Learn a Nashville Line Dance Before You Ever Reach Broadway

Broadway's floors are full of people who already know the routine. This is one of the rooms where it gets taught, in a mirrored studio a short drive from the honky-tonks, in a fixed hour built for people who have never tried.

Learn a line dance before you hit Broadway.

Broadway has a dance floor in every other doorway, and most nights the people on them already know the routine. Nobody is born knowing it. The steps get taught in rooms like this one, and Turn Their Heads keeps one going in a warehouse park off Fesslers Lane.

The company describes its home as a 4,500-square-foot country dance academy with three studios, a lounge and waiting area, and a kitchenette. What matters for one afternoon is the beginner lesson: a fixed hour, an instructor working in English, and a room the operator says is fully mirrored so you can watch your own feet. This listing's slots are Monday, Thursday and Friday at 2:30, plus 11:30 and 2:30 on Saturday.

Everything happens at one address, 830 Fesslers Pkwy, Suite 114. There is no hotel pickup and no second location to get wrong.

The Hour, and What Is in the Room

The lesson runs sixty minutes and the length is fixed. The operator's FAQ puts it plainly: the classes are geared towards beginners and first-time dancers. This listing sells a single option, so there is no level to pick and nothing to get wrong at checkout.

Several things in the room cost nothing and are easy to walk past.

  • Phone tripods, so nobody in your group has to sit the dance out to film it
  • A cowboy hat to borrow, which the operator's listing offers at no charge
  • Digital signage the staff will put a photo or a message on for a birthday or a bachelorette
  • Mirrors down the wall, which is the part that actually helps

The operator also says its own team shoots photo and video during the session and sends it on afterwards.


Getting to Suite 114

The studio sits inside a multi-building complex and the suite is at the very back of it, which is the kind of address where the last hundred yards matter. The operator's directions are specific enough to follow from the car: turn left at Willow Trace II, drive all the way to the back of the complex, and look for the corner suite. If a lesson is still running when you walk in, take a seat or turn right into the lounge.

The lot takes cars, trucks, RVs and full-size coaches, it is handicap accessible, and it costs nothing. That is the operator's own description, and it is why a bus-load group can be delivered to the door here.

The company puts the trip at eight minutes and 2.6 miles from Broadway. It also notes that public transport runs nearby.


Boots, Bottles and Cups

Two rules are worth reading before you pack anything.

Boots are optional and sneakers are perfectly fine, but sandals and anything not secured to your feet are out. That is the operator's wording, and it is the rule that decides whether you spend the hour dancing or watching.

The studio sells no alcohol and keeps no cups, so BYOB here means bringing both. Bottle openers are on hand. Filtered water from the fountain is free and you are welcome to bring a bottle to fill. Bottled water, energy drinks, Gatorade, soft drinks and snacks are sold on site and sit outside the ticket price.


Who the Room Fits

The booking form sells one adult band and it starts at age eight. A younger child cannot be ticketed on this listing, though the product record notes that infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller in the room.

The rest of the access detail comes from the same record:

  • All areas and surfaces are wheelchair accessible, and so is the parking
  • Service animals are allowed
  • Suitable for all physical fitness levels, with one stated exception: it is not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health

One booking takes up to thirty travelers. The lesson itself is a shared public class, so other groups will be on the floor alongside you. Arriving alone works. So does arriving as a party, and the operator says it can tailor the class to fit the group.


Confirmation is instant and the booking window stays open right up to the start time, which is useful if you decide over lunch. The operator's own advice runs the other way: book ahead, especially on weekends, because classes fill. A mobile or a paper ticket both work, one per booking, and the cancellation terms are the platform's standard ones.

Then the hour is up, you know a routine, and Broadway is a short drive back the way you came.
