Dance sessions

Every Tuesday (unless it is a national holiday - see below) from 7:30 pm to 9:50 pm.
At Magnuson Park, "the Brig", Building 406, (Community Activity Center) .

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

Informal teaching/walk thrus from 7:30 to 8:30. Requests / "anything goes" from 8:30 to 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 !

No partner necessary.  Come by yourself or bring friends. $5 /$6 non-members.
Under 30 free.

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

We will not 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, there will be a dance on EVERY Tuesday for the next several years !

Everyone note this :

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