Membership
Formal attire is the signature of the Penguin Dinner-Dance Club. Member and guest couples come dressed in their finest to make it an elegant affair:
Ladies: Formal evening gown, cocktail dress or elegant pant ensemble.
Men: Tuxedo or dinner jacket with tuxedo trousers, or dark suit.
Membership is by couples only, however, an individual without a regular dance partner may join the club and list their dance partner as “Other” on the application.
Club dues for calendar year 2024 are $100 per Rossmoor resident couple and $120 per non-resident couple and cover the Club’s fixed costs for the band, coat check, decorations, etc.
Annual dues for each calendar year are prorated based on the number of dances remaining in the calendar year.
For example, for a resident couple when there are 4 remaining dances, the dues are 4/6 of $100 (or $67),
and for a non-resident couple the dues are 4/6 or $120 (or $80).
In all cases, whether for a Rossmoor resident or non-Rossmoor resident, we respectfully request you attend at least one Penguin Dinner-Dance Club event prior to indicating your desire to join.
