Free Dance Lessons
Dance Lessons are always happening at the Bon Temps Social Club Dance Pavilion
If you’re smiling, you’re doing it right. It’s a Bon Temps way of life!
It doesn’t really matter if you can’t dance, might dance or just plain won’t dance, as long as you’re having fun!
But, just in case you want to shake, shimmy or stomp your feet in other than free-style, there will be free lessons by some of the finest dance instructors in the country to help guide your feet into the rhythms of various styles of dance. The Bon Temps Social Club’s No Fault Dance Policy will be enforced. The rule is: If you’re smiling, you’re doing it right. If your dance partner is also smiling – everyone is having fun!
Check out our fantastic 2024 roster of dance instructors below.
