Kanata Dance Club
About Us
We are a not-for-profit corporation dedicated to providing a fun evening out in a friendly atmosphere for singles and couples.
​
The Kanata Dance Club is organized by the Kanata Singles Club Inc., which was created in 1975 to offer a place for singles and couples to meet, socialize, and dance while creating a community of friends.
Our DJ – Bob Freeman – keeps the dance floor busy with a variety of music, including pop, swing, Latin, and slow songs. Dancing is often free-style, in groups, solo and some partner-dancing, too.
We even break into a fun line dance occasionally.
The Club is managed by a board of volunteer directors, elected at our Annual General Meeting. Our dances are made possible with the help of many
volunteers, who assist us with set-up and take-down.
Thanks to your support, we donated $500 to the Kanata Food Cupboard in February 2023. Since 1999, we have donated over $40,000 to various local charities such as:
-
Kanata Food Cupboard
-
Boys & Girls Club
-
Kanata Senior Centre
-
Ottawa Western Resource Centre
-
Ancoura
-
Carlington Community Chaplaincy, and many more.
-
SOS - Street Outreach Society
