Swing and Square Dance Party with Lessons and Live Bands

This lively evening at Showdown Saloon blends old-time square dancing with swing lessons and live string bands. The night kicks off with a square dance called by Bex Bee and accompanied by The Allemande Brothers, creating a participatory, foot-stomping atmosphere. After the square dance, attendees can learn swing steps during a dedicated lesson session before the music shifts to the energetic sounds of Gabbalina & the Thilo Kluth Trio.

With a lineup that includes fiddler and caller Bex Bee, the Allemande Brothers, and Gabbalina & the Thilo Kluth Trio, the event offers a mix of traditional dance forms and live performance. The all-ages setting at Showdown Saloon makes it a welcoming experience for both seasoned dancers and newcomers looking to try something new in Portland's vibrant music scene.
