Q. - What is a Demo event?
A. - At a Demo event you will be able to watch experienced dancers practice their dance, and you will get a feel for what it could be like for you to participate in our activity!
Q. - What is a Try-It opportunity?
A. - A 'Try-It' opportunity will be for anyone to learn a few basic steps of the designated dance type, no dance experience required at all!
Q. - What is an INTRO or Try-it EVENT?
A. - An INTRO or Try-it Event is more time and more in-depth than a 'Try-It' opportunity. You will be on the dance floor for approximately two hours, and get real hands on (feet on) experience! Again no dance experience is required!

Q. - What is Cued Ballroom?
A. - Cued Ballroom is couples dancing traditional rhythms such as ‘Cha-Cha', ‘Two-step’, 'Waltz', 'Rumba', and ‘Foxtrot’. The moves are cued – so no one has to lead, and the whole group is doing the same moves at the same time. It’s a perfect date night activity!
Q. - What is Square Dancing?
A. - Square Dancing is done with a group of 8 people. The moves are taught and then led by the caller. A variety of music is used, no special attire is required, singles are welcome! If you can walk, you can square dance! Come prepared for lots of laughter!
