The BAMEO Intensive

The British Columbia Swing Dance Club is pleased to present:

*The BAMEO Intensive Weekend* – a special weekend event, November 3-4 in Vancouver! This is in addition to our regular dance on November 17.

BAMEO is the partnership of West Coast Swing Champions Ben McHenry and Cameo Cross, both members of the California Swing Dance Hall of Fame! Learn more about them at their website http://www.bameowcs.com/

Together, they combine knowledge from multiple dance disciplines, movement/body mechanics, and WCS specifically. They are known for focusing on the most complicated concepts in WCS and simplifying them, making them easier to understand and apply. Whether they are teaching, running events, performing, or just social dancing, their goal is to spread their love and passion for WCS to dancers all over the world, and they look forward to many of years of doing just that.

The BAMEO Intensive weekend features 8 hours of all-level workshop instruction, 5 hours of social dancing (including 2 hours of social dancing with Ben and Cameo reserved for passholders), and DJ Ben McHenry for all 5 hours of social dancing.

As an Intensive weekend, the workshops will build on one another. Passes sold are for the entire weekend – individual workshops passes will not be available.

October Dance!

After a wildly successful return to dancing after the summer, the BC Swing Dance will be hosting our next dance on October 13, featuring Elizabeth Hudgins and Zoltan Meszaros.

Dancing will be held at the confederation center at our traditional time – doors at 7:30, lesson at 8, and dancing from 9-12. See you there!

August BBQ Update

Unfortunately, due to the current fire bans in parks, we’ve had to ramp down our member’s appreciation BBQ to a pizza party.

The good news: the pizza party is free to members and $5 to non-members! Come out at 4:30PM Saturday, August 18th, at Central Park in Burnaby, and meet some of the other BCSDC members.

Same time, same place, just different food.

We are in picnic area 1 below:

September Dance

…. And we’re back (in September)!

After a summer of relaxing, we’ve got a full fall schedule planned, starting with an edition of our monthly dance on Saturday, September 15th. Pamela Podmoroff will be teaching a nightclub 2-step lesson and Amy and Michael Shibasaki will be teaching the beginner lesson. All of this is followed by a social dance.

Please note: This dance will be starting one hour earlier and ending one hour earlier:

  • Doors at 6:30PM
  • Lessons from 7 to 8PM
  • Dance from 8 – 11PM

See you there!
