On Sunday, September 17, we’ll be starting of our new season with an “Open House Dance.” Route 66 will be our first band, and all of Sun Lakes and surrounding communities are invited. We expect a full house for the Season Opener, so please email or call ahead using the information at our website (www.sunlakes-sundaydanceclub.com). We just want to make sure we have enough booze, snacks and seating. Check-in starts at 6:00 p.m., and the band plays from 6:30 until 9:30 p.m. So, what’s new about the Sunday Dance Club?

Besides ballroom, our dance bands will be playing many of today’s popular dances such as West Coast Swings, Country Dances, Cowboy Cha Cha’s, Line Dances and even some Salsa/Bachata. Bottom line, the band will play what our dancers enjoy.

In response to many requests, Mary Lou Kaye, our club’s resident dance instructor, will help start our season with her special “Social Dance Class.” This one-hour class is not geared toward a single dance, but helps any novice dancer to dance to a greater variety of dances. Time and location to be determined soon; $5/person.

We will also be hosting a “Pre-Dance Dinner” in the Cottonwood Bar and Grille. It was such a social success last season, the Pre-Dance Dinner will be held prior to every dance this season (except Valentine’s Banquet which is held during the dance). Tables will be reserved for our dance attendees in the lounge beginning at 5:00 p.m. Come join friends and meet new ones before the dance. The dinner is optional and self-pay. Also come see how our 2018 dance cruise voting turned out. Everyone at the dance will have a chance to cast their votes.

Our Sunday Dance Club is an “open club,” and membership is not required to come and enjoy a great evening. We look forward to making many new friends this coming season! Dress is casual, but no shorts, t-shirts or flip flops, please. Thank you.
