Welcome in September with Stomptown Social Dancing!
Our lessons now start promptly at 7pm, and you can count on social dancing starting by 8pm and going all the way to 11pm.
Our first lesson will be the line dance Blue Jeans On taught by Jessica starting at 7pm. Around 7:45 Jane will teach a beginner two-step lesson, covering the basics of partner dance and getting everyone set for a great night of social dancing!
Starting by 8pm and going on up until 11pm, a fantastic mix of two-step, west coast swing, line dances and waltz will give you ample opportunity to dance your feet off!
We don't have a cover charge at this venue, but your donations help us continue our mission which includes renting venues, paying instructors and joining in on Pride events, so please donate as you are able! We have a table set up by the DJ with a cash jar and QR codes for app donations.
Remember to tip your bartender!
Check out our website at www.stomptown.org for examples of the styles of dance we do and our line dance library!

Escape Bar and Grill meets ADA requirements. The floor is all one level with a hard surface. Two single stall bathrooms are labeled "Sit" and "Sit or Stand, you do you." There will be dim, colorful, possibly moving (disco ball style) lighting. Music will be playing and background noise can be loud.
Parking is available in the small lot or on the street, but DO NOT park at the lot west of Prescott- they will tow! >:-(
