Volunteers Requested to Assist
Our club, which was founded by university students who love dancing, has been invited by the St. Thomas More Student Union to host a dance workshop followed by a social dance on November 7th, 2024 taking place in the STM cafeteria. (Closest parking in the Lot 1 (Place Riel) is 6pm-6am - $1.50/hour. $6/exit nightly max.)
The Waltz/ Country Two Step workshop would run from 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM and the social dance would follow from 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM.
This is a fantastic chance to introduce many new dancers to the joys of ballroom dancing, and we’d love for our members to join in!
How You Can Help:
This event will introduce new dancers to both ballroom dancing and our club and we are looking for volunteers to help make this event a success and put our best foot forward!
We’re looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help with setup, takedown, music management, and making sure beginners and solo dancers feel welcome and included. They may also be asked questions about the club and their experiences with dance classes.
All levels of dance are encouraged and welcome to attend! Volunteering is a great way to support our club and bring new members to our club to keep it vibrant. We also encourage all members to join us for the social dance afterwards, to share the joy of ballroom dancing and help newcomers feel welcomed and confident on the dance floor. The event is free to attend and there will be light snacks served.
Our Volunteer Coordinator is currently away so if you're interested in volunteering or have questions, contact our Marketing and Communications Officer at marketing@uofsbdc.ca.
Announcements Carried Over
A Gentle Reminder - Club Policy on Use of Scented Products
Many people are extremely sensitive to perfumes, colognes, aftershaves, and other scented products. We want dancing to be a safe, comfortable and fun experience for everyone! Therefore we ask that dancers please do not wear scented products at any time during classes, dances or workshops.
November 2nd, 2024 - Beginner Dance
(Beginner and Beginner Plus Classes Only)
This event is for members registered in Beginner and Beginner Plus classes only. You can pay at the door with cash, debit or credit.
Tickets cost $10.00
These informal dances are set up to allow our Beginner members a chance to practice what they have learned in class at a dance designed with Beginners in mind. Only dance styles taught at the Beginner level are on the playlist, and songs are chosen for their definite beat and ease of understanding.
The dance will take place at St Joseph's Hall on Saturday, November 2nd, 2023. Doors will open at 6:30 PM and the dance will be held from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM
This dance is meant to be a very informal event, allowing Beginners to meet others from different classes, as well as meeting other Beginner Dance Instructors who are always there and willing to help out. Of course, the instructors are also more than happy to be taken for a spin on the dance floor so don’t be afraid to ask!
