The TADAMS community is comprised of a diverse group of dancers from all walks of life. We welcome newcomers and our dances are always family friendly and alcohol-free!
TADAMS Saturday evening dances take place at the West End Ballroom in Richmond’s West End on the 4th Saturday of every month. Select Sunday afternoon contra dances and the Springforth Ball take place at the lovely 1906 Lewis Ginter Recreation Association. Sunday afternoon dances typically occur on the 2nd Sundays during cooler months. Please check the dance calendar for times and locations as there may be some outlying dates.
Remember, if you aren’t dancing you are wasting your feet!
