Ready, set, dance! A new dance studio is coming to Saanich Plaza. The Arthur Murray Dance Centre will open its doors on Saturday with several complimentary dance classes, a ribbon cutting ceremony and a cocktail party.
Beginning at noon on Aug. 24, dancers can try their hands at swing/jive, hustle, tango and salsa. The evening celebrations are set to begin at 6 p.m. with a reception, the ribbon cutting at 6:30 p.m. and a dance party from 7 to 9 p.m.
Saanich Coun. Ned Taylor is scheduled to make a speech at the ceremony and might even be convinced to get his groove on. Dance party attendees are asked to wear cocktail attire.
Those interested in taking part in the free lessons can register online or call the studio to reserve a spot.
The studio and its four dance teachers will be led by owner and teacher Daniel Seguin, who began taking dance lessons in 1992. After travelling and training to become an Arthur Murray dance teacher, he came to Victoria.
