The Rumba is often called the “dance of love” — expressive, smooth, and full of character. It’s the perfect dance to refine balance, connection, and musicality. This fall, we’re inviting you to explore it in our Bronze and Pre-Bronze classes with Wanda Kivitt.
Bronze – Rumba
Wednesdays at 6:30 PM · Les Passmore
Our Bronze Rumba class is the essential next step for dancers looking to grow their technique and style. But it’s at risk of cancellation unless more dancers register soon. Whether you are an experienced dancer or recently completed Pre-Bronze, this is your chance to step up, deepen your skills, and be part of the pathway toward Silver level classes in 2026.
Not quite ready for Bronze? Our Pre-Bronze Waltz & Cha Cha class is an excellent stepping stone. Build confidence, refine fundamentals, and set yourself up to progress into Bronze next season.
Unfortunately, our Intermediate class had to be cancelled this session due to low enrollment.
Let’s Keep Dancing Forward
VBDS is committed to offering long-term opportunities for experienced dancers. But we can only do that together. Register now, secure your spot, and help make these classes a success. With your support, Bronze this year can grow into Silver next year — and keep the rhythm alive for all of us.

We regret to announce that the Silver/Gold Syllabus & Technique class with Victor has been cancelled this fall session. While we received requests for higher level classes, only one couple showed interest in registering for this class. As a volunteer-run society, we are committed to offering inspiring classes that are also feasible to run—and that requires a minimum number of dancers.
Location: Les Passmore Time: Sundays at 10:00 AM Dates: September 21, October 5, October 19 Duration: 3 × 90 minutes
Focus on reverse figures across Waltz, Tango, and Foxtrot with WDSF syllabus material. Improve balance, connection, and technique with expert instruction.
Location: Les Passmore Time: Wednesdays at 6:30 PM Dates: September 17 – October 22 Duration: 6 × 60 minutes + optional practice
This series strengthens Bronze-level technique in Rumba and sets the foundation for higher levels. With consistent participation, our aim is to grow this stream into a Silver class in 2026.
While the Silver/Gold class won’t run this fall, we are committed to building feasible learning opportunities for experienced dancers. Your participation makes it possible for VBDS to offer classes for all members.

What’s next? Your Newcomer Journey
After the Intro, we’ll continue with a 6-week Newcomer Series to build a steady foundation and start your
committed dance journey.
The Newcomer Series requires a VBDS membership, which comes with excellent value—especially for practice time:
Tip: Many dancers take the Intro twice, then jump into Newcomer with a solid foundation—it’s a great way to feel comfortable from day one.
