Stuart Bunch dances are held in the Cafeteria at the Charlotte Campus of Edison College, 26300 Airport Road in Punta Gorda, Florida, which is south of Tampa and north of Fort Myers. The dance level is full C3B and includes both hard C3B and easy C4 star tips. Club members come from the US (11 states) and Canada. About 50% of the club members are C4 dancers.
Visitors (singles and couples) are welcome and may be invited to a dance by any active Stuart Bunch member or by sending an email request to the chairperson of the Membership Committee, Shirley Wright, using this link. The Membership Committee is responsible for return invitations.
The dance floor is hard-surface ceramic tile. Dress is casual, computer squares are used for most floor level tips and one C3 star tip, and the emphasis is on interesting material called by nationally renowned callers. Dance fees are $36 per person for visitors and $30 for members. Membership is by invitation, after a minimum of two dances. Annual membership dues are $5 per person. Dance fees are collected at the dance.
A map of the dance location at Edison College can be viewed by clicking here. Exit I75 at Jones Loop Road heading west, then turn right on Taylor Road and right again on Airport Road. The entrance to Edison College is marked by a pushpin on the map. Babcock-Webb WMA has a primitive campground just east of I75 at the Tuckers Grade exit and several other more civilized campgrounds can be found along US41.
A map of the campus itself (avaliable on a PDF link on the left) will provide good local orientation.
A few of the more economical area motels and hotels are also listed in the Stuart Bunch Links at the left.
