Thursday Folk Dancing Program
Holiday Party tomorrow!


In-person folk dancing at Walnut Road Elementary School (16152 - 82 Ave Surrey) continues on Thursday December 9.
We dance from 7:15 to 9:45 pm (doors open 7 pm).
Enter the gym through the doors at the rear of the building.

Below, you will find the special Holiday dancing program for the evening.
It includes requests from you, and live music by both Marie and Steve!

Some SIFD members will be serving COVID friendly finger-food at the break.
Bring a water bottle or other beverage for yourself.


To keep everyone safe, we are required to follow a Safety Plan. The last page is included farther down in this email. Please note that all participants will be asked to show proof of vaccination (both shots). You can show us your paper vaccine card or your vaccine passport on your phone. We will also ask you to sign consent to provide contact information to the Fraser Health Authority should contact tracing be required. Everyone will wear a mask and dance socially distanced, without holding hands. If you have any COVID symptoms or are not feeling well, please wait until you are better before joining us.

Looking forward to dancing with you in the gym tomorrow evening!
