About this Event

UPDATED: We're sold out! In late 2013, people were dancing to Thrift Shop by Macklemore, and were tired of hearing Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke and Get Lucky by Daft Punk. Like super tired; let's just not go there. A small group of people had a thought: "Hey, do you think people would want to have a weekly Friday night dance to West Coast Swing music? No lessons, 100% West Coast Swing music, something that connects the Vancouver community to the greater West Coast Swing community - a dance for dancers, by dancers? Something that didn't try to grow the community, but instead gave the existing dancers somewhere to dance?" ... and so the experiment was formed! A few months later on February 7th, 2014 at 9pm, Vancouver had its first dose of Rx. Since then we've run hundreds of dances, playing thousands of songs. If we had to guess, we'd say there have been by now at least one million dances. We have it on good authority that one million is a lot! We've run spotlight nights, solo movement workshops, ticket tournaments, music anatomies, free summer and birthday dances, RxMases, sold hundreds of discounted event tickets, ran practice sessions, created numerous banners and blackouts, made lists with duplicate items, researched why turkeys are called turkeys, brought people up from Seattle, ran a whole Rx Lab series, lost dancing, and got it back. We continue to collect data on this experiment, and we're happy you're a part of it! There are no tickets at the door, and we have run out of tickets. ---[ Details ]--- 8pm-11pm 100% West Coast Swing 9:45pm Doors lock. No entry after this time. No outside shoes on the dance floor. (We really do appreciate when people read our whole post.) (No there's no duplicate item in that list...or is there?)
