NYC Swing Dancing Club had two babies
Eyes batting like mad over here. I’ve only ever heard that construction applied to actual members of the organization, e.g. “our swing dancing club has two new parents”, or “our Thursday morning playgroup has two new toddlers”.
It wouldn’t sound cultish or anything, but it’d still sound “weird” to me.
