The Mavericks Welcome You to Canada's Oldest Continually Dancing Square Dance Club!

Welcome to our website. The Mavericks are the oldest square dance club in Canada having been incorporated in 1952.

COVID-19 Update re Dances:
  • We are looking to restart our programs in January 2022.
  • The restart will depend on the current PHO regulations at the time.

COVID-19 Update re Lessons/Classes:
  • Lessons this year have been postponed to coincide with the PHO regulations.
  • A decision about lessons will be made in January 2022.

We dance on the first and third Fridays of each month from September to May at the Royal Oak Hall on West Saanich Road (Find Us).

For the 2021–2022 dance season, our caller couple is Marilynne and Alan Cunningham. Marilynne and Alan are based on Salt Spring Island and have many years of calling and queing experience. With their guidance, our dances are at a Mainstream level with Round Dancing at a Phase 2/3 level.

Please explore our website and plan to join us for a dance or sign up for classes. It's a great way to have a fun evening, meet new people, and as a bonus, top up your step count for the day!

Come with a partner or on your own. All are welcome!

Did you know... that once you can dance Mainstream, you are able to dance anywhere in the world as it's always called in English!

Marc, Mavericks President​

Current Status

Hello fellow square and round dancers and prospective dancers,

The Mavericks hope you are all safe and well !!!

Note: Please see the Covid-19 updates in the President's Message above.

Although we are not currently dancing due to COVID-19, many people from the local to national level are working on ways to get us back (as soon as is possible) on the dance floor so we can be healthy, happy, and have fun together!!!

We are hoping to get things in swing for the 2022 New Year!

Best wishes,

Michael, Webmaster
The Mavericks Square Dance Club of Victoria

Mavericks Photography Policy

  • ​No flash photography!
  • All photographs and videos of people are by explicit agreement with a photographer:
    • If you would like your photo taken, either individually or in a group, talk to the photographer about having it taken in the designated area.
    • If a full square of dancers want action shots, pre-arrange to have them taken at the back of the hall so other dancers aren’t included by accident.​​​

No Scents, Please!
