Notes

We are back to dancing on the first and third Fridays of each month from September to May

at our new venue!
- Cordova Bay United Church on Claremont Avenue [See Map Below]

Lessons/Classes:

Lessons (2024-2025 Classes by Saanich Squares) starting in September

Dances:

Please bring your own water bottle
Admission: $7 per person
Masks are recommended but not required

Flooring and Footwear:
The hall has a linoleum over wood flooring. With the natural give of the floor it is the perfect surface for dancing and exercise classes.

To protect this floor we ask that people, if possible, change into indoor shoes before entering the main Hall area. If this is not possible then please check your shoe treads for rocks and to ensure they are clean.
Stilettos, high heels or tap shoes are discouraged to prevent damage to the flooring and other dancers' feet.

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!

Please be kind and come to our events scent free!
