Brent Mawdsley will be teaching square dancing in a 10 session course over 5 weeks from May 28 to June 27, 2019, in Burnaby.
Modern Square Dancing is a great way for families, couples, or singles to have fun, laugh, make friends, exercise, reduce stress, improve memory skills, and build a strong neighbourhood community, all while dancing to great family-friendly music.
No dance experience or special clothing is required. Come as you are in comfortable clothes and shoes for dancing.
Brent will provide all instruction and dancing entertainment every Tuesday and Thursday from May 28 to June 27, 2019. Doors open at 6:45 pm with instruction and dancing from 7:00 to 8:30 pm.
You can sign up at the door on May 28 or 30. Your first night on either of these dates is FREE with no obligation.
If you would like to learn more and keep dancing, the cost is just $60 / person for the 10 sessions and a family rate is available on request.
The location on May 28 is the Burnaby Lake Rowing Pavilion, 6871 Roberts St, Burnaby. Then all further dances (May 30 and June 4, 6, 11, 13, 18, 20, 25 & 27) will be at the Wesburn Community Centre, 4781 Parkwood Ave, Burnaby.
