Tips, playlists, and everything you need to feel at home on an Austin dance floor
Austin has live country music and two-stepping every night of the week. The best spots for dancing are Broken Spoke, White Horse, Sagebrush, Sam's Town Point, and Continental Club. Check the schedule above for tonight's bands and set times.
Broken Spoke is Austin's most legendary honky tonk - open since 1964 and a true Texas institution. For East Austin energy, White Horse is a local favorite. Sagebrush on South Congress is great for dancing with multiple stages. Sam's Town Point is beloved for its old-Austin dive bar feel with live music every night.
Austin honky-tonk two-step is a regional style of Texas two-step that developed on Austin's small, packed honky-tonk dance floors. Traditional progressive two-step travels counter-clockwise around a big floor. The Austin style starts on the slow (slow-slow-quick-quick) and blends swing-dance turns into a compact frame that fits a crowded room. Read the full history, with sources →

Yes - Austin has live music and two-stepping every single night of the week. Weekends are especially lively at Broken Spoke, White Horse, and Sagebrush. Check the schedule above for this weekend's bands and times at all 17 venues.
No partner needed. Austin's honky tonk scene is incredibly welcoming - most venues have a mix of solo dancers, couples, and groups. At Double or Nothing Two-Step lessons, partners are rotated so everyone gets to dance with everyone.
Come as you are - Austin honky tonks are casual and welcoming. Cowboy boots are ideal for the dance floor (leather soles slide better than rubber) but not required. Jeans and a comfortable top work perfectly. Most venues are 21+ so bring your ID.
