Robson Square 2024
Starting June 28, running every Friday until August 30
June 28th marks the first Friday back to 2024 Robson Square Summer Dance Series! Organized by DanceSportBC
Everyone is welcome to this fabulous and free outdoor dance event, no partner, no experience required. The night starts with a lesson designed for beginners and people looking for a refresher. The lesson is followed by lots of social dancing and spectacular performances by local professionals and students of all ages and skills from nearby dance studios.
Each Friday night begins at 7:00 pm with a free beginner lesson.
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 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.
Volunteering
Volunteering at Robson Square is fun and flexible. There are a variety of positions, from concession sales, to setup and take down, as well as Donation Collectors, aka ‘Bunnies’! Volunteers will be provided with snacks and a lite dinner. There are many large costs to run the event, so support from volunteers is crucial to an amazing summer.
