Pearl Street PubBeginner Line Dancing Lessons In South Burlington
Enjoy an upbeat evening of line dancing with Better in Boots at the South Burlington Senior Center. Designed for beginners yet welcoming experienced dancers, this six week series introduces new routines at a comfortable pace. Each session breaks steps down clearly, practices them together, then puts everything to music, with new dances added weekly and recent material reviewed to build confidence. Registration is managed by South Burlington Parks and Recreation. If committing to the full series is not possible, drop in participation is available for $10 cash per class. The night begins with simple warmups, followed by guided instruction, and finishes with open dancing that includes music requests. Boots are not required, just wear something comfortable. This is single line dancing rather than a couples class, and no prior experience is needed. Bring a clean, dry pair of shoes to change into, since outside or wet footwear is not permitted on the dance floor. Stay hydrated, alcohol is not allowed, and water or other hydrating drinks may be brought. Those considering bringing children should check the organizer’s pinned post for important details.

Davy Knowles
Open to all ages, this performance spotlights Davy Knowles, a guitarist and songwriter recognized for a distinct voice across acoustic, mandolin, National steel, and high-powered electric styles. He first drew wide attention with Back Door Slam’s 2007 debut Roll Away, then followed with Coming Up For Air produced by Peter Frampton. Since then he has toured with and shared stages with artists such as Jeff Beck, The Who, Joe Bonamassa, Kid Rock, Lynyrd Skynyrd, George Thorogood, Brian Setzer, the Sammy Hagar led supergroup Chickenfoot, and Joe Satriani. His albums have reached the upper tier of the Billboard Blues chart, and his television appearances include Jimmy Kimmel Live and CBS Good Morning America. His reach has even extended beyond Earth, performing live to the International Space Station from mission control in Houston while astronauts Nicole Stott and Ron Garan carried his music on their missions. Expect a set that can range from the classic rock punch of Three Miles From Avalon to the raw acoustic pulse of 1932 and the reflective folk of 2023’s If I Should Wander. Whether playing solo with an acoustic guitar or leading a blues rock trio with a well worn Telecaster, he brings a versatile and commanding presence onstage.
