[Canceled] Ballroom Essentials 1A Starts
|
Sugar Foot Ballroom, 10545 81 ave
Ballroom dances are also known as the flight dances because they get you sweeping across the dancefloor in unison with your partner. With their walks, spins, pivots, dips and turns, you're sure to have fun! Latin dancing can spice it up on the dancefloor with its quick-paced rhythms and playful movement.
Ballroom 1A will teach you the Waltz and the Mambo!
This series will offer the essentials needed to dance both Ballroom and Latin dances! This class is for the beginner and novice.
Please Note: This class is 1 hour in length with 15 minutes of practice time |

Relay For Life is an inspirational, non-competitive, 12-hour overnight fundraising event that brings you and your community together to celebrate life and fight cancer. Relay has a festival-like atmosphere that your family, friends and co-workers can enjoy regardless of age or fitness level!
Teams of 10-15 people fundraise individually and as a team to help the Canadian Cancer Society save lives and support those who are facing cancer. Relay participants make a commitment to raise at least $100 and are supported with the tools to reach their goals.
At Relay, teams gather with cancer survivors at their local track, stadium or sports field and take turns walking laps all night. Each team keeps at least one member on the track at all times, while all around them the party is in full swing. Teams stay overnight in the decorated tent city, united to enjoy music, food, activities and entertainment and to celebrate life.
