Mostly Waltz!   mostlywaltz.ca

Mostly Waltz is a new series of Dances in Toronto featuring excellent live bands and great DJ'd music for waltzes and other partner dances!  The first Mostly Waltz on May 3 was fun and had a very good vibe - here is a 90 second video from that Dance taken by Tony Hornick: http://youtube.com/watch?v=axGm_kKD_68

Music at Mostly Waltz: Excellent live and DJ'd music for waltzes from slower to fast, plus some polkas, blues and schottische.
