About Our Lessons

Rain Country lessons at Cuff Country are always free. Please tip the instructor - we suggest $2-3 on Wednesdays and Fridays, and $5-10 for Saturday workshops, but no one is turned away for lack of funds.

No partner is required. We will find one for you, and we rotate partners frequently during the lessons to ensure that everyone gets to dance with a variety of people. But if you bring your partner with you and don't want to rotate, you're not required to trade dance partners.

There may be a cover charge at the Cuff Complex on Fridays after 9 pm, and on select special event nights. Card-carrying Rain Country members get in free all night on regular Fridays.

Our DJs are happy to take requests; tipping them is much appreciated. Requests are more easily honored if they are made earlier in the evening.

The best way to show appreciation for our host venue is to buy a beverage and tip the bartender.
