But that's not all. It's the Bon Temps Social Club 31st Anniversary!

We will also celebrate our decades of passing a good time together at this dance. We encourage you to wear a Gator By The Bay t-shirt or your BTSC t-shirt (yep, that grey one from the '90s when we did a big demo at the Del Mar Fair). Any other vintage club or Gator buttons, pins, hats, photos? Bring 'em too!

We have some fun anniversary celebration options for during the band's break including a special dance, a group photo, and, of course, let there be cake!

Wait! There's more!
Special Guest Dance Instructor this Saturday

Guest instructor, Erin Brandt, will be helping with Saturday's dance lesson from 6:30pm to 7:00pm. You may have seen or attended one of her dance workshops in the past at Gator By The Bay. We are fortunate to have her with us this Saturday!

About Mike: Hailing from Lawtell, Louisiana, Broussard is deeply entrenched in the zydeco music community, with childhood memories of sneaking into clubs and seizing the opportunity to perform on stage. Broussard revels in the joy of the musical ride, reflecting on his roots and providing his children with similar opportunities. Beyond the spotlight, the Broussard family bonds over their shared love for music as they play at trail rides and create melodies together. Whether performing on stage or enjoying their craft in more casual settings, Broussard emphasizes a harmonious atmosphere, declaring, "it's no bad vibes" in the world of his music

New to Zydeco? Check out the free online video showing the basics of the Zydeco step. We cover this at the dance but it helps to learn the weight shifts before class if you get the opportunity.
