West Van Seniors Swing Dance

West Van Seniors Swing Dance

THERE's just something about the annual West Vancouver Seniors' Swing Dance event that makes you feel good all over. Maybe it's the live music and jazz ballads played by "The Milleraires". Maybe it's the beautiful dresses worn by all those elegant ladies. Maybe it's the romantic mood in the air as couples twirl each other across the floor. Or maybe it's just the atmosphere of fun that always seems to exist at the Seniors Centre. Anyways, last weekend that was the way it was. It's an event that always gives me a big warm fuzzy feeling all over and one you'll want to keep your eyes open for next year.

	Volunteers Nancy Hesketh (left) and Ludy Lee were busy selling drink tickets at the door.
	I'm guessing that even Frank Sinatra could be bewitched by pretty Pat Stansfield's sly, come hither stare.
	He was waltzing with his darling. Norm Gilbert and Marion Blunderfield said the waltz was their thing.
	No, you're not seeing double. Jim Galloway (left) and his twin brother Tom (right) were lucky enough to have Bunny Sharpe (centre left) and Marjorie Galloway along as their companions.
	Since 1988, tap dance teacher Anne Eady (centre front) has been dancing up a storm with her ladies, namely (from back left) Roberta Laird, Diane Sutherland, Judi Zurbrugg and Gladys Lee.
	The staff at the seniors centre is really the tops. From left: Greta Mitchell, Bev Adams and Shelley Brown.
	Seniors' Centre supervisor Jill Johnson caught up with fundraising chairman Vi Roden.
	A rousing rhumba always gets Dick and Rusty Primeau up on the floor. You should see these two dance. Wow.
	After two years and eight months, love birds John and Betty Lucas are still acting like honeymooners.
	Lily MacLean (left) and Maureen Bentley have been friends for over six years now.
	It was like seeing two glamorous movie stars. Colin Campbell and J Deary just love to jive.
	Let's not forget the boys in the band. Bass player Ken Bernard (from left) joined trombone players Anthony Dodd and Wally Dyer during a break.
