Dance sessions

Every Tuesday (unless it is a national holiday - see below) from about 7:30 pm to 9:35 pm.
At Magnuson Park, in the "the Brig", Building 406.

So what sort of music do we play ?
All the traditional Folk AND Ballroom favourites plus line dances, sets (squares or contras) and mixers to international music on tapes & CDs.
Waltz, Polka, Hambo & Twostep variations & pattern dances along with Ragtime, Foxtrot, Swing, Tango, etc etc.

Teaching/walk thrus for the first hour - requests &  "anything goes" after that till closing.
In addition, you can bring a tape or CD tune for us to copy and then it will be played as often as its popularity demands !

No partner necessary.  Come by yourself or bring friends. $6, $7 for non-members.
Under 30 - half price, $3 !

What our regulars like is that every dance is a little different.
For instance, although I am very enthusiastic about either waltz, tango, swing and certain line dances, I don't want to do the same thing all night. So just like our weather, wait 3 or 4 minutes, and there is a completely different atmosphere !

"No dance" days

Since we rent a Parks building room, we cannot run a dance on any major holiday period day when it falls on a Tuesday.
These possible days are July 4, December 24 & 25 (Christmas eve & day), December 31 & January 1 (New Year's eve & day).

The first one of these does not occur until December 25, 2012 !
Thus, other than some situation beyond our control, such as snow, there will be a dance on EVERY Tuesday for years !

Everyone note this :

If we have your CURRENT phone number(s) & email address - we can then notify you of changes.

....... and we do much more than dance.  Check out the Mountaineers Home Page for all kinds of activities, including hiking, bicycling, climbing, sea kayaking, naturalists, photography, sailing, skiing, snowshoeing, social & singles activities etc. And if you become a member, you can save money on dance admissions, as well as on outdoor activity classes.
