McMenamins Kennedy School

Join us in the Kennedy School Gym for Country Night and learn line dancing basics in a fun, welcoming environment. An experienced instructor from the PNW Stompeders will guide you step-by-step through beginner-friendly dances with music to keep the floor moving. Whether you've never tried line dancing before or just want to sharpen your skills, this class is designed to make it easy and enjoyable for everyone. Singles, couples, and dancers of all ages are welcome. Come with a partner, bring friends, or show up solo-line dancing is one of the easiest ways to meet people and have a great time. Food and drinks will be available for purchase throughout the evening, so you can grab a bite, relax, and make a night of it. No experience necessary, just come ready to learn a few steps and have some fun on the dance floor.

A three-day immersive songwriting experience for writers of all levels, focused on creative expression, musical craft, and community. Participants can write a first song or develop new material, learn techniques through workshops led by songwriting teachers, take songs from private practice to the stage, and connect through singing circles and an intimate open mic in an art sanctuary. The experience takes place at the Portland Kennedy School and a private art space across the street.
