About Original Circles

Original Circles (OCs), a 501(c)7 Recreational and Social Club, is an intimate dance club for open-minded, sex-positive adults. We are the oldest member-owned lifestyle group in the NW. Our goal is to provide a fun, erotic yet safe environment for couples of like minds to meet and have fun. And have done so for the past 40 years.

Original Circles is 100% owned and operated by its members.
Just attend 3 parties, and you're a member. Once you're a member, you're an owner, too! 
(rules slightly different for singles.)

The first party of each month has a member/owner meeting beginning at 6 PM.
All member/owners are encouraged to attend.

There are no additional fees for our parties.
Just the regular dance fee.

Regular activities include 2 dances a month (held on the second and fourth Saturdays) as well as a week-long campout in July.

The dances play a great mix of slow R&B and Rock and Roll tunes, designed to get couples dancing together on the dance floor. We maintain a good balance of men to women to allow for maximum enjoyment.

Dress code is relaxed, a chance to wear that hot clubwear you might not wear to a lounge.  Genitals must be covered, and a cover-up available for the public areas. 

Membership for both Couples and Singles is restricted to those that respect the privacy and limits of others. Before attending a dance,  you must first attend a 15 minute orientation that will help explain what we expect.

In addition to being the hottest dance in town for couples, OCs is also a good place to meet other sex positive or 'lifestyle' couples and individuals in a pressure-free environment. With no on-premise playrooms, people have a chance to meet and talk before heading out to play. 

OC does not serve alcohol. Email us about our rules and privileges concerning on-premises alcohol consumption. We provide food and soft-drinks at the dances.

We are a members' owned and managed non-profit organization, licensed in the state of Washington. 

The Fine Print
 

Original Circles was established in April of 1969. During this time there were several "circles" clubs, they eventually combined into one as "Original Circles of the Northwest". In 1974 the club became a licensed non-profit organization in the State of Washington as "Original Circles of the Northwest, Inc.". In 2002 the club was reorganized and relicensed as "Original Circles, Inc." (OCs)
 

OCs is 100% owned and operated by all members. Each December the membership has elections for the 12 Board of Directors and 1 Chairman of the Board.  These people are members of OCs. There are 5 Officers then elected by the membership. they consist of the Chairman of the Board, President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer and Trustee.
