Our beginner-friendly dance lessons take place before each social dance and are designed to be easy, welcoming, and fun – no experience or partner required. Whether you’re brand new to dancing or brushing up on your steps, our lessons make it easy to join in and enjoy the evening. We welcome new and returning members, as well as visitors looking for social dancing, live music, and a welcoming community in Calgary. From learning the basics to dancing the night away, you’ll find plenty of opportunities to connect, socialize, and have fun.
We also encourage volunteers to get involved by helping organize additional singles events and social activities in Calgary. Volunteering is a great way to meet people, build community, and support a long-standing local organization.
