About Club Country:

Club Country meets on Wednesdays from 7-10P.M. at the Riverside Community Center on the banks of the Caloosahatchee River. Our dances are held from September through the end of May.

At 7:00P.M. there is a line and partner dance teach, followed by "all request open dancing" until 10P.M. 9pm is a review of both. This club is a volunteer organization. Our dance lessons are usually given by club members or a visiting guest instructor. Music is provided by a DJ.

Please Note: Complimentary bottled water and soda are available. You may bring your own snacks and non-alcoholic beverages if you wish. (No alcohol is allowed in the Community Center.)

Club History:

The original club was started on March 3, 1989 and was called the FCWDA (Florida Country Western Dance Association). Pam & Gary Sheffield were the originators and the first presidents. Dances were held at the Hall of 50 States in downtown Ft. Myers. The dances were held there until January 2002 when FCWDA moved out to Riverside Community Center.

The members all loved it at Riverside Community Center and decided to stay. (Both facilities are owned by the City ofÂ Ft Myers.)

The original FCWDA grew to over 250 members.

In May of 1998, the Association was reformed to become Club Country.
