FVS&RDA Sponsored Gala Events

The Gala started from an idea from Mary Holz to hold a fancy ball. With this in mind the FVS&RDA booked Hycroft Manor in Vancouver for the first three Galas. Since then most Galas have taken place at Confederation Senior Centre in Burnaby (a much more central location) and two have taken place at Kennedy Hall in Surrey (also a central location). From the first three dances at Hycroft manor it became obvious that most of our dancers did not want to go into Vancouver or wear fancy dress. However, once we started with the themed dances dancers really responded and made the effort to support the theme.

In order to keep the dance vital we have changed callers/cuers/locations and themes. The following is a list of the Galas over the years.
