Divorced Women

**Welcome to Miss Bachata & Miss Salsa!** As the winter season wraps our city in its gentle sparkle, our community shines even brighter. This time of year reminds us how meaningful it feels to step into a space filled with warmth, laughter, music, and friendly faces—exactly the kind of energy we create together every Monday. While the world outside cools down, our dance floor becomes a cozy haven of joy, connection, and beautifully shared moments. Every Monday feels like a touch of winter magic… only with a whole lot more rhythm. My objective has always been to create a different kind of social gathering—one that is open, non-judgmental, non-salacious, and safe. A place where you can meet people just like you, where socializing and dancing come together to help build community and tear down the walls that separate us. Here, we make new friends, feel a sense of belonging, and enjoy the calmness that comes from knowing we are in a safe and welcoming space. Many times, I have been asked, “Why host an event on Monday night?” Many people escape on the weekend and dread Mondays when they return to work. I believe that if you dance and socialize on a Monday, you infuse your week with joy and positive energy, giving your life balance and helping you face your challenges with enthusiasm and confidence. We’re also thrilled to announce that our trial of advanced Bachata lessons, which began last September, has been a resounding success! Building on this momentum, we’re excited to offer an enhanced schedule for 2025. Our dance evenings will now feature three hours of classes: one hour of beginner to intermediate Bachata, one hour of advanced Bachata, and one hour of beginner to intermediate Salsa. As always, the entrance fee remains $15 for a night of 2 lessons and social dancing. For those interested in the advanced Bachata lessons, there will be an additional $5 fee. Here’s our updated schedule: **Miss Bachata – Main Ballroom** ❄️ 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm: Beginner to Intermediate Bachata Lesson (No partner required) ❄️ 8:00 pm – 12:00 am: Social Dancing **Miss Salsa – Round Room** ❄️ 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm: Advanced Bachata Lesson (+$5) NEW ❄️ 8:00 pm – 9:00 pm: Beginner to Intermediate Salsa Lesson ❄️ 9:00 pm – 12:00 am: Social Dancing **Additional Details:** ❄️ Free Parking ❄️ Full Bar (Free Water, Beer: $5.75) Over the past decade, organizing Latin dancing events in Mississauga has been a labor of love. Our mission has always been to foster a sense of community, proving that the connections we share are far stronger than the differences that divide us. Loneliness is a growing concern, with over half of U.S. adults and many Canadians experiencing its effects. The COVID-19 pandemic has only heightened this issue. Harvard University's long-term study on happiness, which began in 1938, highlights the detrimental impact of loneliness on health. People with strong social connections experience slower mental and physical decline and greater overall happiness compared to those who are isolated. Here are some key findings from the study: • Close ties help delay mental and physical decline more than money, fame, social class, IQ, or genetics. • Relationship satisfaction is a better predictor of aging well than cholesterol levels in middle age. • A strong sense of community improves memory function. • Loneliness can be as harmful to health as smoking or alcoholism. There’s hope! Strengthening our relationships and supporting community initiatives can build healthier, happier lives. Miss Bachata & Miss Salsa provides a wonderful opportunity to make new friends, expand your social circle, and enjoy a safe, welcoming, authentic environment. Bring your open heart and a smile, and we’ll take care of the rest. **Cheers to building an authentic, joyful, and connected community!** **Anna G.** https://www.meetup.com/LatinDanceMeetup https://www.facebook.com/groups/1871491806494168/ https://www.facebook.com/EventsByAnnaG

Intimate gatherings, heart-centered workshops, soulful conversations and lots of questions and answers over coffee! I host the Antiquity United Circle regularly, designed to bring back the village in an attempt to fight loneliness. I stress on bringing our community back together again by sharing all our intimate stories with each other - because somewhere we forgot to be raw, open and vulnerable. Somewhere we started hiding our truths that we became too afraid to talk about with our own family maybe because we didn't want to upset them, or maybe because they wouldn't get it - or maybe we have tried and they really just never did - or worse still, maybe we never even learned how to talk to them. Or maybe we just don't have anyone. No family, no "real" friends. Or perhaps these are stories we are too scared to tell others because we are stuck behind the facade of our perfect smiles, stories we bury deep inside of us because we feel no one will understand, nor even care. Stories we keep pushing deep within us just because we have other, "more important" things to deal with- the real life stuff you know! Or other people to take care of rather than our own self. Until those stories become so monumental within every fibre in our bodies that sometimes we want to finish it all I know. Because I am that someone, who wanted to finish it all. But I wasn't meant to. I guess I had to go through decades of loneliness and fight through every battle, while keeping that perfectly happy smile during the day, and thinking of ways and means to end it all by night. And yet, I just kept going, somehow. Today, after going through every battle internally and alone in my life, I am here standing tall and strong. I’m ready to build a community because I know first hand that Second Chances is a real thing because I was finally able to break free from it all. Today I stand tall and strong, ready to share my story, and tell you that it is possible to break free. And I want to also shout out from rooftops that there is no bravado in fighting alone. We NEED each other, that Loneliness can not become the new age epidemic, I refuse to become another statistic, and I refuse to let someone else breaking within become one. Because we matter! You matter. And I matter! Exemplifying through my own story after extreme states of hopelessness and loneliness and extreme final thoughts, Second Chances ARE possible and beautifully so! I have therefore formed The Antiquity United Circle, as part of my not-for-profit venture Vision One World for BOTH Women and Men in our society who are otherwise considered a write-off after a certain age, be it in the work place, be it on the home front, be it a narrative we have convinced our own selves of…But thus far, no further! I know there are people out there at this very moment thinking about how to end it all. But I want to reach out to you that it doesn't have to be that way: that I am one of many examples in this world, here to tell you openly- no more hiding in shame, that I was there. But no matter where you are in life, it’s NOT the end- nothing ever is. So come and join me, form the Antiquity United Circle. Here I will talk to you openly, honestly about my life, no filters, and invite you to share your story- no judgement, only deep understanding of everyone's unique journeys. I am not intending to find solutions to your 'problems' - that is something you must find on your own, but I promise to share things that you perhaps might draw similarities from, and see that you're truly not alone. The Antiquity United Circle will be that family for you, that some of us were never blessed to have. And THAT will make a difference, I promise you So! Let's bring back our village we lost a long time ago and come and join me in my coffee and conversations I host regularly. There will be activities planned throughout the year, so come on, time to live, breathe, and find the one answer that finally set me free!! Just one request please: the gatherings are always free of charge, however, I do require an RSVP please- and also, if you do confirm your attendance, please: show up 😊 Thanks, and see you!
