Fall Programs!
Happy Autumn! Get your calendar ready, there is lots to look forward to.
First of all: DANCES! We've had a lot of enthusiasm for our square dances, line-dancing, and swing dancing with instruction, so we’re offering more of these, plus some free-style offerings. These dances are licensed, and you can bring the kids, and have loads of fun with friends and neighbours on the sprung wood floor at the Ross Creek Annex, 2182 Sheffield Road, Canning NS.
You can buy tickets individually or get a subscription to all 9 dances for the price of 8!
