Friday Question of the Day: “Country/Western Dance Bars??” Dance Bars in General?

“Dear PoPville,

I, like many of my DC friends, came from the South. The decision to leave was a conscious one, but there are things I miss about it… like line dancing. Or just country music in general. My question is, are there any good country/western dance bars in the DMV?

I know that Hill Country’s Boot Bar has live music on Wednesday nights, but it’s just not enough. My research only turned up this 2011 article, which seemed to receive a good amount of support, so I wanted to see if there have been any changes in the country scene since then. If not, happy to just keep the conversation alive – if anyone is ready to open a bar that welcomes boots, hats, and fringe, I am prepared to patronize it. Southerners, unite (but only to dance, please)!”

And while we’re on the subject of dancing, where are some of your general favorite places to dance these days?
