Last Week for Winter Warm Up Tickets - Winter Warm Up - February 15th, 2025
Experience elegance and enchantment at our upcoming semi-formal ballroom dance Winter Warm-Up, this year with the theme "Stepping into Character: Dancing Through Time."
The event is scheduled to take place on February 15th, 2025 at TCU Place. Registration closes on February 9th, 2025 so this is the last week to get your tickets! You can conveniently purchase tickets online at the University of Saskatchewan Ballroom Dancing website.
Ticket prices are:
$50.00 General Public
$35.00 Members
$30.00 Student Members
6:30 PM — Doors Open
7:00 PM — Dance until 11:30PM
Experience a night of refined elegance, where the dance floor becomes a tapestry of history, bringing the charm of different eras to life. Timeless melodies will weave the past into the present as we celebrate your favourite iconic figures from all walks of time.
Stepping into Character: Dancing Through Time is your chance to embody your favorite historical figure, literary icon, or cinematic legend. Whether you channel the grace of a Victorian aristocrat, the boldness of a 1920s flapper, the charm of a silver-screen star, or the influence of a trailblazing historical figure, the choice is yours.
While costumes inspired by your favourite icons from various times are warmly welcomed, they’re completely optional. Come as a legendary duo like Bonnie and Clyde or Fred and Ginger, or take center stage solo as Cleopatra, James Bond, or Marie Antoinette. From storybook characters to real-world icons, your imagination is the only limit. Step into character and bring history to life on the dance floor!
Please buy your tickets online in advance if possible - this helps us plan the event! Paying at the door (by cash) will cost $5.00 additional and will only be available for the first hour after doors open.
