Sunday Afternoon Salsa at Robson Square 2018
This summer marks the 12th anniversary of the free Sunday Afternoon Salsa dances at Robson Square!
If you're part of Vancouver's salsa dance community, you already know that dancing at Robson Square on Sunday afternoons in the summer is an amazing experience. Many people say it's their favourite dance event of the year – with the huge attendance and the welcoming and inclusive atmosphere. What you may not know is the event is expensive to run, and the Sunday Afternoon Salsa dances rely 100% on donations and sponsorship to survive.
Started in 2006 by Jennifer and Stephen Dancey of Dancey Studios (yes, Dancey really is their last name), Sunday Afternoon Salsa at Robson Square runs every summer, rain or shine, completely FREE to the public. Jennifer and Stephen, with their team of volunteers, have nurtured this once small, spontaneous dance event for Vancouver salsa dancers into a huge community event that is now one of the highlights of the Vancouver summer festival season.
For summer 2018 the fees have increased to rent the Robson Square space and in total it now costs over $1,000 per day to put on these free events, including the cost of renting the actual Robson Square space, the cost for access to use the washrooms and janitorial services, rental of the sound system, and more.
Thankfully, the Sunday Afternoon Salsa dance series receives sponsorship support from the Downtown Vancouver Business Improvement Association, which covers a large proportion of the expenses. But to meet our fundraising goal for this summer we are turning to you, our wonderful dance community, to support the event in any amount that you can.
Robson Square Salsa 2018 GoFundMe Campaign
This year's GoFundMe fundraising goal of $3,000 will cover the expenses not already met by the existing event sponsorship. Consider that typical admission to a salsa dance event costs about $10 or $12, how many Sundays do you think you'll attend at Robson Square this summer?
Please donate and help keep the Sunday Afternoon Salsa dance series running this summer.
Thank you in advance for your support.
