Royal City Square Dance club hosts international convention

The Royal City Square Dance Club is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2012 with events throughout the year.

In April, the club joined in the festivities of the first Canadian Dance Assembly’s  National Dance Week, starting on April 22. During the week-long I love dance/J’aime la danse national campaign, dancers across Canada participated in special events, embracing the  landscape of Canadian dance.

On May 4, 5, and 6, an international crowd of square and round dancers will descend on Guelph when the Toronto and District Square and Round Dance Association holds its annual convention at the University of Guelph.

The event will include a session of contra dancing to live music.

The public is invited to pick up a free visitor ribbon at the registration desk and watch the dancing.

On Saturday, the community is invited to join in a free introduction to square dancing. It will be in the main gym from 4:30 to 5:30pm. For more information, contact Yvonne Paterson, at yvonnepaterson88@yahoo.com or call her at 519-936-7289.
