As they have done every Thursday of the month the past two decades, members will dress up to the nines and turn out to Soldiers Point Bowling Club for a 7pm dancing start.
However, to mark the 20-year anniversary, the group's president Mary Coombes said members will don their Easter best and prizes will be awarded for best dressed.
"We [will] look back on past accomplishments and towards our bright future and thank the Soldiers Point Bowling Club for allowing us to use the ballroom in their beautiful facility," Ms Coombes said.
The dance group was formed in 1995 by a group of friends.
"Our group has grown to approximately 40 with members from all walks of life and a diversity of backgrounds," Ms Coombes said.
Ted Collins, who founded the group with his late wife Shirley, is the group's music man.
Merv Isles and Joan Sellick, with the group for the 20 years, teach members new moves, while Ernie Winter, Margaret White and Gwen Toltomery are also still dancing with the group 20 years on.
New members are welcome to join the group, especially men.
"It's the same old story - we're short on gentlemen," Ms Coombes said.
