The Sugar Foot Ballroom is Edmonton's newest place to party. We are officially opening the doors to Edmonton's only real ballroom on Saturday, October 20th, and we invite you to join us for these celebrations. Everyone is welcome to partake in these celebrations. We will have classes throughout the day, cocktails, performances, speeches, and a "rug cutting" ceremony! We will get the party started with a drop-in beginner lesson, and then we will party all night long with a swing dance (9pm-12am) and then party with alternative music from 12-1am.
The Sugar Foot Ballroom believes that everyone can dance, regardless of partner, age, gender, and appearance. Socializing and community is a part of who we are, and we believe dancing should perfectly combine incredible music, art, and celebration within our community. Every person should dance to receive greater joy!
We are a ballroom in the very old-time sense. We offer dance classes and social dance events in a variety of dance styles. Because this club was founded by a lindy hopper, we currently have a lot of swing dancing offered, but we are rearranging things and are expanding quickly to include anything from Contemporary/Modern, to Blues, to Jazz, to Tap, to Tango, to Ballroom. Through our services (classes, events, private functions), we bring people together and provide a platform for both artistic expression and social gathering. Everything we do centers around an enjoyable, inspiring experience!
Please bear with us as we expand our class registration system, put the finishing touches on our space, and complete making this website.
