NYE 2027 Waltz Dance Party & Beginner Lessons

About this party

This is New Year's Eve at an older, gentler pace: a waltz party in St Barnabas Hall on Hampton Avenue in Riverdale, organised by Simon Threlkeld, who runs Toronto's long-standing waltz dances. The evening opens with beginner lessons from 6:15 to 8:20 pm, so you can arrive with no experience and still be on the floor by the time the party starts. The dance itself runs from 8:30 to 11 pm, giving you a good two and a half hours on the floor. The night wraps up before midnight. The organizer suggests an optional, informal midnight toast nearby for anyone who wants to carry on together. It's a good fit for couples looking for something different, singles who'd like a friendly social setting, and anyone who prefers a dance hall to a club. Ticket details and registration are on the organizer's website. Broadview station is the closest subway stop.
