Two-Step Honky Tonk Dance with Arty Hill & the Long Gone Daddys on Friday 5/9/25!

Free Two-Step Lesson included with price of admission from 8:30-9:00pm with Sharon Schiliro and Michael Hart of Dancing by the Bayou!

Social dance with the band 9:00-11:30pm

From Baltimore, Md to Central Texas, Arty Hill packs the bars and dance floors with his unique brand of modern Honky Tonk. He sings with an "'everyman' quality…reminiscent of Johnny Cash." (Vintage Guitar Magazine). His songs - marrying the soul of classic country with the wry storytelling of Guy Clark and Townes Van Zandt - have been recorded by the Grammy-nominated Kenny and Amanda Smith Band, Alt-Country pioneer Jason Ringenberg, Rockabilly Queen Bee Marti Brom, and Austin’s Texas Sapphires, among others. His recordings have topped the FAR (Freeform American Roots) chart, and his songs have appeared in two seasons of "Gun it with Bennie Spies" on the Sportsman Channel and in the 2017 movie "I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore" starring Elijah Wood. Arty is also co-founder of the Hank Williams Songwriting Workshop in Montgomery, AL, and and instructor at the Augusta Heritage Center's Classic Country Week in Elkins, WVa. His 2021 release, "A Thousand Smoky Nights," features Arty and his top notch band, the Long Gone Daddys. It includes 11 new original tunes, plus a re-imagined version of the Arty and Linda Hill penned '"Mascara Tears," featuring vocalist Michelle Hannan. Telecaster master and legendary Lost Planet Airman Bill Kirchen says: "From the brash R n R of 'A Twang coming On' to the open heart surgery of 'Are You Sleeping,' there's a wealth of real deal Honky tonk in here."

6:15pm - 7:15pm Workshop | 7:15pm - 8:30pm Practica

Part of what makes lambada so much fun is the opportunities it provides for explosive musicality. In this workshop, we'll join Ashley and practice using what you know of lambada to connect with the music in different ways both on your own and with a partner. We'll also play with adding your own flavor and style into your dance so you can have even more fun.

After the workshop, we have our lambada practica so you can practice some more with other lambada dancers. Located at the Glen Echo Backroom Ballroom. Ticket includes the evening zouk class at 8:30pm - 9:30pm and social at 9:30pm - 1:00 am in the Backroom Ballroom

Tickets are $30 at the door. $22 until 3/1 and $27 until 3/7
