What to expect on a Dance Night:

In an attempt to promote Christian artists in social dance, we offer social dancing entirely to music recorded or written by Christians.
Visit our Dance Calendar Page for our full schedule of dances.


People of all ages and walks of life come to dance at Christian Social Dance Association events.  We offer real dancing for real men and real women in an atmosphere that celebrates the life that God gave us.  It is not centered on sex and alcohol.

On each dance night at 7pm, Tim and Lori Veach teach a semi-private "Introduction to Social Dance class" that is designed for persons who have never been on a dance floor before.  It is available only by reservation.  To attend this class, email Tim and Lori at admin@christiansoicaldance.org or call Tim at 503.341.7398.  This class is free with purchase of admission to the dance.

The evening begins for the rest of us at 7:30pm.  Before each social dance, there is always a one hour dance lesson designed for advanced and beginning dancers and taught by a professional dance instructor.  This lesson is free with purchase of admission to the dance.

The Social Dance begins at 8:30pm.  It is much like other Ballroom social dances in that we offer a mix of music to dance Ballroom, Latin, and Swing throughout the evening.  We also mix into the dance a little Country Western. 

We are frequently asked, What makes us different from all other Ballroom social dances? 

1. We begin each event with a short prayer asking God's Spirit to join us in our celebration. 

2. We do all our dances entirely to music recorded and/or written by Christian artists.  It's not necessarily all "Church music" -- but it can be!  See: "About Our Dance Music" near the bottom of this page.  You can also listen online to some of our unique dance music.


Non-Discrimination Policy:
 
The Christian Social Dance Association admits persons of any religious faith, race, gender, age, disability, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to persons at any of its events.  It does not discriminate on the basis of religious faith, race, gender, age, disability, color, national and ethnic origin in the administration of its teaching policies, admission policies, or volunteer programs. 

Discrimination Policy:

The Christian Social Dance Association reserves the right to remove anyone from its events that in the administration's opinion is promoting a non Christian lifestyle at our events.
