Wanna spice up your Fridays?! Here’s a splendid little idea! I didn’t get a chance to post about this a few days ago, but y’all deserve to hear about it! Every Friday night starting July 6, 2007, all the way to August 31, 2007 @ 8:00PM - 11:30PM!!, hoards of people are dancin’ downtown! We’re talkin’ 9 weeks of dancing! I’ve noted a smidgen of commentary from our hungry readers about this so i thought I’d give y’all more info, here goes!
DanceSport BC (DSBC) is proudly presenting the Robson Square Summertime Dance Series 2007. This FREE (read: “totally free“) community event has been held every summer since 1979. It is open to the general public, and people of all ages and backgrounds are encouraged to join in the fun. Spectators and participants range from children to the elderly and ballroom enthusiasts to interested downtown passers-by, as well as Beyond Robson readers, no less! So what else happens these evenings, click for MORE!
Each week they start the night with a FREE dance lesson given by a local hand-picked dance instructor, usually very very impressive dancers. Lessons vary each week providing a fun, social atmosphere, that is unpredictable to regular Robson Square goers. Show-case dancers perform dressed in full competitive costumes, making the two twenty-minute show-cases the highlights of each night. These usually impress the audience and, I tell ya, they intimidate a few of them including myself.
Dance couples and teams are usually chosen in advance, these come from local dance studios to perform. This is a chance to see ballroom at its best with performances which may include Standard, Latin or Social dances: such as Waltz, Cha-Cha, Tango, Jive, Swing (in its many varied forms) and Salsa, my favorite. During the general dancing, DJs play a mixed selection of ballroom and social dance music for the audience to enjoy, so that nobody is left out. I tell ya, these nights are a great way to punctuate your Friday plans!
