Hey, folks, tonight, December 13, closes out our year of country-western dancing at North Hall (but you line dancers are still on for the 28th at Pitchers!). The DC Rawhides wish all of you warm, safe, and happy holidays between now and …
… our first dances in 2026! Two nights at North Hall per month have been added to the Event Calendar for January, February, and March. All but the last of these will be on Saturday nights, the last will be on Friday. We’ll continue adding more dates as we get them.
Come dance with us on FRIDAY, September 19! Come to learn; come to see old friends and make new one; or just come to watch and hang out. Feel free to drop in as early as 6:30pm if you want to practice or would like some help with two-step or a particular line dance. Malina will teach the line dance “Cowgirls” at 7:00 pm. At 8:00 pm, Brian will spin music for three hours of open dancing.
Our dance angels will take anyone on the floor who is learning or needs a partner, so no experience is necessary.
We have a suggested $10 donation at the door (credit cards with a small service charge added). Larger donations are accepted, appreciated, and help us keep dancing. We’ll have free pizza while it lasts and full bar service. All bar purchases must be made by debit or credit card. You must be 21 to enter. Regardless of age, everyone must show an ID and pass security to enter. The dance is run by a not-for-profit.
Our goal is to be affirming and fun, to create a dance space where all levels can participate. If you attend, please follow dance etiquette so that everyone can have the best and safest dance experience:
For two-step, waltz, and shadow, follow the line of dance (counterclockwise).
No drinks on the dance floor.
Slower dancers in the middle.
Don’t stand on the dance floor.
Dance what the deejay calls.
If you don’t know a line dance, do not get in the way of those who do.
Do not touch anyone in a manner that they might consider inappropriate.

This dance will feature the fourth iteration of “Battle for the Belt.” Wear a numbered bib and dance all the line dances. There is a junior and senior division. Those who place earn a trophy. The winner in the senior division takes home the belt. Battle for the Belt will in no way disrupt the normal dancing.
