Line dancing lessons
Turn Their Heads
Beginner line dancing studio a few minutes from Broadway, with bachelorette group classes.
830 Fesslers Pkwy Ste 114
Learn two routines in an hour, then show them off on Broadway that night.
For every guest
Not everyone’s here to drink.
Pregnant friends, sober friends, the bride’s mom, a cousin who’s 20. Nashville has plenty for them, and most of it is just as fun for everyone else.
Rules of thumb
- Lead with daytime. Brunch, a lesson, murals and the river work for every age.
- Check age limits. Party bikes like Nashville Pedal Tavern are 21+, and so are later tours on some rides and most speakeasies.
- Split the night. Let part of the group do Broadway while the rest takes a songwriter show or a cocktail bar with real mocktails.
- Split costs fairly. If some guests won’t drink, keep the bar tab separate from the shared budget.
Good for everyone
