Taught by Kat Single-Dain, Artistic Director of the Dusty Flowerpot Cabaret, who has created and directed 5 original Musical comedies starring CLOWNS over the past 20 years. She's been around the block, so to speak, and she's NEVER doing that again it was way too much exercise.

Ready to embark on a journey to find love, but in the slowest way possible? Mark your calendar for an unforgettable evening at the Dusty Flowerpot Cabaret. Welcome to "Slow Dance Speed Dating at Gloria's Happy Hour," brought to you by the almost famous but definitely infamous Gloria.
Gloria, our charming host, is not your average matchmaker. She's a former chorus girl turned relationship guru with a penchant for humor and a taste for delightful libations. Gloria's puts a twist on traditional speed dating, and dare we say it is WAY BETTER. Ask those that came to the December 1st edition.
You might make friends, or perhaps find something more special – it's all about savouring the moment and doing something uniquely fun. Worried about striking up conversations? Fear not! In this friendly and relaxed atmosphere, you'll discover connections you never expected while swaying to the music beneath the glimmering disco ball. Worried about your dance skills? No need! This isn't a race; it's a casual, unhurried shuffle to the rhythm of your heart. Let the music be your guide, and if all else fails, just blame it on the music and/or Gloria.
​At The Dusty Flowerpot Cabaret, we celebrate love and inclusivity. Whether you're single, coupled up, or just looking for a good time, we've saved a spot for you.
Want to book Gloria for your next event? Email us at dustyflowerpotcabaret@gmail.com for rates and more info!

DEDICATED TO CREATING AND SUPPORTING ORIGINAL WORK OF PHYSICAL THEATRE ON STAGES BOTH TRADITIONAL AND SITE SPECIFIC
Dusty Flowerpot Cabaret was formed in 2006 on a rainy winter's night in a Strathcona, Vancouver art studio, when a group of local artists met over red wine and blue cheese and decided to collaborate.
The Dusty Flowerpot Cabaret is dedicated to creating and supporting original work of physical theatre in stages both traditional and site specific. Since 2013, we operate from our studio The Dusty Flowerpot which is also available for rentals.
The DFC creates large scale musicals, small scale roving acts, and festivals. On a regular basis the DFC produces the well loved and community involved Parade of Lost Souls, a monthly "Third Thursday Cabaret" and a weekly "Clown Gym" work out for anyone who has clown or physical theatre equivalent training. All of these events are offered by donation. Please contact Kat Single-Dain, Artistic Director since 2013, to get involved with our season of activities, as there are many many opportunities!
