  • ~KootenayDanceNews~ Spring update

    Dear Dancers,

    I trust this message finds you well and with time to enjoy the lovely Spring weather!

    Here is a quick update: I will not be hosting any more North Shore Hall events for the time being.

    I’m extremely grateful to and appreciate everyone who joined in at our dancing events over the past few years — thank you for your participation and for all the good energy, laughter, and memorable evenings.

    The good news? Partner dancing under the stars is returning to Nelson. Before too long, and with warm evenings, we’ll be dancing once again at our unique and splendid outdoor venue near Lakeside. I’ll see you there with playlist favourites !

    Keep an eye out for announcements with dates and details coming soon!

    In the meantime, I’m pleased to continue to offer private partner dancing lessons. Personal lessons are excellent for:

    Getting started
    Building confidence and competence in leading and following
    Fine-tuning your technique and musicality
    Expanding your repertoire and your fun quotient.
    Whether you’re a beginner or looking to take your dancing to the next level, private lessons will effectively help you improve and enjoy the experience even more.

    Feel free to reach out to schedule a session or ask any questions. Private lessons for singles, and 1 or 2 couples at a time.

    Partner dancing is a joy which I enthusiastically love sharing — and it is deeply satisfying to watch someone find their rhythm, confidence, and a fun creative connection through dance.

    I’m also available for school and group classes in partner and folk dancing.

    Wishing you a beautiful Spring!

    See you soon — under the stars and on dance floors wherever we are.

    With warmest regards,

    Peter
