Event Calendar

Our dance events usually begin with a lesson, typically a line dance, followed by several hours of open dancing: a mix of couples dances, line dances, and circle dances (El Paso, Barn Dance).

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.

21 and up only – valid ID required to enter
