Hi John! Since noone seems to have responded yet, I'll fill you in! There are dances every Friday night at the Yaletown roundhouse which is downtown and should be walking distance depending on where you are! The facebook group for that venue/event is here: https://www.facebook.com/the.rx.vancouver On Saturday the 29 th there is a dance at a new venue near Main and Broadway. It's likely not walking distance, but only a short bus ride away! https://www.facebook.com/events/748969331794710/?ref_dashboard_filter=upcoming I'll be away that weekend, so won't see you on the dance floor, but I hope you enjoy your time in Vancouver!!
