Evergreen Cultural Centre — Attraction in Coquitlam

(Tevye) "A fiddler on the roof. Sounds crazy, no? But in our little village of Anatevka, you might say every one of us is a fiddler on the roof, trying to scratch out a pleasant, Simple tune without breaking his neck. It isn't easy. You may ask, why do we stay up there if it's so dangerous? We stay because Anatevka is our home... And how do we keep our balance? That I can tell you in one word... Tradition."

(Chorus) Tradition, tradition... tradition

(Tevye) "Because of our traditions, We've kept our balance for many, many years. Here in Anatevka we have traditions for everything... how to eat, how to sleep, even, how to wear clothes. For instance, we always keep our heads covered and always wear a little prayer shawl... This shows our constant devotion to God. You may ask, how did this tradition start? I'll tell you - I don't know. But it's a tradition... Because of our traditions, Everyone knows who he is and what God expects him to do."

(Tevye & Papas) Who day and night Must scramble for a living Feed the wife and children Say his daily prayers And who has the right As master of the house To have the final word at home?

(All) The papa, the papas... tradition

(Golde & Mamas) Who must know the way to make a proper home? A quiet home, a kosher home Who must raise a family and run the home So papa's free to read the holy book?

(All) The mama, the mama... tradition

(Sons) At three I started Hebrew school At ten I learned a trade I hear they picked a bride for me I hope... she's pretty

(All) The sons, the sons... tradition

(Daughters) And who does mama teach To mend and tend and fix Preparing me to marry Whoever papa picks?

(All) The daughters, the daughters... tradition

(Tevye) "And in the circle of our little village, We have always had our special types. For instance, Yente, the matchmaker..." "And Nahum, the beggar..." And most important, our beloved Rabbi..." "And among ourselves, we get along perfectly well. Of course, there was the time when he sold him a horse, but delivered a mule, but that's all settled now. Now we live in simple peace and harmony and..."

(All) Tradition, tradition... tradition Tradition, tradition... tradition

(Tevye) "Tradition. Without our traditions, Our lives would be as shaky as... as a fiddler...

I Have taken Salsa Classes in 2013 in Burnaby. I was Just confused and the dances were complicated. so I just gave up. in 2022 I found Hot Salsa Dance Zone and its close to where I live In Poco. Alberto and Thersea are amazing. Once you have taken the beginner course and learned the basic moves in 6 classes for as low as 85 bucks. the Intermediate courses become fun - in each course of 6 classes you're learning 5 different easy to learn dance combinations. you could apply on the dance floor on their only 10 dollar dance socials every Saturday in The tri city and 2nd and 4th Friday of the month in white rock. they are now doing a once a month dance social in a Huge Port Moody Brewery for 15 bucks . all their dance socials have an hour class of either Merengue , Bachata or Salsa. All their classes are in the evening from 7-10 for an hour . so I can go after work . they are by evergreen in Coquitlam or on 152 in surrey . a great place to make new friends. Class is a party more than being strict on learning. you have fun and Alberto and Thersea are fun and have a great...

Attended the New Years Eve Latin Party at the Evergreen Culture Center in Coquitlam. Got there at 8.30pm left at 2am, that says it all had a great time, music wonderful great to watch the dancers and instructors show there stuff and having fun. We have attended other dance events and we felt very comfortable with the friendly people who attended. Another nice touch experienced couples would ask others to dance especially if they came by themselves, creating fun for everyone. We also found out that they have bi-weekly Saturday night dances at Evergreen where they start off by giving instruction then you can practice what you have learned. So today my husband and I signed up for the intro to Salsa dancing on Tues evening in Surrey. Way more fun for me than aerobics. Thanks...
