About the Gerrymanders
You do not need a partner. Roughly equal proportions of ladies and gents show up. Admission: $5 per person or $50 per quarter. Drop-in Dances are free to new dancers; club members are charged as usual.
No special clothes required; Ladies usually wear skirts, men wear shirts with long sleeves. Western dress is welcome. You can just show up - no need to phone first - although there is an optional form to fill out. There are no age limits; our members range from teens into their 90s. We average 3-4 squares a night.
Gerrymanders is a mainstream club. During the summer (June-September) we dance mainstream from 7-8:30 and mainstream with plus tips from 8:30-10 pm. The rest of the year (i.e., while beginner classes are in session), we dance 7-8:30 class level, 8:30-9:30, mainstream, and 9:30-10 pm mainstream with plus tips. You do not need to be a student to come at 7:00 We
welcome "angels" -- mainstream dancers, singles and couples -- to fill out squares and help
students learn. Mainstream dancers are always welcome, all evening long.
