2022 Dance Events

Here are scenes from the dances that Rochester Ballroom Dancing held in 2022.

Ridgemont County Club - December 10, 2022
Band: Fred DiCesare

We finished out 2022 with spirits high. Most of us dressed in our festive holiday best. We were at Ridgemont Country Club where Ann & Charles Schoeffler and Sharon & Wayne Wood checked us in and wished us Seasons Greeting as our dance hosts. Fred DiCesare was our band leader playing a good mix of music including many holiday favorites. There were 52 for dinner and dancing, and 4 later came for only the dancing. The attendees showed their Holiday giving spirit by bringing 20 raffle donations the most we have had this season. 

Ridgemont County Club - November 18, 2022
Band: Nate Rawls Band

We were at Ridgemont Country Club for this dance and will be here for our December Holiday Dance also. Five club members volunteered to host the dance. They were Marilyn & Don Furey, Gail & Tom Cometa, and Gene Zientara. Fifty nine members and guests braved some questionable weather to attend and enjoy the social hour and dinner. One member joined later for the dancing. This was one of our largest attendances since restarting. The attendees brought 15 donations for the raffle. The Nate Rawls Band played a good mix of dance tunes for us.

Mendon Golf Club - October 22, 2022
Band: The Music Makers Band

Mendon Golf Club has one of the largest dance floors in the area. We all enjoyed gliding around the room listening to music played by The Music Makers Band. Mary Ellen and Paul Hoderlein, and Connie and Tom Lathrop greeted everyone as they arrived and pointed folks to their tables. There were 41 attendees, and one member who came for the dancing.

Blue Heron Hills Golf - September 17, 2022
Band: Fred DiCesare and Dick O'Conner

We were at Blue Heron Hills Golf in Macedon for the first time. (This location was on our schedule for January 2019, but winter weather caused the cancellation of that dance.) Anne and Arnie Gray along with Maryann McCabe and David Klein were the volunteer hosts at this dance. Fred DiCesare and Dick O'Connor provided the music. They played a good mix of tempos and styles being very familiar with what ballroom dancers want. We had 40 people attending with one person coming for only the dancing.

Mendon Golf Club - August 27, 2022
Band: Johnny Matt

We were back at Mendon Golf Club to listen to Johnny Matt play the dance music for us. Members and their guests were welcomed at the reception table by Pat and Dennis Massa, and Charlene Varnis and Jim Vallino. (With assistance from Annmarie Berner.) There was a turnout of 51 members and guests for the social hour and dinner. Eight others joined later for the dancing.
