Sunday Salsa at St James

4pm-8pm

(Doors open at 3:45)

 
 

First dance on the new floor!

Back in May 2010 we held a fundraiser for St James to help towards the cost of having the floor refinished in their main hall. Thanks to Vancouver salsa dancers, who donated $1,070 at the event, St James was able to refinish the floor this summer. We're looking forward to dancing at St James again and our first dance on the new floor is going to be a casual Sunday afternoon social on September 12th.
