Learning to shag is fun! Bring your special person and travel back in time to when people danced together. The owner and teachers are super sweet and it's good fun. Thanks all!

I've been in the ball room dance scene a while but never got the chance to go to Loafers despite the good things I had heard. Finally, my friend and I got some free time and went to check it out and wanted to catch the tail end of the 2 step class. When we entered the person at the door was pretty rude. She would not let us in because we weren't members, ok fine. But then she said "all the single men have already left" which to my friend and I, we felt like she thought we were there to pick up men. To which we both in unison stated, "we don't care, we're both married, we're here to learn two step". Believe me, we're both in our 40s and, weren't dressed provocatively, I mean neither of us showed any cleavage so I'm not sure where her assumption came from. All of our questions from them on were met with dismissive responses. We were miffed by all of this and abruptly left. Not going back, she left abad taste in our mouths... Also, I know the person who runs the 2 step classes and I don't have the heart to tell her we'll never go to her class at Loafers because of the door person. I'm sure she'll figure it out.

Great place to dance. Dedicated to it, in fact. Wonderful floor, great people, even set some snacks out for us!

When entering the venue, the woman charged with membership and welcoming folks to the Western swing dance night immediately took an accusatory tone with me and my friend. She asked us how we had even found the event and seemed reluctant and defensive about letting us in. We were wearing dancing clothes and had come prepared to learn and be respectful. We were completely sober. I don’t know if I looked too young, queer, or Jewish, but she was straight up angry at us for finding the event. My friend had called during the day to make sure the event was still happening and we drove almost an hour to be there.She discouraged us at every opportunity and even searched my bag and told me I was not allowed to bring in a water bottle. She made us feel extremely unwelcome. This treatment was not the same for anyone else who entered, so maybe you won’t be similarly treated as a trespasser. When asked if she wanted us to leave, she tried to back pedal and apologize, but the damage was done. Thanks but no thanks- you made my visit sour and did not provide any hospitality. I hope this venue can find a less offensive person with more appropriate social skills to help them host what was otherwise a fine experience.As an educator, I know the importance of students feeling safe and accepted in their learning environment. It took me almost 30 minutes just to shake the feeling that I was not who they wanted there, so learning became a challenge. Other folks were fairly kind, but watch out for this lady because whatever bitterness she has towards the world may be placed in you.

Loafers.... it's fabulous! There was a mixture of people of all ages. Everyone was having good, clean fun. The music was great! The food was delicious. The bar tender was very efficient and fast. Friendly people in a friendly atmosphere. It was my very first visit, but I was with a friend who had been there many times before.If you want to have a good time and you enjoy meeting people, dancing, and enjoying a good cocktail, this is a great venue to check out!I will definitely be going back again. Even though we drove 100 miles to get there! Next time, I'll get a hotel room so I can stay later.

Excellent venue! We were a touch confused at the entrance with applying for membership. But the woman at the ticker counter was lovely and very kind. We paid the fee which was expected. And are looking forward to membership! Excellent class spent an hour learning an intermediate / advanced dance move. We had a great time. Can't say enough good things about loafers.

The wifey and I went for Dance lessons... Had to buy an annual membership, but that was only $10 and the 1st lesson was free.The dance instructor and the entire Loafers staff there were all incredibly friendly and made it fun. Even the other dance class members were fun snd helpful.

Looks like a nice dance floor but couldn’t get in. They didn’t advertise it was members only. Looks like they don’t care to make any money.

Loafers is a private club and these people are not members. Sometimes, folks will come after partying at another club and want to get in to use restroom or grab another drink. It is posted at our door that we are private. Many times, we feel they could already be under the influence or we are uncertain as to how much they have drank. It is really unfair that folks can post negative post and that venue can’t explain the real deal. One that posted was trying to come in and we felt she had already had too much of a party and refused to leave.No one was rude, just firm and she didn’t do well with that.

If my opinion mattered, then it would. But it doesn't. But the owner was mean to me, and that's not cool. And I wanted you to know.
Fun and relaxed atmosphere. They have food, brings the community together, I think they do lessons, shag, and I think country sometimes.

Great dance floor. GREAT DJ
Membership required. Not advertised on Google. Looked like fun place for country swing dancing but couldn’t get in
