Elizabeth is the founder, promoter & catch all for Blue Bella. After returning from an incredible time dancing at the 2007 Down Home Blues event in St. Louis, she was determined to bring blues to San Diego. So it began, with pre-opening workshops at another location, and workshops in winter '07 & '08 with top instructors to help well-round the community. She feels that she can always improve her dance & teaching skills, so she took 2 different dance teacher training retreats, one of which was by invite only, and 14 others attended. Elizabeth is more than happy to teach private lessons to individuals or groups.

Bonnie is a supporter of the blues community and Blue Bella since it's inception. She helped publicize the opening with her artful flyer designs and is a frequent DJ for Blue Bella. Bonnie currently is administrator for the Blue Bella event page on Facebook
