FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Are Singles Welcome?

In a word, yes.  Both couples and singles are expected to follow a few simple rules of etiquette to respect the privacy and limits of the other members.  Those that cannot follow these rules will be asked to leave, and may be permanently banned from all future events.

Though it has not been a problem recently, we do reserve the right to limit the number of single attendees at a dance to maintain a good balance of both sexes at the dances. This applies both to  'true' singles or to half of a couple attending alone.

    What are the rules of etiquette?
  • "Respect Others" - Respect others. Ask first. Loud, drunken or boisterous behavior that is ruining the enjoyment of others is not tolerated. Use alcohol in moderation, this has benefits not only at the dance, but possibly afterwards.
     
  • "No means No" - Need we say more?
     
  • "What Happens at OCs, Stays at OCs" - Privacy of those attending is paramount for the comfort and safety of everyone.  You may sometimes be surprised at who you meet at these dances.  Remember, they are there for the same reason as you. Anyone found revealing the identities of members to non-members will be permanently banned from all future functions.

What is the dress code?

Quite permissive.  Wear whatever you like to the dances. The only real hard and fast rule is that genitals must be covered, and you must have a cover-up available for public areas. There are women that wear pants, others wear short skirts with sexy tops, others wear lingerie or extreme 'club wear'.

Many of the dances are themed.  Themed costumes are fun, and many wear them, however they are not mandatory and you won't be out of place without a costume.  At a themed dance, generally about half of the attendees are theme dressed.

What is the general age of members attending?

There is a wide range of ages attending from 21 through 60+.  At most dances, ages are generally 30s through the 50s.

Is Alcohol permitted?

Alcohol is not provided by the club. Email us about our rules and privileges concerning on-premises alcohol consumption.

What is an 'off-premise' club, how is it different than 'on-premise'

Original Circles is an 'off-premise' club.  This means there are no playrooms at the dances, no is sexual intercourse (defined as 'penetration') permitted. However, it is much more than a 'night club' dance.  Extremely revealing attire, kissing, touching and playing are all permitted. Our goal is a highly erotic yet safe atmosphere. This is ideal for couples just looking for a 'spicy' night out together, or for couples and singles looking to meet others for more intimate relationships.

On-premise clubs generally provide playrooms for full sexual activity, and the expectations of 'hooking up' are generally higher.

What if we are not into 'sharing'?

No means No.  Couples that are just looking for a spicy evening with some intimate dancing are welcome at all our dances.  If you do not want to dance with others, a simple 'No thank you' when asked is all that is needed.  Do not be afraid that 'No' will hurt someone's feelings.  It is a simple codeword that means no.  It doesn't have any other meaning. Explanations, reasons, excuses, justifications are not needed. Those are what can hurt other peoples feelings, so just be comfortable with 'No thank you'.
