The main reason to become a member is to be able to take all the monthly classes for no charge. If you've ever taken Dance classes at a studio, you should realized that having free classes is a great bargain for the minimum price of membership. Members also receive reduced prices for dinner dances and dance parties. We are a very social group, so another great reason to join is to meet new friends!

Yes! We are doing our best to facilitate DOWOPS (as we now call them - Dancers Originally without Partners). We are setting aside special tables at dances to make it easy for singles to dance with each other, and for other members to dance with them. We also try to make sure they have people to dance with at classes.
We need your information either as a member or a visitor in order to register you for events or classes. Logging in will provide that information, as well as your partner's information if you have one.
Once you've logged on, you'll be able to see all events you have registered for in your profile. You'll also be able to easily register for classes or events along with your partner if you have one.

Novice Classes are self-contained classes that are designed for students that have never danced or haven't danced in a long while. They will provide an introduction to a couple of dances. Visitors are welcome at these classes. You can see which dances will be taught by checking the events list on the website. There are usually 2 novice classes covering different dances plus one Novice Review Session per month. We welcome non-members to our Novice classes.
You sign up each of these classes individually either by emailing countmein@sbballroomdance.com or registering on the website.
Monthly Dance classes are designed for members to concentrate on a single dance for a month. They normally meet twice a week for a full month. There are various levels from Beginner to Intermediate. Visitors may attend one class to see how they like it.
You can sign up for the entire monthly class by emailing countmein@sbballroomdance.com or registering on the website.
Dance Parties are dances where food may or may not be served. The food will be served prior to the dance usually at 5:00pm. The dance will normally start at 6pm once the food is cleared if food was served.
There is a cost involved. If not attending dinner, it will be $5 per person for members and $10 per person for non-members. If attending dinner, the cost and meal selections will be indicated on the form as will the treasurer's name and address. In either case, the payment (and meal selections) should be submitted prior to the event. You can print the form from the website event list (see the Print tab); or often the forms are available at classes or included in the weekly update email.
We will need to know if you plan to partake of the meal, or just attend the dance so that the correct number of tables can be set up in the ballroom. That will be indicated on the form.
You can also register by emailing countmein@sbballroomdance.com or on the website.
Open Practices are rooms and times set aside for informal dance practice. They are indicated on the Activites Calendar. Click Here to See the Activities Calendar for times and dates.
We try to have a DJ at most of them - especially Fridays and Mondays, so that you can practice what you've been learning in the various classes. You can request music for various dances, and the DJs will play them if they have the music.
Often on Wednesdays when no Novice Class is being held, the room will be available without a DJ, so you could feel free to bring your own music and practice.
They are designated as Open because they are open to all SaddleBrooke Residents.
Here are links to maps for the various places our events are held:
Robo DJ is a website designed to provide music for SBDC members. There are categories of music, and a facility to create a random playlist that includes various type of music. You will need access to WIFI and to login with your regular SBDC userid and password.
