SalsaVancouver.net was
established in 2005 by Stephen and Jennifer Dancey to provide
comprehensive information about salsa events and dance classes
offered by event organizers and instructors in Vancouver.
We also run the Dancey
Ballroom and Dance Studio, where we offer
dance classes with some of Vancouver's best instructors and
weekly social dance events.
As well as promoting and
supporting Vancouver's salsa dance community, we organize
salsa dance classes, workshops and events, and special events
such as Sunday
Afternoon Salsa at Robson Square, a series
of free, weekly, salsa dances held outdoors in downtown Vancouver
every summer. This event has grown to become one of Vancouver's
annual summer festivals and is the largest and most popular
annual salsa event for salsa dancers in Vancouver.
In addition we organize
events which strengthen community partnerships for the salsa
dance community, including our annual Salsa For The Kids fundraisers
for The
KidSafe Project Society which provides support
for at-risk, inner-city children and youth in East Vancouver.
SalsaVancouver.net
