Information about Fireside Dance Club 1. What is Fireside Dance Club all about? Fireside Dance Club is a social ballroom dance club for couples and invited guests. We host a dance on the second Friday of even numbered months. We have a caterer served dinner with music provide by a live band. We hold our dances at the Fireside Room in the Rossmoor Gateway Center. The venue provides a nice dance floor and plenty of room to dance and to sit and socialize. After dinner we enjoy 2 hours of dance music for a variety of couples oriented ballroom style dancing: 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 no host bar. 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. 1. 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. 1. What if I need help? If you get lost on the website or don't know what to do.... Don't Panic. First, click on the logo in the upper left corner of any website page. This will bring you to your "home page" with a concise summary of links to the (few) most likely things you will need to be concerned about. 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. 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. 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.
