WHO ATTENDS THE DANCE PARTIES? Generally over 100 singles attend the Friday Dances. The ratio of men to women is usually well balanced and the age group is primarily 50s to 60s although there are some younger and older folks as well. Many of the people come for the first time because a friend brought them. It's a friendly crowd.
WHAT HAPPENS AT THE DANCE PARTIES? The music starts as soon as the doors open at 7:00pm and usually there are people dancing right away. The music continues non stop til 11:00pm. There is a large dancefloor and the deejay plays a variety of music and because the tempo changes regularly., it is easy to mingle and change partners. All the dances are non smoking events.
A couple of times we feature a special event, such as a 50's night Halloween, etc.
