We’ve all heard it before, practice makes perfect. While perfection is a nice concept, the real goal of dance practice is improvement, exercise and hanging out with friends. VBDS offers four practices to do just that.
Here are Google Maps links to our two practice facilities:
Les Passmore / Saanich Silver Threads | Cedar Hill Rec Centre

Les Passmore / Saanich Silver Threads (members & non-members)

Sundays, 11:30 am-1:00 pm
Les Passmore / Saanich Silver Threads (members only).
This practice is for experienced dancers at the Silver or higher level. The music format is different than the other practices, the 30 minutes are dedicated to the Latin dances and the second hour, the Standard dances. The music sequence is four or five of the same genre are played before moving onto the next giving ample time to focus on figures. West Coast Swing is not played at these practices.
From time to time things may change, practices may temporarily yield to special workshops. Always check the calendar for up-to-date info.
