Starting April 6th, the BC Swing Dance club will be expanding its offerings to Victoria! Due to its dance runner’s relocation, Victoria’s weekly local WCS dance found itself without a host. The BCSDC, along with a host of local volunteers, is excited to be able to step up to provide resources and support the Garden City.

The dance, which runs every Saturday night in downtown Victoria, has occurred weekly over the past several years and will continue to do so. In April, the night is being started off with beginner lessons by Sam Jackson and Meaghan Efford. Follow along on the club’s Facebook page as this dance grows:

Give us a shout on Facebook or Victoria@bcswingdance.ca if you have any questions! And, if you’re in Victoria… check us out 🙂

Join us at our annual (technically true!) April BC Swing Dance club dance, featuring a lesson by Pamela Podmoroff!

Pamela’s lesson will feature a mixture of West Coast Swing and Shag dancing. Not familiar? Check out this video! https://youtu.be/8l5pczCZw04?t=25 (warning: these are professionals and the content may not be taught until the second Shag lesson)

Besides that, we’ve got another fun night of dancing. Doors open at 6:30PM, lessons run from 7-8, and then dancing goes from 8-11PM. Same times, same place – the Confederation Center at 4585 Albert St in Burnaby. See you there!

Come one, come all to the BC Swing Dance March dance on March 9th!

We’re holding our dance at the usual time (6:30 doors, 7 lesson, 8-11 dance) at the Confederation Centre. DJ Jason Brown is taking a break for March so we will be having DJ Ponytail Chris Dewhurst spinning the electronic records *all night long.

Come learn the mysteries of Guillotine Whips with Dave and Claudia. Just what are they? Google sure doesn’t know, so the only way to find out will be to come to the lesson!

Our usual prices are in effect – the lesson is $5 for members, $7 for guests, and the dance is $10 for members, $13 for guests. Students get in cheap too! Hope to see you there 🙂

*Not really, the dance is still contractually obligated to end at 11PM. Sorry.

Our Annual General Meeting wrapped up on Saturday, February 9th. Thank you to all those that attended. We had some good conversations and successfully elected a new board.
