Information about Fireside Dance Club
For Public
1. What is Fireside Dance Club all about?
Fireside Dinner Dance Club is a dinner and social ballroom dance club for couples and invited guests.
We host a dinner dance on the first Friday of even numbered months, with a catered three course dinner and music provide by a live band.
Our dinner dances are held at the Fireside Room in the Rossmoor Gateway Clubhouse. The venue provides a nice dance floor with room to dance and socialize.
We enjoy two and half hours of dance music during and after dinner for a variety of couples oriented ballroom style dancing including,
foxtrot, rumba, cha-cha, east coast swing, tango, samba,
waltz, Viennese waltz, west coast swing, night club two-step, and
every once in a while a hustle, quick step, bolero, merengue, or salsa.
2. What is the attire at the dances?
Our dances are semi-formal, coat and tie for men.
Women wear elegant tops and skirts, dresses, or nice pants suits.
Dance shoes with leather or felt bottoms are strongly recommended.
3. What is a typical dance like?
We enjoy a friendly and fun evening with elegant table decorations,
a caterer served dinner, a live band providing
music for dancing, and nice conversation with
existing and new friends.
Doors open at 6:00 PM with passed hors d'oeuvres and beverages.
Dinner starts at 7:00 PM
and dinner and dance music runs from 7:00 until 9:30 PM and we are out of the venue by 10 PM.
There are sometimes brief announcements during the mid-evening
break to discuss club news and to welcome visitors.
4. Do I have to join the Fireside Dance Club as a couple?
Yes.
Your membership is for two seats and two meals for each dance.
Our definition of a couple is any two people who enjoy spending an evening together.
You may bring a different dance partner for each dance, but
you must pay for and attend dances as a dance couple.
5. What is being a guest all about?
Guest couples invited by current members are always welcome.
We will work with your hosts and get your name and email and give you the
opportunity to receive notifications about future events.
6. What if I need help?
If you get lost on the website or don't know what to do....
- Don't Panic.
-
Most web pages have a (tiny) line at the top of the page with a link to
an Overview to give some perspective of what that part of the website
does and how to use it.
- In any form that has two columns with the
field attributes in the left (colored background) column and places to enter
information in the right column, each attribute name in the left column
is a link to a help function that will provide more information on what
that attribute means and reasonable ranges to add for a value for it.
The links usually provide hints if you merely hover your mouse over them.
-
You can fill out the feedback form to provide feedback or
to ask specific questions. We will work hard to place answers to your questions
that might have broader usage in our frequently asked questions.
7. How do I pay with Zelle?
Our preferred method for receiving payment is Zelle.
Payment is immediate and it is easier for us to track with our registration procedures.
Tell me about Zelle
Zelle is a bank hosted money transfer service that is the electronic version of a personal check.
You can only send money from your bank account once you log in to whatever application
or software you normally use to do online banking. No one can "pull" money
from your bank account using Zelle, you must explictly create a recipient contact with
your bank and initiate each transaction to send money to them.
Once you identify Fireside Dance Club (rossmoorfiresidetreasurer@gmail.com) as an authorized recipient
you can pay us easily in a minute or two for future dances and dues payments
making payments easy for everyone.
If you are not familiar with Zelle, here is a website describing
how Zelle works.

- Create a recipient Fireside Dance Club.
Where it asks for phone number or email address, enter rossmoorfiresidetreasurer@gmail.com.
(You will only have to do this once. Once Fireside Dance Club is in your bank's Zelle recipient list, Zelle knows

known recipients and fill out the amount and memo entry for future payments.)
