When is the last time you took dance lessons? On Wednesday evenings, when there’s not a concert or special event, Billy Bob’s Texas (2520 Rodeo Plz, 817-624-7117) offers free line dance lessons at 7pm. The cover is typically only $3-5 any given night, but on Wednesdays, it’s ladies’ night with free admission for women. Then on Saturdays, there is a Lunch & Line Dance special at “high noon,” featuring free line dance lessons, and the on-site Honky Tonk Kitchen will knock off 20% from lunch for dancers. Both weekly events are subject to change based on the show calendar. For details, visit BillyBobsTexas.com.
