Robson Square 2019
Starting July 5th, running every Friday, ending on August 23rd
Free dance lessons, performances, and social dancing from 7:15 pm to late, every Friday under the domes at Robson Square!
Free lesson starts at 7:30pm, followed by social dancing and demonstrations.
Everyone is welcome to this outdoor dance event, no partner, no experience required. The lessons are for beginners and people looking for a refresher. Performances and demonstrations are by local professionals, students from local dance schools, and dance clubs.
Social Ballroom Dancing has been at Robson Square on Friday nights since 1979! With more than 500 attendees a night, people of all ages gather for a fun-filled night of dancing. Whether you are a dance professional or have two left feet; on your 3rd date or your first; with a group of old friends or getting to know a new city, these Friday night dances are for you.
As always, we are an outdoor event that runs rain or shine, as we are well protected by the beautiful domes.
Robson is run 100% on the support of volunteers. We have a variety of roles from assisting at bag check, to helping collect donations from the audience. We need everyone to consider signing up for some shifts. Food is provided to all volunteers. Please fill out the google form below.
