February 19 is our alternative Valentine's Party date! See the program below. Bring finger food to share and wear red or pink so we can pretend it's Valentine's Day!
Registration has opened for Lyrids Folk Dance Festival. Register now here. For half-price you could be a work-exchange volunteer, if you don’t mind missing a few hours of dancing to work in the festival market and help with snacks, for example. Do you know someone (non-dancer, perhaps?) who would be interested in helping a lot, or being our photographer in exchange for meals? See more about the prices here.
Make sure to scan this newsletter for activities and events you might be interested in, and send in any announcements you would like to share with the other dancers to newsletter@burnabyfolkdance.org
Please direct suggestions and feedback to the contact form on the website, or directly to the club email.
This year we are celebrating 40 years! See below the dances done in 1987 for your interest.

If you would turn left you will see the Squalicum Yacht Club in front of you.
From the South, you can take Holly Street through town to "F" Street. Turn left onto F street toward the water and across the train tracks to Roeder. Turn right onto Roeder Ave Continue on Roeder to Coho Way (City Mac Store) Turn Left onto Coho Way. The first possible right is "N. Harbor Loop Drive".
