GFP Fun FAQs

Did you know …

If you ask us to dance we’ll say yes… that is, if we don’t ask you first!
Free two-step and line dance lessons are offered at the beginning of every dance. So if you’ve never danced with a partner before or are new to the two-step, don’t let that stop you from coming out.
Our DJ’s also spin for west coast swing, east coast swing, cowboy cha-cha, waltz and nightclub two step dances.
Gays for Patsy dances are for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender (LGBT) community writ large… which is to say, friends, family and allies are all welcome, too.
We are an all-volunteer club that has donated more than $40,000 over the past twenty years to local non-profits. So when you kick in your 10 bucks, know that it is going to good causes.
