New Year’s Eve Hoedown ✨

Boot Scooting Society is seeing out 2026 the only way we know how — on the dance floor.

Join us for a very special New Year’s Eve Hoedown in a fabulous Melbourne city bar, with line dancing, great music, drinks, plenty of laughs and a whole lot of boot scooting as we count down to midnight together.

LIMITED PLACES ✨

Places are limited for this event and we expect NYE to be popular, so early booking is recommended.

EARLY BIRD — $35 + booking fee

First 30 tickets only

GENERAL RELEASE — $40 + booking fee

Final allocation

Never line danced before? Perfect.

We’ll be teaching throughout the evening, with every dance broken down from scratch. No experience and no partner needed.

Already know your way around a dance floor? There’ll be plenty of social dancing too, with a mix of Boot Scooting Society favourites, requests and country bangers between the teaches.

The night will move between teaching, social dancing, drinks and breaks, building towards midnight when we’ll all see in 2027 together. 🥂✨

Come on your own, bring a friend or round up a whole crew. It’s NYE. The more boots on the dance floor, the better.

WHAT TO WEAR ✨

The theme is SPARKLE.

It’s New Year’s Eve, so we’re giving our usual country style a little extra shine.

Think boots + sequins, denim + diamantes, fringe + glitter, sparkly cowboy hats, metallics, rhinestones — basically, if it catches the light on the dance floor, we’re here for it.

Go all out or just add a touch of sparkle to whatever you’d normally wear.

The theme is optional. The dancing isn’t.

FINDING ALFIE’S

Fair warning: Alfie’s is a hidden bar. And they really committed to the “hidden” part. 😂

There’s no big flashing sign pointing you towards the dance floor, so if you haven’t been before, give yourself a few extra minutes to find us.

Alfie’s is tucked away at Little Drifter on Franklin Street, with an entrance that’s very easy to miss if you don’t know what you’re looking for.

The good news? We’ve got you covered.

Watch this quick video before you come. It shows you exactly how to find Alfie’s:

Think of finding the bar as your first achievement of the night.

Find the secret bar. Find the dance floor. Then find yourself boot scooting into 2027.

FILMING

We capture photos and short video clips during the evening for Boot Scooting Society’s social media and promotional content.

We focus on the atmosphere rather than individual dancers. If you’d prefer not to appear, simply let us know when you arrive and we’ll happily keep you out of shot.

GOOD TO KNOW

• Absolute beginners are very welcome

• No partner required

• Teaching and social dancing will be mixed throughout the night

• We’ll be taking requests where we can

• Tickets are transferable but non-refundable unless the event is cancelled by the organiser

One last scoot for 2026. One big countdown. And maybe the first line dance of 2027. 👢✨

We can’t wait to see the New Year in with you.
