I have heard a rumour that Robson Square dancing is back on Fridays in this Summer 2010. Is that correct? I hope so because I missed it so much – I missed seeing all my friends. Can you tell me when it starts please?

I’m so happy to finally see a public summer ballroom dancing series back in Downtown Vancouver! Friday nights in the summer used to be a highlight of my week, and I was sad to see it stopped when the renovations began on the skating rink. Performing this year at the event brought back many great memories which I’m sure a lot of us have.

I was able to snap a few photos (including the ones seen in this article) during the teaching and demos in between my own rounds. You can view the photos by going to the following link: http://bydm.ca/portfolio/dance/robson2009/

Thanks DSBC for organizing this event and everyone who involved in making it happened this year. I am looking forward for it to return again next year.

I live in the states (USA) and often found myself traveling up for the Robson Square dances. always an excellent atmosphere, nice people and a great variety of talent. Looking forward to the dance in August. Appreciate your efforts!!

Hello Robson Square Enthusiasts,

Thanks for your comments. The Robson Square DSBC Team is working hard to make Robson Square happen this year. With the ice rink still under construction, we will not be able to use it again this summer. We have looked at other alternate sites but suitable outdoor venues with covers are non-existent. We have just recently confirmed the outdoor area in front of the Art Gallery on the West Georgia side downtown. Although still in the planning stage, the proposed dates are FRIDAY, 21 AUG 09 in the evening and SATURDAY, 22 AUG 09 in the afternoon, 2 consecutive days. Running Robson Square at this new venue is a big production as we have to bring in a dance floor and tent, set-up and take-down will each take more than 2-3 hours assuming we have 10 able and willing volunteers to help. This is the latest information we have at this time. Please check back for updates.

If you wish to subscribe to our email list please do so from the home page on our website and you will be sent our monthly e-newsletter.

Regards, Pinky Wong President, DanceSport BC

Good Morning,

My friend & I were thinking about taking these dance lessons. Were you able to find another location for them? Are they still Friday nights? What time? Any other info you could provide us with would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Tracy
