Maverick - King of Clubs

On Saturday night in Tucson, Arizona there is no better place to be than Maverick, King of Clubs. What a hot scene! Everyone was duded up in their best western wear for a night on the town and - WOW! - can those cowboys dance!

This country western nightclub is conveniently located on the east side of Tucson in restaurant row. The club is a perfect size, has a fantastic dance floor and lots of tables and places to hang out or set a drink down while dancing. Everyone was very friendly and outgoing.

L. P. Perez teaches beginning and intermediate west coast swing starting at 5:30 pm for a measily $5. A lesson like that in NYC would cost $30! And it was a really good lesson too! We learned interesting new patterns and syncopations. His lovely partner, Brooke, demonstrated great styling.

West coast swing music is played until 8 pm. The music then begins to mix two-step and swing. The Jack Bishop Band comes on at 9 pm and delights everyone with top ten favorites and oldies but goodies. Some customers sing along and clap.

By 10 pm, there was a rodeo going on! Every corner of the joint had cowboys and cowgirls dancing, singing, clapping and laughing! I don't know where you could find a more cheerful crowd!

If you plan a trip out to the old west - this place will be a highlight of your visit. I certainly will never forget it. It was one of the best social dance places that I have ever been in.
