Come At Me, Sarasota: Line dancing at the White Buffalo

As followers of the "Come At Me" series know, our reporter Alex Mahadevan has issued a city-wide challenge to take on any competitor — in any arena. Each month, he chooses what he deems his most worthy opponent and goes head to head with anyone who dares accept.

This month, the White Buffalo Saloon caught wind of the standing challenge and invited Alex down to the bar to cut a rug on the line dancing floor.

Having recently watched "Road House," Alex felt more than prepared to take on anyone in the country bar, including Tim Schlach, who teaches line dancing classes from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. every Thursday and Friday night at the establishment.

Schlach got Alex suited up in his finest Western garb, directed him to the dance floor and showed him a thing or two about what he calls #CountrySwag.
