Country Line Dancing and Two-Step Group
based in the twin cities, MN
about us
Hold Your Lady Tight Night (HYLTN) is a Twin Cities-based country dance group with a simple mission: to spread the love of country dancing! We host weekly meetups where dancers of all ages and skill levels can enjoy progressive two-step and line dancing in a welcoming, high-energy atmosphere.
Founded in 2018, HYLTN is dedicated to creating safe and fun spaces where everyone can learn to dance honky tonk style—no partner or experience required. Whether stepping onto the floor for the first time or perfecting your turns, you’ll find a supportive community ready to dance with you.
What We Offer
Group Two-Step Lessons
Learn the smooth, flowing movements of progressive two-step, a classic partner dance that moves around the floor in a counterclockwise direction. We teach this at every event, whether it’s a Thursday Country Dance Night or a Weekend Boot Burner. No partner? No problem! Our inclusive approach makes it easy for everyone to jump in, meet new friends, and embrace the rhythm of country music.
Group Line Dance Lessons
Experience the energy of line dancing, a choreographed style where dancers move in sync without needing a partner. At HYLTN, we teach a mix of classic and modern country line dances at every event, ensuring you can step into any honky tonk with confidence. With music styles ranging from country to pop, there’s something for everyone to enjoy!
Private Two-Step and Line Dance Lessons
Looking for personalized instruction? James offers private two-step and line dance lessons at his home studio, his skatepark, or at your home or event space, tailored to dancers of all skill levels.

For private line dance lessons, James partners with a guest instructor to ensure a fun and engaging experience.

Dance Socials: Weekend Boot Burners
For those who just want to dance the night away, our Weekend Boot Burners are the perfect place to be! These socials focus less on lessons and more on dancing to an exciting mix of country, rock, and pop music. Whether you’re showing off your two-step, enjoying line dances, or simply soaking in the atmosphere, it’s always a boot-stomping good time.
