NEW Mission Statement

The Collective will encourage the growth of a welcoming, inclusive WCS community in Victoria, where dance roles are not based on gender. The Collective will host regularly scheduled dances paired with either lessons from a variety of instructors or practice opportunities. Music for the dances is provided by a variety of DJs playing songs that are easy to dance to and from a wide range of genres. The Collective will support community members with dance events and workshops.

Check out our history.

Our dancers are very welcoming to all levels of dance. We encourage a casual atmosphere and after each song we usually rotate partners but certainly some couples enjoy just dancing with their same partner.

New to our dances?

• Dress is casual

• Bring your water bottle (no spirits please)

• If you need help ask many of the friendly volunteers especially if you need help learning basic WCS dance skills

• Bring cash as we are currently not accepting card payments or Canadian Tire money

• Please consider taking lessons so your dance partner can have the best experience you can offer

• The Collective strongly recommend that dancer's attending Collective events

  • refrain from coming if you feel sick in any way 

  • properly wash your hands before, during and after dancing

  The Collective deeply values our dance community and everyone's health and trusts we will all do our utmost to keep one another healthy.  

  Expressing One’s Opinions or Suggestions

  The Victoria WCS Committee works very hard to provide a place for WCS enthusiasts to dance.   The committee members look forward to these events and take the time to enjoy dancing as well. 

  There have been occasions in the past where committee members have been approached by members of the dance community who wished to convey their personal opinions, sometimes with enthusiasm. 

  The proper process is to email the Collective with your thoughts, whether they be positive or negative. 

  If a member of the dance community exhibits aggressive or inappropriate behavior at any of the Collective’s events, they will simply be asked to leave the event with the understanding that they will be invited back for any future events.
