Banner Raids & ambassador Club Visits
In the past, Banner Raids were made to encourage groups of dancers from area clubs to visit each other. Meet new people! Make new friends! Recently, Orange Blossom Squares has begun to reactivate this practice by conducting less formal Ambassador Visits to other clubs in the area. An Ambassador Visit involves club members traveling as a group or team to another club dance. In return, we look forward to those club members visiting us at Orange Blossom Squares.
Ambassador Visits are announced prior to a visit and all members are invited to join in.
