Though Country-Western dancing has a long, illustrious history dating back to the days of the independent west, cowboys, and barn dances, it didn't become a part of popular culture until the 1980s hit movie, Urban Cowboy unleashed Country-Western danceclubs throughout the US urban areas. Watching John Travolta sensuously leading Debra Winger around the Pasadena, Texas Gilley's brawling, bull-riding nightclub dance floor in a Texas Two Step made the dance among the most popular of the club-going age.
Today, there are fewer Country Western dance clubs than in their 80s heyday, with club closings reportedly due to the fact that Country-Western dancers are there to dance rather than drink, making many clubs too unprofitable to keep their doors open. However, this is an advantage for true Country-Western dance fans for a couple of reasons. The clubs that remain are dedicated to the music, dance, and its fans rather than the "meat market" approach of the fad clubs. Communities grow within the country dance clubs today, making them a fun and safe entertainment alternative, especially for women.
Country danceclubs are unlike other night clubs that cater to heavy drinking and the "hook-up" culture. Though opportunities for romance are abundant, the interest of most club patrons is to dance the night away, offering all the opportunity to have fun. The better country dance clubs offer free lessons to allow even newcomers to country western dancing to get on the floor and start two-stepping or line dancing without worrying about being clueless. If you've never tried it before, you owe it to yourself to try out a country dance club in your area. You'll never know the fun you're missing out on until you do!
