Tynehead Folk Dance Retreat
2024 Tynehead Folk Dance Retreat on Saturday, September 28, 10am to 10pm.
Location: Tynehead Community Hall, 9568 – 168 St, Surrey (across from Tynehead Regional Park).
Our day retreat was a fantastic success filled with dancing, singing, laughter, and learning more about Transylvania. Huge thanks to everyone who made this event so special, especially our amazing team—Cindy, Dale, Marie, Gerry, Hal, Steve, Janice—and our talented instructors, Dale, Sophie, Steve, and Lori. From the delicious dinner to the exciting prize plants, it was a day to remember. We’re so lucky to share these moments with such a wonderful group of dancers and friends!
