SAN DIEGO -- Pauline Miriam, founder of Hot Flash Dance Parties, LLC., runs seven very successful monthly women's dances up and down the West Coast.

In fact, you can find Hot Flash or Inferno dances in the following locations: San Diego, Long Beach, San Francisco, Portland, Ore., Eugene, Ore., Tacoma, Wash., and Seattle, Wash.

After seeing over 400 women show up at the San Diego Inferno dance in February, she's ready to bring even more heat to the region, with several other events that are certain to bring the ladies out more than once per month.

LONG BEACH, Calif. -- This Saturday, Oct. 22 the ladies from Hotflash Dance Parties, LLC. are launching yet another night of fabulous fun for the over 30 set.

These wildly successful, monthly dance parties take place up and down the west coast in various cities, including Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Phoenix, San Diego and now Long Beach.

The dance parties grew out of an acknowledgement that although older lesbians don't go out every night of the week, they certainly enjoy getting together to socialize and shake their groove thing on at least a monthly basis.

Up Front

If you have ever come out to family, friends and coworkers, you know unnerving it can be.

Will your friends be accepting?

Will your coworkers ask you a lot of questions you may or may not be prepared to answer?

Will your mother cry?

However, for all of these questions, there is one universal answer: You must be true to yourself.
