New: Thursday Night Stomp in 2020
We're making some big changes to Thursday Night Stomp in 2020: we're partnering with Big Babes Tavern in South Portland to offer our dances on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of the month.
2nd Thursdays are band nights and 4th Thursdays are DJ nights
Beginning Lesson 7:30-8pm, Music and Dancing 8-10pm
Big Babes Tavern, 60 Ocean St. South Portland
Please note: There is no cover charge but to ensure our dances succeed at this new location, we need our dancers to pitch in: please help support Big Babes by ordering food and drinks. Come early for dinner, stay late for a post-dancing snack. If you plan to go light on food and drinks, please contribute to the band's tip jar. It takes the generosity of every single dancer to make this new location a success!
