Ever wondered what happens when *dancing* meets *hiking*?
After the success of our beautiful [first attempt](https://www.meetup.com/shortwalk/events/311475957) to make you dance and hike at the same event, we are crazy enough to offer you a second edition. The idea is quite the same as in the first edition, we meet and finish at the same place as before (we just loved the Stinne bar!) but we will attempt a completely different path.

Join us for a day where smooth moves meet muddy shoes — a **bluesy hike in nature** (around **17 km in a flat loop**). We’ll chase opportunities to dance *before, during, or after* the hike, depending on our energy, the weather, and the groove.
This is a **very easy hike** — completely flat, no climbing, beginner friendly path. If you can walk, you can dance your way through it!
**Meeting Point**
[Café Stinne](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Caf%C3%A9+Stinne/@50.9253035,4.1517574,510m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x47c3be3b86f175a3:0x387b622216794278!8m2!3d50.9253035!4d4.1517574!16s%2Fg%2F11clsxsskr?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MTAwNy4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D).
We’ll meet in the relaxed, easy-going café Stinne that’s happy to let us set the mood.
They’ll play any **Spotify playlist** we want, whether we’re dancing on the terrace (speaker provided!) or, if space allows, inside.
🕒 **Agenda**
**12:00 – 13:00**
🎶 *Social* *Dancing warm-up (in hiking clothes)*
A gentle start to get our bodies moving — no dance shoes or fancy outfits needed. If you prefer, just grab a drink and chat.
**13:00 – 17:30**
🥾 *Easy hike – around 17 km flat loop*
We’ll enjoy nature, chat, laugh, and may stop for spontaneous blues dancing moments when the vibe feels right.
**17:30 – 21:00**
🍽️ *Dinner, drinks & dancing*
We’ll finish where we started — with food, music, and relaxed dancing to wrap up the day.
🚗 **Transport**
Public transport is *possible*, but let’s say… adventurous.
**Carpooling is recommended** — it’s more reliable and more fun when you start the socializing early.
🎒 **What to Bring**

* Snacks for the trail
* 1–2 liters of water
* A charged phone (and maybe an extra battery for tunes or photos)
* Comfortable hiking clothes & hiking shoes *(not your beautiful dance shoes!)*
* This is an experimental event, so please bring your sense of humour and good vibes ! — and maybe a rain jacket, just in case.

💧 **Weather Policy:**
We don’t cancel for rain. This is Belgium — if you wait for perfect weather, you’ll never hike. Dancing in the rain just adds more soul to the Blues.
**Acknowledgement of member responsibility and release of liability**
You should be fit enough if you want to take part, and you are responsible for yourself and your safety. Know your limits and choose to participate or not accordingly. The organizers in this group are all volunteers, they are not experts or guides, and are just gathering like-minded people for the only purpose to walk/hike/enjoy together. By participating in this event, you agree to release the organizers/hosts from any responsibility/liability, and by signing up for the hike you fully agree with these terms.
