This is an event inside the event and it all happens on Sunday night after the dancing wraps up and the event closes down. We tear up the floors and take everyone curling! Yup, that's right ... Curling!
Wikipedia describes Curling as:
"A team sport with similarities to bowling and shuffleboard, played by two teams of four players each on a rectangular sheet of carefully prepared ice. Teams take turns sliding heavy, polished granite stones down the ice towards the target (called the house). Two sweepers with brooms accompany each rock and use timing, equipment and their best judgment, along with direction from their teammates, to help direct the stones to their resting place."
We call it ... One heck of a lot of fun!
Sponsored by Dr. Neville Headley - Dentistry at Market Mall, the Calgary Curling Club is host to the Calgary Dance Stampede and all its participants as we grab a broom, strap a non-stick teflon slider to your foot and step down onto the ice! Dr. Headley graciously donates his time and funds in support of the Calgary Dance Stampede all in an effort to showcase his second passion, the sport of curling and to foster an attitude of fun and good sportsmanship.

"MAN I LOVE CURLING !!! I Know, most people can't stand it, but I enjoy it. I profess to be the 4 time Cuban National Curling Champion, and continue to be until someone says differently! I have been in Calgary many times for the Calgary Dance Stampede and Keith Armbruster puts together a top notch event within one of the more welcoming dance communities I've encountered over the years. Thank you to everyone at the event for making me feel so welcome." |

"My life was incomplete until I tried curling!! Who knew that "throwing a rock" down pebbled ice and "sweeping" - all while wearing Teflon shoes - could be so fun! When I retire from dancing, the senior curling leagues are my next goal." |
