Regular dancers and singers at the Borderline Bar and Grill in Thousand Oaks say they are ready to perform again whenever the doors reopen.

Owner Brian Hynes told NBC News he plans to reopen the bar, but hasn’t yet decided if Borderline will open at the same place or a new location. Investigators turned Borderline back over to Hynes on Friday.

Line dance instructor Candy Sherwin, who has been teaching at Borderline for 24 years, says she won’t let the shooting stop her from dancing at the place she considers a second home.

“We’re not going be defeated by this kind of hatred and evil,” said Sherwin.

Days after the shooting, Sherwin and her regular dancers wanted to be together. So, they grieved by turning her living room into a dance floor.

Sherwin says they had a good time, “as good a time as you can have in a time like this.”

Thirteen-year-old singer Lacie Mae Byron is also ready to bring the music back to Borderline.

Byron has performed on the Borderline stage since she was 10 years old, and remembers some of the employees who lost their lives. 

“I absolutely will perform there again,” said Byron. “It will be the first place I go when I want to perform.”
