Intergenerational Ballroom Dance


The 8-week series of intergenerational ballroom dance classes will be offered for BC Brain Wellness Program participants and UBC student volunteers. The class will start with Waltz, the classical ballroom dance. Graceful and elegant, the measured flow of the Waltz will sweep you around the dance floor in timeless style. As the series progress, we may explore other types of partner dance such as Merengue and Rumba.

When learning to dance, it is important to wear light clothes that are easy to move in, and shoes that are comfortable and do not have an aggressive tread. Dancing is athletic - bring a water bottle and be prepared to get a little sweaty. Be comfortable, ready to have fun, and hopefully be surprised by how easy it is to learn to dance.
