We have recently moved to The Villages. We have attended ballroom dances at Seabreeze and Ezell that were free of charge but also attended dances at LaHacienda and Everglades where we have paid a fee to dance. We were told that the dance at LaHacienda is recreation department sponsored and tickets must be purchased at a regional rec center in advance. However, Everglades is pay at the door and is not rec sponsored. Why are some dances that are organized by Village residents free and other dances charge an entry fee? It seems the format of the resident sponsored dances are similar. Typically, a spouse is providing the music. Can someone explain why this is? We are just curious. Thanks.
