Balboa Park Dancers monthly party

Our September party will be hosted by Vanessa Williams.

Vanessa has been Ballroom Dancing for more than 20 years, originally competing in the Amateur International Standard division in her native New Zealand before moving to the U.S. She started teaching over 12 years ago, training in the American dance styles in a Pennsylvania studio. In 2005 she and her husband moved to San Diego, where she loves to share her joy of dance with students of all ages and abilities. She teaches social and wedding dances as well as training and competing with students in Pro-Am competition. Vanessa is the Dance Program Director for Let's Dance Kids!, a non-profit foundation based in the South Bay School District which provides Ballroom Dance training to children who might not otherwise have the opportunity.

There is open dancing to a wide variety of ballroom music and a number of mixers. Vanessa will teach a short lesson to get everyone dancing.

We are resuming the potluck tradition. We ask attendees to bring finger foods - sweet and savory. While we prefer disposable containers you can bring an appropriate serving dish if you wish, remember to retrieve it before the party is over. Too many people bring sweet items such as cookies and cakes, unless you have an overwhelming sweet tooth, think about bringing chips, pretzels, crackers, or vegetables instead.

*****$6.00 entrance fee for the evening for non-members.
