We are still interested in getting our club member's opinions on using DJs rather than live music. We encourage
you to email Dave Green with your opinion. You may email him at DaveGreen@ManhattanClub.org.

account please call Dave Green at 206-304-7589 or email him at DaveGreen@ManhattanClub.org.
He will setup an email address for you and if you need help setting it up or using it he will
be glad to help you.
For those interested in its' history The Manhattan Club it was founded in October 1960 by two married couples
that wanted to start a ballroom dance club. They put together a group of sixteen people and held
their first dance at the Doric Hotel, located at 6th Avenue and St Helens Street in downtown Tacoma.
They later moved their unnamed dance club to the New Yorker, also on 6th Avenue, and named their club
The Manhattan Dance Club. Over the years the club moved a number of times and eventually ended up at the
AM/VET's Hall where they have been since 1990. From the original sixteen members the Club quickly grew and turned into a singles club for adults
over 35 years of age. Many of those singles got married and wanted to continue attending the dances so the club
began welcoming both single and married members of all ages. Today the Club welcomes all dancers and we hope you
will visit us soon!!
