Tonight DJ Joe White will dust off his cowboy boots & line dance playlists to bring some great line dancing music back to South Jersey line dancers.
Joe White DJ'ed and taught line & couples dances in the Philadelphia area at Prospectors for years. Playing GOOD dancing music, he had a knack for pairing new songs with classic dances. It's been about a year since his departure from Prospectors where he is greatly missed by many boot-scootin' bar-goers. "Where's the Hell Yeah button" and "Wouldn't miss it for the WORLD" are what some said on facebook event, The Return of DJ Joe White. Choreographer of the line dance, 4 Sure , Joe keeps the dance floor moving.
If you can't make it out tonight, we've heard some buzz about another DJ Joe White appearance at 38 West on July 29th.

Spring is coming next weekend! The animals will be waking up, you should come out of hibernation too. First things first, peruse 38step.com and brush up on your dance steps, of course!
Atlantic City Rodeo
Rodeo & Beer Festival coming to Atlantic City on the same weekend!
Now THAT sounds like a fun weekend! April 1 - 3, Atlantic City will be full of cowboys & beer. Suds & Studs & Spurs... ooh la la!
Rodeo tix start @ $16. You're darn right I'll be in town that weekend, actin' like a FOOL!
The first weekend in April, what kind of fool will you be?
Bally's Wild Wild West Casino - Oh how we would love to see them get some good line dancing events going! Hopefully the Atlantic City rodeo will kick up a little inspiration for their promotions department. All they need is a wooden dance floor and a decent DJ who is familiar with line dancing... someone to get the word out and viola.
Friendly Tavern reopened last summer. It's an old favorite dancin' destination for many. Some yelp-ers said,
"Great country music with plenty of dancing. Live bands are a plus. So glad to have country dancing close again. Great, diverse crowd with music for old and young alike."
"Saturday we found this new spot about an hour's drive from NE Philly. Located in Carneys Point NJ, the newly reopened under new management, Friendly Tavern sure lives up to its name is worth the trip"
"The lights are dim, Beer is cold, and the Music is Loud! Line dancing was the Deal! The crowd aged from Mid-30's to 70 years old. I'm Sure this place is going to be a Hit! "
djharry2189 has a few videos from Friendly's. The Friendly Tavern has its perks and its drawbacks but a must-try for post-rodeo rowdiness. Which leads me to...
Cowtown Rodeo - Every Saturday Night 7:30 PM
May 28, 2011 - Sept. 24, 2011
Dig out your kickers 'n wranglers, order a new white dress (so excited they're in this season), and plan some nights out! Do it up like us gals did in "Line Dancing, Concert Tix, The Rodeo Song (sans the music, poetry, art, singing, rhythm, humor and sound) ", grab a grill & some beverages (Cowtown Rodeo lets you bring in a cooler), and assign your designated driver (it's a long walk)... party it up rowdy rodeo style!
Cowboy boots are trendy this spring! Here are the boot's I'd drool over, ponder and after consideration, justify splurging on ;)
Cowboy boots: quality wins over quantity!!!
Gotta have great cowgirl foot candy!! Especially since you'll be rockin' your boots for a long time.
Ideal line dancing boots have a leather sole for sliding, scootin' & shuffling... as cute as some fashion boots may be, they didn't make the list. There's nothing worst than trying to dance in rubber sole boots... well, maybe trying to dance in flip flops but that's another story.
Click for in-store boot details.
Line Dance Girl's boots:
I bought these from "Cowboy Blue" at Trail West in Nashville in 2008. The quickly replaced my favorites.
The Brigantine Elks is having a Nashville Night on April 17, 2010. Dance lessons begin at 6:30pm and the Four Wheel Drive country band will be playing.

Jake Owen played Prospectors last Saturday night. It was a really good show! He played all the songs I had hoped like Don't Think I Can't Love You, Yee Haw, Startin' With Me, Something About A Woman and 8 Second Ride. It was also great to hear his lesser known songs like Tell Me and Cherry On Top as well as a few newbies. It seems a lot of country singers break out a couple oldies... Jake did a little snippet of Luckenbach Texas which I loved and Man with a Slow Hand... which totally jived with Jake's sexiness. [@linedancegirl fans herself, whoo]. His drummer had this humorously groovy engaging factor going on. Jake Owen let out the spunky side when he busted out with some Fresh Prince of Bell Air, Snoop Dog among his old school hip hop meets country music medley. It was a really good show, love his music! I would definitely go see him again!!
