There is no need to bring your own dance partners. Learn partnered Blues Dance, stay for the dance party with a wonderful live band! Blues Dance goes back over 100 years and is one of the dance forms and families of dance that comes out of African-American culture. Slow Balboa is a smooth graceful Swing Dance, usually done to slower Swing music. This is part of the Live Band Sunday Night Series at La Plaza Bar. La Plaza is the new bar and cocktail lounge downstairs at Dovercourt House! An excellent bar with a good dance floor, run by friends of Swing Toronto. Enter La Plaza by going down the steps on the north side of the front landing of Dovercourt House.
