Vanier
Competitors "Swing Out" in Successful Jake's Mall throbbed to the beat of Rumba, Cha-Cha, Merengue and Salsa music as the Vanier community witnessed a truly amazing and entertaining spectacle. Inspired by the TV show of the same name, Vanier dancers who had virtually no experience whatsoever in such traditional styles gave it their all and competed for the prize of best male and female ballroom dancer. Thanks to Pat Dichmann for handling the teaching duties. Congratulations to the winners (left) and to Peggy McCoy of Student Services who organized this great event.
