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.
