Free Dancing at Robson Square 2012

On a warm summer night out downtown, amidst blaming sirens, buskers’ beats, and the chatter of crowds on Robson, you will hear music in the distance. It will emanate from the domes that cover Robson Square and curious, you will follow your ears to the source. Aromas of hot dog carts and tantalizing food trucks will distract your nose but you’ll continue on. You’ll stop at the top of the Vancouver Art Gallery steps only to remember that it’s that time of year again — free ballroom dancing on the rink at Robson Square!
