OTHER EVENTS For information on other Salsa, Bachata, Kizomba, and/or Brazilian Zouk events in Edmonton, see the YEG Dancer Facebook Page, Instagram Page, Facebook Group, or Meetup Group. FAQ What are the workshop levels? The workshops are open to all levels of dancers, but some exposure to these styles is required to get the most out of the training. The instructors will provide techniques/variations tailored to each student's current level to ensure everyone is appropriately challenged. What to bring for footwear? Latin Dance shoes are recommended, but not required. Any clean pair of shoes that is comfortable and not grippy on the floor will work. For newer dancers, we recommend wearing comfortable flats with a non-sticky sole that you can dance in for multiple hours (Fuego sneakers, Taygra sneakers, leather soled ballet flats, suede soled jazz shoes, and Toms are all great options). You may also choose to dance in socks if you do not yet have appropriate footwear. What to wear? Workout outfits are typically what people wear to the daytime workshops, but other outfits may be appropriate as long as they are comfortable enough to dance in (not too tight, not too short, not too warm, allows you to move your arms, hips, torso, and rest of the body easily, not a tripping hazard, etc.). Can we book private lessons? Our instructors will have extremely limited availability for privates. Payment is required in advance to secure your time slot. Email yeg.dancer.events@gmail.com to book. Can you tell me more about the venue? Sugar Swing Ballroom is a beautiful special events venue with sprung hardwood floors and bar service in the Whyte Avenue neighbourhood. While in the space, attendees are subject to the Sugar Swing Code of Conduct ensuring a safe space to learn and practice the art of partner dancing. What are the venue's policies? No outdoor shoes inside the studio. Bring a clean pair of indoor shoes (non-marking) to ensure we do not damage the studio's floor. What should I bring for food? A refillable water bottle and whatever you may like to consume during the breaks. Let us know in advance if you have any allergies. Do I need to bring a partner? You do not need to register with a partner as we will rotate partners throughout. What if I have more questions? If you have any questions, please feel free to message us. And remember, we're building a friendly and inclusive community so be sure to do your part! 🛁 Smell nice

The Canada World Water Park is located at the Edmonton West Edmonton Shopping Center and is the largest indoor water park in North America. There is a huge artificial wave pool, which is super exciting when the waves are high like a seaside storm. A variety of high-speed slides, such as speed slides, Cyclones, etc., let people experience the thrill of the wind. The rafting river can enjoy leisure time comfortably. The children&#39;s play area has rich facilities, which is very suitable for bringing children to play. It is a good place for the whole family to share joy.

小思文

Edmonton Valley Park is a wetland park and a very good natural area of the city. The fresh water resources here are very abundant. The Valley Park can enjoy many bird varieties and the number of plants is also very rich.

82 Avenue Northwest

White Avenue is a very important traffic artery, and it is also a place where you can enjoy a lot of beautiful city scenery. On this road, you can see some very interesting shopping areas, and it is very convenient to buy things. I really like the visiting environment here.
