Dancing with SoCoHo

Get Here!

How many times have you witnessed someone drag an unsuspecting victim out on the floor and step all over their feet?

Do you ever go to the bar and see other people gliding around the dance floor as light as a whisper, and wish it were you?

Are you bored with just standing like a bump on a pickle while other people are learning the latest line dance or two-step pattern?

Southern Country Houston invites you to join us on Thursday nights at our dance lessons. If you're shy, line dances don't require you to find a partner, they're great fun, and they provide good aerobic exercise. Couple dancing is great fun, too, and if you don't have a partner, we'll find one for you! There's always another dancer looking for someone to round the floor with, whether you prefer to lead or follow.

Our experienced instructors and veteran dancers are always there to help smooth out a step or move and answer your questions. So join us at The BRB any Thursday night from 8:00 until 10:30 PM.

Fun and Safety

To ensure that everyone has a good time, we practice defensive dancing at our lessons and when we're just out to have fun.

Getting around the dance floor

To avoid a wreck, it's important to keep moving with the crowd in the direction that the crowd is moving. Seems obvious, but sometimes dancers get "wrapped up" in each other and stop, or actually BACK UP on the dance floor!

It's NOT fun to run into someone or have someone run into you, so stay aware of your surroundings (just like when driving). Check out the dance floor map to determine where you should be for the kind of dance you're doing.

A few simple rules of etiquette

Remember that the dance floor is for dancing! If you're not dancing, you shouldn't be there. Don't use the dance floor as a shortcut from one side of the room to the other, or for catching up with old friends you haven't seen in awhile.

HEY! You in the sparkly shirt!

It's wonderful that you're now competing/performing, and we're happy to support you. But when the floor is crowded, there's probably not time or space for you to practice the fancy turns and hesitations that make your routine look so fabulous. Keep it moving and avoid big arm movements that might interfere with another dancer's bridgework. Or eyesight!

Show everyone the courtesy and respect that you would like, and have a GREAT time doing it!
