As a regular at Honky Tonk, I would like to address the review/comment from Rosanna from California…read moreand share what personally witnessed Wednesday night August 12, 2026. There are many of us who are regulars and genuinely love line dancing. We don't just dance in Wildwood-we travel to several other cities and states to dance, and we have a great time wherever we go. One thing I have consistently found in the line dancing community is that dancers are courteous and respectful of one another, regardless of skill level. We welcome beginners and are usually more than happy to help newcomers learn. We also support Honky Tonk because we enjoy being there. The staff is wonderful, the atmosphere is great, and while the dance floor itself may not be our favorite, we love Ashley, our DJ, and happily show up to support her as well. I watched Wednesday night's incident unfold from beginning to end, and what I witnessed was very different from what has been portrayed. There were several small children on the dance floor, directly in the line of dance. The adults dancing were doing their best to avoid running into them. At one point, I watched a couple of women repeatedly move away from the children to avoid a collision. Meanwhile, the children's mom appeared to find the situation funny and stood nearby laughing rather than moving the children to a safer area. When the song ended, I saw one of the dancers leave the floor, and the children's mother approached her. I moved closer and was able to hear their conversation. The dancer politely explained that the children needed to stay farther back and out of the dancers' path because she was concerned someone might accidentally run into them and hurt them. The mother's response was confrontational. She asked, "how far do you want them to go back?" And then commented about the woman being an advanced dancer. The dancer again explained that she simply did not want to accidentally collide with one of the children and have someone get hurt. The mother then accused the dancer of being rude. From what I personally witnessed,the dancer had not been rude. The situation escalated when the mother moved into the dancer's personal space and raised her hand towards her. From where I was standing, which was quite close, I saw the dancer push/slap the woman's hand away in response. I know this dancer from attending Honky Tonk regularly. I have never known her to cause problems. In my experience, she is a kind person, and I enjoy being around her. Line dancing is supposed to be fun, and beginners should absolutely feel welcome on the dance floor. But there is also a difference between beginners learning a dance vs very young children running and jumping around in the dancers' path. With dancers moving forward, backwards, sideways, turning, and sometimes unable to see directly behind them, that creates a legitimate safety concern for everyone-especially children. Parents also have the responsibility to supervise young children and keep them out of the direct path of an organized line dance. Expecting an entire dance floor of adults to maneuver around children who are running and jumping through the line of dance is neither reasonable nor safe. I was there. I watched the interaction closely, and I wanted to share what I personally witnessed because there are two sides to every story. It was an unfortunate and embarrassing situation that could have been avoided with a little courtesy, supervision, and respect for everyone using the dance floor. On another note, I believe Honky Tonk management needs to do a better job of handling situations like this quickly, rather than allowing the line dancers to be blamed or penalized when problems arise. If Wednesday nights from 7-11 are designated for line dancing, then management, should make sure the dance floor is being used safely and appropriately. That includes stepping in when people-whether adults or children-are repeatedly standing, running, or dancing in the path of the line dancers and creating an unsafe situation. The regular dancers should not be expected to spend the entire night dodging people who are intentionally interfering with the line of dance. Management needs to recognize when a situation is escalating and address it before it turns not a confrontation between customers. We support Honky Tonk (for now), its staff and Wednesday line-dancing nights, which is exactly why I think this needs to be said. A designated line-dancing night should have reasonable expectations for dance-floor etiquette and safety, and management should be willing to enforce them consistently. That protects the dancers, the children, other customers, and ultimately the establishment itself. If the regular line-dancing community begins to feel that Honky Tonk does not support us or provide a safe and respectful environment for Wednesday night line-dancing, many of us will reconsider whether we continue coming.

My wife had 3 raspberry crushes with lemon. I had 2 lagers. Met great people, shared a picnic table near the band and made new friends. Cheered the Phillies on and right back to dancing in our seats or up front of the stage. Only bummer of the night was they were sold out of t-shirts!
