Update from Atlanta Country Nights.
Unfortunately, we had to END ACN at Boxwood Social Hall. While the dances averaged over 100 people, the venue didn't make enough money from door and bar/food sales for the dance to continue. Venue has a price/cost so we just couldn't make it work. We may continue to look for another venue in the Cobb County area. If you know or come across a potential venue, please email me at Dans1601@Yahoo.com
Starting December 1st,, ACN at Brimstone Tavern in Alpharetta. This will be a couples dancing ONLY dance. You do NOT have to be a couple. Singles are welcomed. There will be plenty to dance with. No line dancing. (the venue is not big enough for both). Admission to the dance will be $10 in advance or $12 the day of the dance or at the door. Plenty of two stepping (at least TWO two-step dances in a row most of the night), along with the other couple dances. This dance will be a "dinner dance" like Atlanta has not had in years. Since this is a restaurant, the dance will have waitress service to your table. Dinner and drinks. Menu consist of finger food to pasta and steak dinners. Admission at the door will start at 7 and dance will run from 8 to 11:30.
Advance tickets for just $10 are NOW on sale at Atlanta Country Nights
Also, Brimstone Tavern LINE DANCE nights is booming,, Monday & Wed nights. Julie Griggs teaches a VERY beginner lesson at 6pm. Then regular lesson at 7:30. Dance is then from 8:30 to 11. FREE ADMISSION. All ages welcomed.
Thanks

GAINESVILLE:
Come dance with me Wednesday night at Big Daddy's in Gainesville. We've been having so much fun. Last week, we started working on Toxic to Project by Chase McDaniel. Y'all did great. This week, we'll add a new beginner dance to help balance out the difficulty. I'm thinking Damn Drunk choreographed by Teri Rogers. We'll also keep going with Country Boy Lovin' for our third week.
In case you didn't know, there's food now at Big Daddy's. There's plenty to spend that $10 minimum purchase on. Food, drinks, snacks, tips. Bring friends.
