Come join us for our Back to School Edition of Slowdance Night in Montreal! As the nights get colder, it's nice to find a pair of warm arms to hold you.With a lending library of designated dancers for all you wallflowers, and a dancecard-booklet to set up dances in advance, Slowdance Night has all slow songs, all night long!
Sway, turn and twirl your way through the hipster's alternative to speed-dating. It's high school with a happy ending, and it's queer, senior, and couple-friendly too.
