The Grand Ballroom
http://www.grandballroom.com/
12200 Riverside Way, Richmond, British Columbia

$29 for 10 Beginner’s Group Ballroom Classes (Up to $98 Value)

Beginning dancers learn the salsa, cha-cha, waltz, tango, foxtrot, and jive with two 80-minute classes devoted to each style. Classes cycle constantly, and students have an entire year from their first class to take their next nine lessons. Check out the schedule here.

Though The Grand Ballroom sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.

Husband and wife team Andy and Wendy Wong first met at the UBC dance club in 1976, joining forces to commence an unprecedented 13-year reign as the top amateur dancers in British Columbia. Finding a dearth of fun, supportive places where people could learn to dance and accomplished dancers could casually hone their craft without crashing local bar mitzvahs, they opened The Grand Ballroom in 1994. Since then, the couple and their cadre of dedicated instructors have initiated more than 16,000 students into the rug-cutting arts. The beautiful 5,000-square-foot dance floor sits ringed by soft blue walls and plush red chairs, allowing dancers to lean back and rest feet.

As translucent salt pebbles crunch underfoot, music fills the atmosphere of SaltWonder’s dimly lit manmade sanctum and sets the tone for a meditative, healing experience. Guests lie back in grey recliners, do yoga, or hum the Battlestar Galactica theme song while the caves’ halogenerators crush salt rocks, ionize the particles, and send them careening into the air, where they find refuge in lungs’ deep-seated alveoli. More than 80 minerals present in the briny mist help tone complexions, resolve breathing difficulties, and reduce inflammation, exhibiting the healing properties of halotherapy, which has been practiced for centuries. The fairy-tale-like chambers’ massive floor-to-ceiling columns—made up of more than 30,000 pounds of imported Himalayan pink and red salt—emit pink light that matches the glow of the craggy stone walls’ inlaid amber panels.

Voted the West Side’s best U-Brew in the Vancouver Courier’s Stars of Vancouver 2012, Broadway Brewing’s and its brigade of skillful staffers has spent 20 years escorting apprentice wine and beer crafters through the concoction process. During each 2.5-hour beginner course, students traverse the entire terrain of brewing and winemaking, from selecting and sterilizing to their equipment to fermenting and accompanying their first batches on play dates with other varietals. Before generating their own libations, novices absorb the history of wine or beer and briefly accrue background information on the fermentation process. Boasting more than two decades of grape-stomping and hop-infusing expertise, Broadway Brewing’s teachers aid pupils in each step of beverage creation.

The 30 brightly clad singers of the Soweto Gospel Choir sway, swoon, and kick as their voices harmonize across genres such as African gospel, reggae, and American popular music during uplifting live performances. Although the choir formed only 10 years ago, they have gone on to win two consecutive Grammys for their albums Blessed and African Spirit, in addition to playing with John Legend at the Academy Awards and joining U2 at the FIFA World Cup in their native South Africa for an inspiring tandem of “Amazing Grace” and “Where the Streets Have No Name.” Despite having seen their reflection in Bono’s purple sunglasses, the multilingual collective is also adept at performing with minimal accompaniment, often taking the stage with nothing more than a drum as they weave a sonic tapestry sung in everything from Zulu and Sotho to French and English. With traditional songs such as “Khumbaya” and “Mbube” (known to American audiences as “The Lion Sleeps Tonight”) and pop hits including Peter Gabriel’s “Biko,” the Soweto Gospel Choir lends new interpretations to familiar strains and stirs souls with their resonant pipes and a wooden spoon coated in ectoplasm.

1045 Millar Creek Rd. Whistler, British Columbia

$13 for Brewery Tour for Two ($27.90 Value)

Twice daily Tuesday–Saturday, brewery tours offer guests a sneak peak at the facility’s equipment and brewing process before letting them taste four 6-ounce samples from the brewery’s menu of craft beers.

After helping to kick-start British Columbia’s craft-brewery movement back in 1989, Whistler Brewing Company upholds its pioneering approach by crafting new and unique brews that brim with the tastes of B.C. The creations possess flavours for every palate, ranging from the 100-per-cent-organic B.C. honey of the Bear Paw Honey Lager to the chocolate and roasted-coffee notes of the award-winning Black Tusk Ale. The beverages can be savoured at home by the keg or bottle, or from the bar in the brewery’s tap house, which pairs its seasonal ales and current drafts with a menu of hop-complementing fare. The brewsmiths also open their doors twice daily to offer a glimpse of the facility’s inner workings during brewery tours, which take patrons through the maze of copper brew kettles and bubbling witch cauldrons to illustrate the fermenting and flavouring process before giving guests their own suds to sample.
