A Vintage Night to Remember ✨

📅 Saturday, October 4th, 2025
📍 Holiday Inn Burlington Conference Centre
🕒 6 to 11 PM


Step back in time and relive the magic of Burlington’s iconic Brant Inn — a legendary hotspot of the 1940s, 50s, and 60s where swing, jazz, and romance filled the air!

Join us for an unforgettable evening of dining, live music, vintage fashion, and dancing, as we celebrate a beloved chapter of Burlington’s cultural history. Hosted by Museums of Burlington, this exclusive fundraising gala supports local history and heritage programs that keep our community stories alive.

  • Fundraising for a Cause ❤️
    Proceeds support the Museums of Burlington’s programs, exhibitions, and educational initiatives.

  • Meet Gaya & Slava — a young Latin dance couple stepping onto the Brant Inn stage for the very first time. 🌟

    💃🕺 Dancing together for only one year, they are already the 2025 Canadian National Latin Junior Vice Champions 🏆.
    🌍 Slava, who came to Canada from Ukraine three years ago, found hope and belonging through dance.
    🔥 Their favourite? The Cha Cha — playful, powerful, and full of rhythm.

    This fall, Gaya & Slava are also preparing to represent Canada at the World Championships in the Netherlands — carrying their passion, energy, and artistry onto the international stage. 🌍✨

    They are guided by their lead coach, Tatiana Vainer as well as Pavel & Veronika, the reigning Canadian Amateur Latin Champions — who themselves were presented by Robert & Beverley of danceScape at the 2024 Evening at the Brant Inn.

    Now in 2025, Robert & Beverley — former Canadian & North American Ballroom Champions — are proud to present Gaya & Slava, continuing their tradition of showcasing emerging stars and carrying forward the Brant Inn’s legacy of celebrating dance excellence.

    👏 Join us for their Brant Inn debut, as we celebrate the glamour of the past and the promise of the future through dance.
