You need to dance. You don’t know when it started. Maybe it was the first time you held a dance partner in your arms and felt the magnetic attraction as you swayed together as one body with music playing. Maybe it was a piece of music that just got your feet moving to the beat. However it started, you love the magic of moving together to great music.
The Greater Vancouver area enjoys a strong dance community. The vision of two people in particular, Andy and Wendy Wong, allowed ballroom dancing to flourish under their 20-year leadership of The Grand Ballroom, Canada’s largest ballroom dance studio. After the Grand Ballroom closed, George and Wendy Pytlik, who assisted Andy and Wendy in more than 1,500 group class lessons over several years at the Grand Ballroom, began serving the communities south and east of Richmond. People from Tsawwassen, Ladner, Surrey, New Westminster, Langley, Burnaby and surrounding communities including Port Moody now have the ability to attend high quality ballroom dance lessons conveniently close by. George and Wendy have since taught nearly 2,000 group classes through Delta Dance.
High quality instruction in your community
The goal is to establish this region, east and south of Richmond/Vancouver, as a hub for quality ballroom dance lessons and activities.
