Honkytonk Highway Line Dancing Social

Honkytonk Highway brings its line dancing social to Low Places Digbeth on Saturday 24 October, with the dancefloor opening at 7.00pm and a hosted social running from 7.00pm to 11.30pm. After that, the dancefloor stays open late, so you can keep going well past the hosted part of the night. It's an all-request evening, meaning the music comes from what the room wants to dance to rather than a set list.

Low Places Digbeth is a venue the organisers call 'Birmingham's hottest new dive bar', and they've gone for a US bar-style line-dancing vibe here, complete with neon lights. The hosted social is the main event, but once it wraps at 11.30pm, a resident DJ takes over to keep the floor moving. It's billed as a party for dancers of any level, and it does away with formal teaching — there are no lessons to sit through, just dancing from the start.

One thing that sets it apart is the 'Mini Stomp', a condensed, low-pressure line dance competition that pauses the dancefloor for two songs. It's not a full-blown contest, just a short break in the night, with awards presented around 10.00pm. If you're more of a watcher than a dancer, you can still come along: spectators get free entry to the bar without a wristband, so you can grab a drink and watch the room without needing to step out onto the floor yourself.

On the practical side, dancefloor wristbands are £7 plus booking fee via Skiddle, and if you want to enter the Mini Stomp, there's a £5 entry fee paid on the night. The whole thing is strictly over-18s, so children and babies aren't permitted. For those who've already got their steps down and are looking for something a bit more advanced, the organisers point experienced dancers toward 'STOMP IT OUT 2', which runs at the same venue in January 2027.
