The Schedule
Where to go tonight
Not sure which venue to pick? Here's the short version. Broken Spoke is the most iconic - the last true Texas dance hall. White Horse has live music every night and a strong dancing crowd. Sagebrush is where our lessons happen and the floor fills up fast on weekends. Sam's Town Point is a hidden gem in South Austin with serious dancers.
For a road trip, Gruene Hall is 45 minutes south and worth every mile. Luckenbach is an hour west and feels like stepping back in time.
