    GFP Fun FAQs

    Posted on January 9, 2012 by Patsy

    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.

    Posted on October 31, 2011 by Patsy

    Dirty Water Saloon is closed for November and December, but stay tuned for details about January!

    For the past two years Dirty Water Saloon has been the place for funky country.
    Did you love the Electric Slide as a kid? Are you always the one teaching Aunt Celia Cotton Eyed Joe at family weddings? Have you always wanted to learn partner dancing? Then come on out and join us to practice line dances to Simply Red, Pussy Cat Dolls, and Plain White T’s, and learn to lead or follow Two Step and West Coast Swing to artists such as Train, Lady Antebellum, and Brad Paisley. Hope to see you in 2012!
