    I loved going dancing here! I think it can feel a little clique-y at first, but really everyone is…read morevery friendly. I went every other Friday to the Ballroom Dance Nights (BYOB). The other Fridays they had Country/Western dances. These are open dance nights, sometimes 12 people show up, sometimes 70-100 people. Only $5 per person to get in, something like 7PM-11PM. Sometimes they have special parties, which are a lot of fun, like on holidays. The Halloween party is just great, and you can win free lessons. And occasionally the place is rented out for private parties. You just have to check their calendar. It is available for weddings and I think it would be great for a wedding reception, particularly if you could get the staff to stay and liven up the dancing. The people who go here really vary- some people were high school age, especially home school students, soldiers from Ft Hood came sometimes, older people also. One person I met was 90 years old, and a very good dancer. Really anyone who appreciates ballroom dance. You don't have to be very good either (and they offer private lessons) because people are very patient and will usually help you learn at least the basic steps. The music is good too, some old stuff some new. Cumbia, line dances, tango, swing, foxtrot, Lady Gaga, MJ, Nat King Cole, if you can dance to it they play it. Also they take requests sometimes through the email list. The place is in OLD downtown Temple, on Main Street. When I went there alone the management would walk me out to my car in the evening sometimes, as it is dark and deserted there at night. The building they are in is really old, with a dance floor, stage, wooden floor, tables, bar (no alcohol, they sell snacks and soda, etc, it is BYOB), it used to be some kind of department store. The owners restored it, it has a great deal of charm. It has a second story window that a person sits at and DJs all the music. It is painted like an aquarium, which is funny. Anyway, if you want to hang out in a mature but fun place and meet lots of nice people, I highly recommend you check it out.

    I took Progressive Two Step lessons here and LOVED it. I actually met someone…read moreon Match and we had our first date here and it turned out great :) Love the instructor, Rudy, he's got a wonderful personality, great dance instructor, with a wealth of knowledge on all forms of dancing. I plan on taking Swing lessons there soon.
