Regularly Held - Orlando Community Dances!!!

There are regular monthly dances in the Orlando area that are open to the general public.  Music style is mostly of the past 40 years.  This unrestricted age group is generally middle aged and senior adults.  Most are single.  This dance community is made up mostly of church going people that enjoy wholesome dance activities and travel this circuit of dances throughout the month.  The history of these dances have been primarily for single people.  Over the past years however, many couples have married and continue to attend because of the many friendships that have been made over the years and love to sustain this worthy community activity.  These dances have traditionally been open to all that will attend while respecting the original intent that this is held for single people.  Other dance information is provided below to promote wholesome community social activities.
