|
|
Join hundreds of Singles on our "Singles Dance" night on the 1st, 3rd and 5th Saturdays of every month. Everyone 18 and over is welcome (including couples)but the theme and activities are especially geared towards singles' dancing.
Start the night off with a free dance lesson at 7:30 - 8:00. The doors open at 7:15 so get here early for a good table because we pack the place on these nights.
Every 3rd Saturday is Christian Singles Night and this is the biggest night we have with usually well over 200 people dancing and mixing all night. For Details of Cost, Dates and Times scroll down to the Saturday Dance Schedule or visit our Calendar of Dance Events Page.
 The dance starts at 8:00 and goes until Midnight with Ron Bolin, The Dancin' DJ playing your favorite hits from all the decades with Rock 'n' Roll, Top 40, R and B, Swing, Ballroom, Latin and even some Country.
