SCDC Fall Food Drive EXTENDED



Posted 11/15/2021



There were several Members at the November dance that wanted to continue the food drive. The Event committee has decided to extend the drive through the December dance. Please bring your non-perishable food. The member response at the November dance was generous. The need is particularly great this year.


It is a tradition for SCDC to collect canned goods and other non-perishable food items for the community this time of year. This year’s beneficiary is Women’s Center of Brevard. SCDC members have always been generous. Please keep our less fortunate neighbors in mind as you shop this week, and bring your items to the December 18 dance.

Posted 11/15/2021



For several years SCDC has supported Toys for Tots during the holiday season. Toys for Tot's mission is to collect and distribute toys to less fortunate children. All of our donations and gifts stay in Brevard. Toys for Tots is proud of the fact that 97% of donations go to local children and teens, with only 3% for operating expenses. Please bring a new, unwrapped toy which can be placed under the club's Christmas tree.

SCDC Board Decision to PausE
Posted March 15 2021



Some dancers have asked us why other dance venues hold dances while we close. Here are the facts that drive our decisions:


1. Most open dance venues, such as studios in Melbourne, draw dancers from our local area. SCDC has 60% of our membership from Brevard and the other 40% from other counties and nearby cities with a few from as far away as South Florida. This membership distribution means that we must consider the risk of members inadvertently spreading the virus from other parts of the state.


2. Studios and ballroom groups can ask dancers to dance exclusively with one partner. At our dances people mix and change partners. Many of our members are single and come to the dance expecting to dance with several partners, not just one person.


3. Studios can limit the number of dancers permitted. We have a paid membership of dancers with equal privileges. Our dances have been popular, with attendance between 50 and 100 people, sometimes more. This makes for a good time but requires more caution. We will be watching the Covid-19 news carefully and we will open again as soon as we can. We hope to see all of you on the dance floor soon.
