The Dance Club gathers weekly to enjoy couples social dancing of all kinds. Beginners and those with two left feet are welcome. There are no fees or dues.
Dance Practice sessions are held on Sundays, 4:00-6pm (focus on beginners 4-4:30) in the Summerland Hall Gathering Room, to share and practice dance patterns and enjoy open dancing to a variety of music.
The Club also participates in other dance venues at local clubs such as Dance Jax, Crazy Horse, Boleros, and Savoy. Club newsletters are issued regularly to update members on Sunday sessions and to recommend off-site dance venues.
All residents are welcome to the Club's Dance Mixers which are held several times a year.

Health Benefits of Dancing
If you secretly sashay across your living room when you're home alone or long to cha-cha with your significant other, you're in luck. Not only is dancing an exceptional way to let loose and have fun, but it also provides some terrific benefits for your health.
In fact, Mayo Clinic researchers reported that social dancing helps to:
- Reduce stress
- Increase energy
- Improve strength
- Increase muscle tone and coordination
And whether you like to kick up your heals to hip hop, classical or country, the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) says that dancing can:
- Lower your risk of coronary heart disease
- Decrease blood pressure
- Help you manage your weight
- Strengthen the bones of your legs and hips
