​Mini-bal/Jam
7:30pm-10ish on Mondays

Drop-in, suggested $10-20 donation

​

We dance to live music! No partner necessary - a welcoming environment where you can learn the dances on the dance floor.

​

The music is led by a jam leader every week, featuring a repertoire of traditional / folk dance tunes from western Europe (France / Belgium / Great Britain / Scandinavia etc.).

​

Learn the tunes ahead of time by checking out the repertoire lists posted by jam leaders on our Facebook Group Page, or bring your acoustic instrument and learn the melodies by ear in the session. 

​

Fall / Winter / Spring Mondays are held upstairs at The Wicket, 1671 Bloor St W Toronto. We encourage you to support the Wicket by purchasing some food or drink!
