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: long gown, cocktail dress, or elegant pants ensemble.
Men: tuxedo, dinner jacket, or dark suit with dress shirt and tie.
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.
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.
Rossmoor residents: we are having a resident membership drive, and there is no charge for you to renew or to become a member.
Current non-resident member couple dues are $120.00 for the full 2025 year.
Annual dues for each calendar year are prorated based on the number of dances remaining in the calendar year.
For example, for a non-resident couple when there are 4 remaining dances, the dues are 4/6 of $120 (or $80).
Your 2025 membership renewal or new membership application and applicable dues payment need to be received before you can get the member rate for our 2025 dinner-dances.
