The Gerrymanders is a mostly mainstream, beginner
and singles friendly club. Couples are also welcome. Beginners will
get to dance during the first half of the dance and singles
will get to dance at what ever level they can dance. We
dance beginner through mainstream from 7:30-8:30 pm depending on
the abilities of the dancers present. After refreshments we
dance full mainstream until 9:30 with plus tips following. We
will instantly become a workshop if assistance is needed by the
dancers.
You do not need a partner. We have a number of members who can
dance either man or woman to even out gender imbalances. We tend
to have an excess of men early and an excess of women late in
the dance. Admission: $7 per person or $70 per quarter.
No special clothes are required. Ladies usually wear skirts, but
slacks are acceptable. Gentlemen usually wear shirts with long
sleeves. Western dress is always welcome. You can just show up -
no need to phone first. There are no age limits; our members
have ranged from teens into their 90s. We average 2 squares a
night, 3-4 squares or more on special occasions.
Beginners: If you have never
danced before, you can learn with or without a partner. Call Ed
at 703-920-2624 or talk to the caller at
one of our regular Wednesday night dances.
