Theatre on the Square Tacoma - Downtown. Zydeco Dance Lessons and party with Jeffrey Broussard & The Creole Cowboys. Dance lessons at 6:30 pm. 21+. 7:30 pm. $39.

• In a brilliant move, the Broadway Center will transform its Theatre on the Square into an old-fashioned social hall Friday night setting up Broussard and his Creole Cowboys on the stage above a cleared-out dance floor. Yup, the seats will be replaced with sweaty, happy dancers. To make the dancers even happier, the Barefoot Collective pros will provide free zydeco dance lessons an hour before the show. Expect the music to be an infectious rhythm that will be more rubbery syncopation than predictable stomp. Gumbo and authentic drink specials at the no-host cash bar complete the experience. — Michael Swan
