Our goal is to be welcoming, affirming, and fun—to create a dance space where all levels can participate. Schedule in is on our Facebook banner, Instagram story highlights, and webpage. If we reach capacity, no one is admitted until others leave. We will post a notice to social media when this happens. Tips to ensure everyone has a good time and stays safe: If you attend, please follow dance etiquette so that everyone can have the best and safest dance experience: follow the line of dance (counter clockwise ); 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 way they might consider inappropriate.
We’ve added dances at all three of our usual locales for October, November, and December to our event calendar. Check it out when planning your autumn dancing.
Come dance with us on July 26! 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. Tyler will teach the line dance “Caliente” at 7:00 pm. At 8:00 pm, Mindy and Leah 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’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.
