Made by Young Adults, for Young Adults
If you’re tired of weekends that feel like a waste — standing around in bars, pretending to have fun, not knowing anyone — you’re not alone.
Most places aren’t built for connection.
We built Parish Nights to fix that.
It’s wholesome, welcoming, and built around people who want to:
Learn something new
Meet people who want to socialize
Or build real friendships — not just flex on social media

Frequently asked questions
What is the age range?
Parish Nights is a dance community built for young adults, by young adults.
We provide a fun, safe, and wholesome environment for young adults (18-30s) to build friendships and connect with their fellow peers – without the influence of alcohol.
Do I need to bring a partner to dance with?
Nope, you don’t need to bring a partner, or even know anyone! In our classes, we rotate partners regularly. This helps everyone get to know each other and improves your dancing faster. Of course, you’re welcome to bring a partner if you’d like, but it’s not a requirement.
How much does it cost?
The cover per night is $10 (Cash, Card, or Venmo).
Memberships are only $18/month (Card only - sign up online)
Can I bring my romantic partner (and only dance with them)?
Yes, we recommend rotating dance partners during the class as it helps everyone learn faster and encourages socialization. However, couples who wish to remain together for the entire class can do so.
Is smoking or alcohol allowed?
Nope, we are smoking-free and alcohol-free!
