In Toronto, we are very lucky to have a wonderful choice of groups we can join. In a Social Group, you do a number of dances, after briefing by an instructor. There is no need to bring a partner. Different groups are for different levels of dancers. Groups labelled "beginners" welcome even the rawest dancers.
Below is a list of the groups sorted by day of week. There is a separate list at the bottom of groups for children.
On top of all these groups, there are classes run by the branch on Thursday nights.
All phone numbers are for area code 416 unless indicated otherwise.
If there are any corrections, changes or additions to this list, please E-mail Ron Macnaughton.
