Lessons

We currently teach Private and Semi-Private lessons.

Private group lessons (organized by the students) can be coordinated as well.

Our students create their own learning plan and can choose any dance/dances from the list below:

  • Ballroom – Latin: Cha Cha Cha, Rumba, Samba, Jive, Paso-Doble
  • Ballroom – Standard: Tango, English Waltz, Viennese Waltz, Foxtrot, Quickstep
  • Latin Club dances: Salsa, Merengue, Bachata
  • Argentinean Tango and Milonga
  • Other party dances: Hustle and the  Slow Rock (2-step)

Our way of teaching is very effective, giving our students the right amount of information in order to hit the dance floor as fast as possible. We also do it with a light approach, with a lot of humor and fun. Since we teach many dances, we teach each “family” of dances in an up-to-date approach, which is a perfect fit for the Canadian dance scenes. Following is a short description of the way we teach these dance Families.

We teach Standard and Latin Dances following the International-Social style. It means that the basic steps, variation, and technique are done using an International syllabus, but with adaptation to social dancing (i.e. dancing at dance parties/practices, events). We include a moderate amount of information regarding Technique, Musicality, Lead and Follow Sensuality and other elements.

Our Salsa syllabus contains a mix of modern and old-school variations combined with transferable variations and techniques between Latin-Ballroom and Salsa. We also teach Merengue and Bachata with a lot of variations (moves).

The Argentinean Tango is taught utilizing cross-information from Ballroom dancing. For example, an “Ocho” is explained using the knowledge of a “Swivel” from other dances. The advantage of this system is the speed and ease of learning.

Important note:

All our dance teachers have passed the dance international-style teaching exams and are registered with a teacher’s certifying body.
