There are several outdoor dances throughout the summer in Montreal, and I know quite a few people who make the trip fairly often. Many of these dances are hosted by the city. All that is required is a sheltered smooth dance surface (polished concrete is good), electricity, lighting, and some seating. A scenic setting and washrooms would be an added bonus.
I am posting this in the hope that someone might take this idea and run with it. I know it's too late for this year, especially if the City is involved, but we could get things in place for next year.
In Verdun, there is dancing most evenings all week. Each night features anything from Argentine Tango, to Ballroom and Latin to swing dance and line dancing. Dancing outdoors in the nice weather is so delightful. It would be nice to have something like that closer to home.
Let me know if you have any suggestions as to location, volunteers, or how to proceed.
