Members of Red Friars Dance Club have been sharing a love of ballroom dancing to a live band since 1934. The Moose Lodge has a fine, large wooden dance floor and plenty of convenient parking. We love welcoming new members and guests. Please join us!

  Dues are $200 per couple for six dances, or $150 for four dances. While members attend dances as couples, single people are welcome to join our club and bring a guest to each dance. New members joining mid-year will have their first year’s dues prorated.

  All members are encouraged to invite new couples to our dances as often as they wish. Couples hosted by members may attend their first dance free of charge. Contact any board member or send a message through this page – we would be delighted to host you for your first dance! Former members and those who have been guests previously may attend single dances by paying $50 per couple per dance.

  Dinner is catered before each dance for a cost of $19 per person. This is a wonderful chance to socialize and meet new friends! Reservations are required.

  Dance sets include foxtrot, waltz, swing, tango and Latin dances. Our dancers represent a variety of skill levels, so this is a great place for beginners and experienced dancers alike to practice their steps – and find some new ones!

  What to wear? Some members love to dress up, others prefer a bit more casual affair. Most men wear suits or sports coats; women wear skirts, dresses or dressy slacks. Most important to us is that everyone enjoys the dancing experience and has a good time!
