SFV Chapter Dances


Monthly Dances
Our monthly dance in Van Nuys, a great place to use all those lessons and show off your natural ability.

Anniversary Ball
The SFV Chapter was founded In June of 1961, so every year in June, we celebrate our Chapter's birthday!   We mark the founding of our Chapter with a gala party.

Coronation
At this dressy dinner dance in November we crown our new Queen. Afterwards, there is a fun party with lots of dancing. Expect to be entertained by an exciting dance performance.

Holiday Ball
Our December party is especially festive, and we dance and celebrate to make the last party of the year a blast.
