September dances are heating up! Our lessons now start promptly at 7pm, and you can count on social dancing starting by 8pm and going all the way to 11pm.
At 7:00 Addam will teach the line dance My Maria. Around 7:40, Micah will teach a beginner two-step lesson.
Following the lessons, DJ Rachelle will play a country mix of two-step, waltz, and west coast swing, with line dances every half hour to keep you moving all night long!
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!
