Practice sessions
are taking place on Friday evenings in the gym at North Saanich Middle School. Attending weekly practices is a great way to keep your dancing skills fresh, plus they are a fun social evening out with your ballroom dance friends. The gym is a very spacious venue with a smooth hardwood floor. As we don’t charge a membership fee, there is a small charge to cover costs, either $7 pp for a single drop in or $60 for a package of ten (packages never expire, are not refundable, but are interchangeable with Tuesday night practices when they resume in September). Payment can be made by e-transfer to: liz@eandrballroomdance.com or at the door (cash only & exact change is appreciated).
Private Lessons
are available and there are two studio locations to choose from…either Shawnigan Lake or Prospect Lake in Saanich. Private lessons are a very efficient way for you to focus on exactly what is important to you, whether that be increasing your repertoire with the addition of new figures, or working on your basic dance technique to improve the overall qualify of your dancing. Perhaps you are keen to aim for a medal test, or even thinking about venturing onto the competition floor for the first time! For more information, or to make a booking, please send an e-mail to: liz@eandrballroomdance.com
Wedding Dance Preparation
Are you getting married this summer? The Wedding Reception traditionally includes a solo dance for the newly married couple. This aspect of your special day deserves as much attention to detail as the ceremony, attire and banquet, yet is often overlooked with the result that the newly married couple simply do the uninspiring “high school prom night hug & sway”. We do a great deal of wedding dance preparation and would be pleased to assist you. We can choreograph a beautiful routine to your chosen piece of music so that you will feel confident approaching the dance floor and your presentation will be polished, enjoyable and memorable. Plus, your new-found ballroom dance skills will lay the foundation for an activity that you can enjoy together for the rest of your lives. Send an e-mail to: liz@eandrballroomdance.com to get in touch and get started on your wedding dance preparation journey today!
Group classes
will be starting again in September. Our most popular course is the Social Ballroom Dance Level 1, which provides a well-rounded introduction to several basic figures in the most popular ballroom, latin & swing dance styles. Level 1 is followed by Levels 2, 3, Pre-Bronze, Bronze & Beyond Bronze. We also offer a wide variety of shorter courses which focus on only one or two dance styles so there are lots of options depending upon your budget and time availability.
