Two-Step Tuesday with Countryside Ride and Dance Lessons with Robbie 2026

Head to Showdown Saloon for a honky-tonk night that pairs dance lessons with live music from Countryside Ride. The evening kicks off with a dance lesson, giving newcomers a chance to learn the two-step before the band takes the stage. Countryside Ride, a five-piece honky-tonk band founded in 2005, plays original music and traditional standards, drawing on the sounds of classic country and western. Their sets are known for keeping dancers on their feet, and they've shared stages with acts like Wayne "The Train" Hancock and Rosie Flores.

This is a 21+ event, so it's a grown-ups' night out in Portland's Southeast. The combination of instruction and live honky-tonk makes for an engaging evening. The band's long history in the Pacific Northwest means they know how to work a room, and their marathon-style sets are built for a crowd that loves to move.
