ALERT- WE HAVE MOVED TO CHAMPION BALLROOM!
The Firehouse has moved to Champion Ballroom in Kearny Mesa and is now on Thursday nights. We will have a modified class schedule at the new location- please check the schedule (Facebook, instagram, or website) for all updates.
We are so happy to have called Bankers Hill home since 2018 however due to renovations occurring at St. Paul’s, we will no longer be able to host our dance at this location. We are hopeful this new location will make it easier for people throughout all of San Diego county to come out and dance! We are also excited about hosting the dance on Thursday nights since it’s closer to the weekend and might allow some of you the chance to come out and/or stay later. Champion Ballroom is a beautiful venue with plenty of parking (we’ve seen some of you frantically looking for spots before class) and the potential for us to grow! And yes, the dance floor is nice! We’d like to thank St. Paul’s for allowing us to resume our dance after the venue underwent ownership change during the pandemic. We weren’t sure what the future of the Firehouse was going to look like at that time and we are grateful to have had the opportunity and space to rebuild. You can help us during this transition by spreading the word about our venue/day change! And if you’ve enjoyed coming to the Firehouse, please follow us over to our new location! We hope to see you all on Thursday nights at Champion! |
