Indy Pride Inc

Attended my first Indy Dancers event last night, the bi-weekly dance at the Moose Lodge #17 on eastern edge of Indianapolis. So far, it was the most fun I’ve had at a ballroom dance. My previous experience was, largely, with the Continental Dance Club. To an amazing degree, this Indy Dancers event involved the same people one sees at the Continental Dance Club, but somehow this dance was more fun. It felt brighter and less “clique-ish.” There were MANY great dancers on the floor. I was one of the least accomplished, but my partners seemed accepting of my dance shortcomings. Also, I prefer this Indy Dancers location. The Continental Dance Club convenes in a facility that is in the middle of nowhere. If you want to go out for a drink after dancing, you will drive quite a distance. In contrast, the Moose Lodge where Indy Dancers meet is close to restaurants and coffee shops. I was about to give up on ballroom dance, but my first experience with Indy Dancers renews my motivation.

Free admission for 1st time visitors! Fun group to meet and dance with. Married and single. Found everyone friendly and the music is fantastic. Age was 40-70 with most being in the 50-60 year old range. Swing, Cha Cha, West Coast, Rumba, Waltz, Slow, Some Line Dancing. Drinks are inexpensive also. Very good experience!

A great place for couples and singles to meet people and dance the night away! Indy Dancers has a free dance lesson by professional dancers. The subject dance changes every month. It is a traveling club and dances a different venues around town. They welcome beginners to pros for a fun time and great exercise.
