So I’ve been here for almost five years and it’s taken me this long to try line dancing at the World’s Largest Honky Tonk! I know, I can’t believe it either. Last Thursday, three of us found ourselves at Billy Bob’s in Fort Worth, a little nervous. It’s quite serious and the one’s that were dancing before the class obviously had done this before… many times.
Every Thursday, Billy Bob’s hosts a “free” line dancing class. It isn’t exactly “free”, there is a $2 cover to get in but parking is free (right across the street) and really in this day in age how much can you really get for $2.00. So first, we were watching these seasoned dancers which made us a little nervous but soon enough the class started and provided some inspiration that maybe we could do it too!
Once the class started, the dance floor filled up just about as much as it could and the class started. The teacher has apparently been teaching for a long time (I’ve heard around 30 years) and he’s really good. We learned the Boot Scooters Boogie – really easy, really fun. There’s different variables that you could throw in and the steps were even provided on a written sheet so you could practice at home (for those who are forgetful like me) so you can come back and show off your sweet moves later on!
Not only do they have line dancing classes, they also have two stepping classes. The two step is about the most fun you can have dancing with a partner (in my opinion). I just need to find a nice cowboy to take the class with me!
If you happen to be in Ft. Worth – definitely check out the class. If you are visiting, put it on your must to do list. You can’t come to Texas and not go to a Honky Tonk or dance hall and if you’re there – you HAVE to get out there and shake some tail feathers!
YAY! I love Billy Bob’s! I havent line danced in years and i do love a good two-step.
Me too! So much fun!
How fun! I’ve never gone to a line dance class. And what better place to do it at than at Billy Bobs?? Great post!!
Thank you for linking up with us.

You’re welcome! 🙂 You should try it out at least once! You never know – you might get hooked!
Oh my gosh! That class would be so much fun! I have always wanted to learn how to line dance (and two step!). And that you can learn at a place called Billy Bob’s makes it even more awesome. ;o) I’m about to go research line dance DVDs. Even though I’m in the south, it’s not the TEXAN south, so if there are line dancing places around here, I don’t know about them!
I’m sure you have a ton of them near you! You are near Nashville after all, right?! If all else fails – come here and I’ll go with ya!
