Information for Visitors to Ottawa
Ottawa is Canada’s Capital city! Replete with beautiful views, interesting architecture, some of Canada's top art galleries and museums, and many other tourist attractions, Ottawa is a great city to visit.
Many of the workshop classes and dances are planned to take place within walking distance (about 15min or less) of downtown Ottawa, which means that visitors will have easy access to hotels, restaurants, shopping and other attractions. Check this web site of course for the addresses of the workshops and dances - all details will be posted as soon as they are finalized.
It's Cold Outside...
It does get pretty cold in Ottawa in January, so be ready to bundle up! It could be above freezing, or as cold as -20°C (-4°F). But the good news is that the cold weather makes it even more fun to warm up with lots of shagging!
NOTE FOR VISITORS FROM THE U.S.
You will now need a passport to enter Canada from the US! Drivers' licenses, birth certificates, etc. are not sufficient.
