About us
Hey new friend! We’re here to create events where new friends can meet and find interesting things to do around the Fort Myers and Cape Coral areas! This group is singles and couples friendly, and our intention is to create a safe space where everyone feels comfortable and accepted! Our group is for anyone their 20s, 30s, or 40s in the Fort Myers/Cape Coral area to meet up for board game days, fun events at local bars such as drag Queen bingo, bar crawls, dance nights etc., potluck dinner parties, trivia nights, costume parties, comedy shows, camping adventures, outdoor fun, and free local events and festivals!
The goal of this group is to have a fun and safe space to make friends. The only requirement to join is that you be a kind, considerate, and thoughtful person who understands and respects healthy boundaries. Some group members drink, some do not. Please do not pressure anyone to drink so that we can continue to have a fun social environment for those who don’t drink. Some are single and some are partnered! We ask that you respect the boundaries of people who are in relationships so that we can keep the group comfortable for couples to join and make friends too!
If you are attending an event and don’t know how to find us, please use the comment section to ask where we are. Group organizers often check the comment sections at the beginning of events to make sure no one is unable to find us. Event organizers should all put their phone numbers in the event descriptions so that they can be reached by call or text as well.

Irish Set Dancing 🍀 Class
Veterans Community Park, 1895 Veterans Park Dr, Naples, FL 34109, USA, Naples, FL, USJoin a great group of folks (not everyone is Irish!) and experience the energy, music, and community of traditional Irish Set Dancing. No partner needed - we'll change partners as we dance. It's similar to square dancing. It's not hard to learn, and we still sometimes mess up the patterns. The point is to get some exercise and have fun! Beginners are welcome.
$10 payable at the door by credit card only, required by Collier County for the use of the facility. A one time fee of $20 payable to the instructor for liability insurance required by Collier County is payable at the first class.
We dance to recorded music and show the steps via video. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes. Dress shoes, or shoes with a smooth bottom, are best - you need to slide a little. There's a lot of spinning, so pants are best. I usually wear capri-style yoga pants. There's sometimes bouncing (depending on the dance), so wear your "good" sports bra. ;-)
What is this kind of dancing? There's a video of us in public on YouTube: https://youtu.be/RdCCTN9V1Z4?si=HPw6GW-uLgz0uFdF
