The first dance club in Vancouver was named for Lady Aberdeen, the wife of the Governor General of Canada. When the club started holding a tea dance on Remembrance Day on November 11, they named it for her. The club no longer exists, but the Lady Aberdeen Tea dance is still a highlight of the dance calendar for the Vancouver Branch.

Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (8). A yellow background means a recording with one of the recommended tunes but a non-standard number of repetitions. Recordings with a red background use a different tune and possibly a non-standard number of repetitions.

Recordings whose titles are in italics are not explicitly linked to this dance but have been identified by the database based on the type, bar count, and recommended tune(s) of the dance.
