His performance in Singing in the Rain was such an iconic exhibition of the joy that dancing can bring. And living in SaddleBrooke gives you many unique opportunities to dance, rain or shine. SaddleBrooke Ballroom Dance Club (SBDC) is a well-established dance club that provides lots of opportunities for dancing, having fun, and expanding your circle of social friends.

We Host Dinner Dances

Our dinner dances are well attended and such a pleasure. Cocktails precede a wonderful dinner with a choice of three entrées, followed by dancing.

Our next dinner dance will be on Friday, April 7, from 5 to 9 p.m. in the ballroom at the MountainView Country Club in SaddleBrooke TWO, 38759 S.
