or ask for any help and support.
Invitations to Dance
- Dancing is a great way to start connecting with someone, but accepting a dance, or dancing with someone, isn’t necessarily an invitation to go beyond the dance or an invitation for sexual contact.
- We’re free to say yes or no to a dance, and we should respect and honour others when they do the same.
- If someone says no, accept their answer knowing that you are still a valuable member of the community, and move on to have just as much fun with someone else.
- Social dance floor is for fun, and we should not offer unsolicited dance advice to our partners.
- The distance in our dance is something to be adjusted between the two or more of us, although the closeness will always be indicated by the one who wants more distance.
Dance Floor
- We are responsible for adjusting our dance and therefore it is important to give space to be able to adjust distances and dance proposals. If our dance tools are not sufficient to adjust the dance, it is important to verbally communicate anything that needs to be adjusted.
- We will not attempt dance moves (such as aerials, kicks, lifts or overly large movements) that are potentially dangerous to my partner, the dancers around me, or ourselves. We will do our best not to step on, bump, or trip other dancers; we will be gracious if we accidentally do, and still gracious if someone does it to us.
- We must care for our own safety and the people we are dancing with. Being responsible for determining what we can and cannot accomplish on the dance floor, especially if any of us are in compromising positions such as light bondage.
Kink area
- Be mindful of the space you take up to not interfere with other scenes, whether by moving around too much or being overly loud. Back-swings can hurt!
- If you’re unsure about a practice or scene, check in with the Dungeon Master, they’ll be there to guide and help.
- Respect the Dungeon Monitors on duty, knowing that they are here to make sure all of us have the best time possible.
- Enter the play area with the person (or people) you’re planning to play with. You’re welcome to watch from the entrance or outskirts but no lurking inside.
- If we want to engage in any play other than impact, rope, or sensation (e.g., fire, medical, or sharps), please speak with a staff member either before or during the event to see if we can accommodate your interests and negotiate the best place for you to set up your scene.
- Aftercare is vital. Take time with your partners to land gently after a scene. Chat about what just happened, cuddle, breathe, whatever you need, before jumping back into the party.
Caring
- Bring towels or extra clothing for sweat on the dance floor and bodily fluids in the playroom.
- Show up fresh avoiding strong perfumes or lingering tobacco smells that can take too much space.
- The play space will be stocked with sanitiser, gloves, and condoms to help everyone play as safely and comfortably as possible
- If you have a cold, or any other condition which would be contagious, you will respect your fellow community members by not engaging in physical activities at the event, or by staying home and healing.
Where?
This year, we’re bringing you a fresh new location. We’re hitting pause on the big city vibe, so no London, no New York. Instead, we’re heading to the continent… all the way to Valencia, Spain.
The birthplace of paella, a city bursting with street art, nice beaches, oranges, and famous for legendary festivals like Las Fallas and, of course, home to one of the coolest blues and fusion dance gatherings in Europe. Gone now but never forgotten. (You might’ve danced there once).
The venue? Couldn’t be more perfect: La Escuela de Ruzafa at carrer Denia 32. A cozy, welcoming spot right near the heart of Valencia, in the vibrant Ruzafa neighborhood. A place that’s always had its doors open to dance, creativity, and alternative culture.
We’ll have a spacious dance floor to play and dance, plus a bar to chill and grab a drink between rounds — always in moderation, of course.
On Sunday, we’ll have a picnic jam at Parque Central, a lovely park near Ruzafa, about a 12-minute walk from the School. Bring something to eat or drink to share. We’ll have music, vermouth, and some outdoor dancing. Fingers crossed for good weather so we can enjoy a sunny day together.

What to expect
Three days to dance, explore, play, have fun and connect.
Friday
We’re kicking things off on Friday with a warm introduction, ice breaker games, and a dance floor to reconnect with old friends and start meeting new ones. Together, we will begin shaping a safe, sexy space where play can become part of the mix. The party will be all about colour and sparkle, reminding us that “Colour is the new black”. So bring your most colorful and shiny kinky outfit. Dress up with something sexy… but not too revealing, It’s time to transgress the transgression! Think playful, not naked.
Saturday
On Saturday, we’ll dive deeper with workshops, exploring the boundaries between dance and play. We will kick off the evening with our renowned cabaret, followed by dancing and the opening of our small dungeon. For this evening, wear whatever makes you feel irresistible, cover up or show off as much as you like. Just remember: on the dance floor, your bits gotta stay covered.
Sunday
Sunday will be all about connection and winding down: an outdoor picnic, more workshops, skill shares, and a final night play and dance party with different zones to explore. We want our Grand Finale to be unforgettable. So bring out your most eccentric outfits, your wildest alter ego, the version of you that only comes out on very special nights. We’ll kick things off with some drinks and bites, get dressed, glammed up, and painted together before diving into what we hope will be a truly unique ceremony.
