Raids
The RAID PROGRAM promotes interaction among clubs. Our goal is to raid several clubs during the dance year (June 1 – May 31).
Each raid gives us points based on the distance between our club and the one we are raiding. Earning 200 points gives the club a 50% discount on annual dues to the NNJSDA. The program can be completed twice in the dance year, giving the club a 100% dues reduction.
This is a great way to support other clubs, socialize, encourage non-members to visit us, and reduce our NNJSDA dues for next year - wins all around. So mark your new calendar now! We'll arrange carpooling when the dates get closer.
Please email Raid Chairperson Lise Greene to sign up for raids or get more info. Reelers attending raids often carpool and dine together before the dance.
Upcoming Raids (Check Back for 2026-2027 schedule)
Please join your fellow club members on "raid" visits to other NNJSDA clubs this spring. Not only is it fun to experience dancing with other clubs and callers - completing the program will give our own club a 50% discount on our NNJSDA dues next year. :-)

Our club colors are black pants/skirt or black-and-white polka dots, white top, and red accent (belt, tie, jewelry, shoes, etc.). If we have enough participants, we'll do a very simple Virginia Reel(ers) routine - no prior experience needed.
We'll send reminders prior to each raid, but it would be helpful to know now which ones you plan to attend; last-minute participants also welcome. Thanks for joining in as many as you can - the first one is this Friday to our "sister club" with our class teacher as the caller!
