Information about Fireside Dance Club

1. What is Fireside Dance Club all about?

Fireside Dinner Dance Club is a dinner and social ballroom dance club for couples and invited guests. We host a dinner dance on the first Friday of even numbered months, with a catered three course dinner and music provide by a live band.

Our dinner dances are held at the Fireside Room in the Rossmoor Gateway Clubhouse. The venue provides a nice dance floor with room to dance and socialize. We enjoy two and half hours of dance music during and after dinner for a variety of couples oriented ballroom style dancing including, foxtrot, rumba, cha-cha, east coast swing, tango, samba, waltz, Viennese waltz, west coast swing, night club two-step, and every once in a while a hustle, quick step, bolero, merengue, or salsa.

2. What is the attire at the dances?

Our dances are semi-formal, coat and tie for men. Women wear elegant tops and skirts, dresses, or nice pants suits. Dance shoes with leather or felt bottoms are strongly recommended.

3. What is a typical dance like?

We enjoy a friendly and fun evening with elegant table decorations, a caterer served dinner, a live band providing music for dancing, and nice conversation with existing and new friends. Doors open at 6:00 PM with passed hors d'oeuvres and beverages. Dinner starts at 7:00 PM and dinner and dance music runs from 7:00 until 9:30 PM and we are out of the venue by 10 PM. There are sometimes brief announcements during the mid-evening break to discuss club news and to welcome visitors.

4. Do I have to join the Fireside Dance Club as a couple?

Yes. Your membership is for two seats and two meals for each dance. Our definition of a couple is any two people who enjoy spending an evening together. You may bring a different dance partner for each dance, but you must pay for and attend dances as a dance couple.

5. What is being a guest all about?

Guest couples invited by current members are always welcome. We will work with your hosts and get your name and email and give you the opportunity to receive notifications about future events.

6. What if I need help?

If you get lost on the website or don't know what to do....
  1. Don't Panic.
  2. Most web pages have a (tiny) line at the top of the page with a link to an Overview to give some perspective of what that part of the website does and how to use it.
  3. In any form that has two columns with the field attributes in the left (colored background) column and places to enter information in the right column, each attribute name in the left column is a link to a help function that will provide more information on what that attribute means and reasonable ranges to add for a value for it. The links usually provide hints if you merely hover your mouse over them.
  4. You can fill out the feedback form to provide feedback or to ask specific questions. We will work hard to place answers to your questions that might have broader usage in our frequently asked questions.

7. How do I pay for the event?
