Vancouver English Country Dance events are held at two venues:
We dance on designated Sunday afternoons/evenings, with a short break at half-time.
Admission is $15.
Dances are led by Heather Webster, and occasional guest callers from out of town.
If you're new to English Country Dance, we strongly encourage you to arrive in time for an introductory session that starts 15 minutes before the dance.
If you're interested in calling or playing in the open stage band at one of our dances, contact Heather Webster at [email protected].
