Q: I'm interested in joining, but I don't have a partner. Do you require that members are partnered?

A: No. This club is for all members, both singles and couples. Because of the partner inbalance we are teaching in the form of line dancing then converting it to a choreographed ballroom style.

Q: I've had some experience in dancing but it's been a long time and have forgotten much that I have learned.

A: The LOP Sliders is for all levels of dancers from beginners to advanced. We encourage the skilled to teach the unskilled.

Q: How often do you meet?

A: The club meetings are set every Monday evening at 8:00 pm.

    The actual dates that we meet are based on availability of the clubhouse. Even if we have a date pre-scheduled for practice, a revenue event would have priority. 

Q: Do you have any formal classes?

A: Formal classes are available at the DeWitt Center in Auburn at the Senior Center every Tuesday. Each month presents a new style.

Q:  Are there any dues?

A:  The club presently charges  $1.00 per person per session effective April, 2009.

Q: What is the cost for formal lessons?

A:  The cost is imposed by the instructor(s) at the DeWitt Center. See the sub menues under the navigational bar "Lesson Venues" for cost and schedule.

Q: What styles of dance do you practice and/or learn?

A: The club practice sessions practice whatever the attending participants request. We have covered the Waltz, Rumba, Cha Cha and Tango and anything else we can learn and teach.

Q:  What type of music do you have.

A:  We are currently using a portable sound system with programmable options.

Q:  Do you ever have formal dances?

A:  This club is open to all members of Lake of the Pines and their guests. It is the club's intention to have an LOP Association dance at least once a month. Dress is casual "but not too casual"

Q:  Does the club have professional teachers?

A:  Although Barry Connick has taught at Arthur Murray Dance Studios and is currently teaching at In Synce Dance Studios in Auburn, he does not consider any of us "professionals". We teach what we know.
