The First Dancing in the Park event was held on July 16th, 2016 at the Legislature Grounds in Edmonton. The event saw hundreds of people enjoying the varied dance performances on a beautiful and bright evening. With our inaugural year being such a huge success, we are looking forward to bringing this festival back in 2017! If you love nature, if you love dance, or if you are just looking for a unique afternoon out, come and spend some time with Edmonton’s Best Dance Company (Vue Magazine 2014, 2015) and the incredible team from Let’s Swing. The event has free admission, so bring the whole family! There will be food and available throughout the afternoon.
