Dance Happens Here Haliburton (DH3) is partnering with Pride in the Highlands and the River Cone to host, “Out in the Street Line Dancing”. On Saturday, August 23, 2025 from 2:00 – 4:00pm, everyone is welcome to join the fun. Dances will be led by local line dance instructor, Jacqui Bell. Jacqui says, “My approach is to teach some simple steps so that everyone feels comfortable joining in. There will be something for everyone.” Inclusion is the name of the game for this event. All ages are welcome. It is free and donations are welcome.

As a part of the afternoon, dancers from some of Jacqui’s classes will show us their moves. The River Cone will have their usual great food and drink available, plus a few special Pride in the Highlands features. Get ready for some fancy sprinkles on your ice cream cone! Monica & Ben Scott of the River Cone said, “We’re so excited to have this happening at the River Cone! We are all about families and love doing things for the community.”

Allan Guinan, co-chair of Pride in the Highlands says, “We’re thrilled to be partnering with DH3 to host this community dance during our Pride Week festival. We hope everyone will join us as we dance on the street to all kinds of music including queer artists and choreographers from Orville Peck, Elton John and others. Don your favorite street dancing shoes and come enjoy the fun!”
