No complaints with the quality of the instruction, but what management did to me was one of the…read moreworst things a business can do. This was supposed to have been my child's third year attending summer camps at this studio. Their policy, as stated on the confirmation email I received on March 4, stated "Please note that no refunds are offered once the class has begun." Then COVID-19 hit. While other theatres and dance studios around the city moved their camps and classes online, or cancelled the altogether after consulting with the parents of the children enrolled, Joy of Dance chose to move forward with in-studio summer camps. I was notified of this 2 days before my child's camp was scheduled to start, in an email that also stated that no refunds would be issued after July 1, despite the email itself only being sent on July 9. The configuration of the class had also been changed from an aged 8-12 group to a 6-8 group. I was not comfortable sending my child to an indoor camp, with a younger cohort who was unlikely to be capable of physically distancing properly, while the city is still in a stage 2 pandemic lockdown. I communicated that I was not comfortable sending my child. While I was within my rights to ask for a refund according to their policy (the first policy, not the second one they made up after I had already enrolled and paid), in the spirit of supporting a small business through a difficult time I asked if they could consider a partial credit towards a future class instead. The manager, Jennifer, replied stating that she would not issue a refund. When I responded reminding her of her studio's refund policy, and that I was not actually asking for a refund but rather a partial credit, she ignored me. Joy of Dance sprung a modified camp on us that I did not feel comfortable with or agree to, with no alternatives. EVERY other summer camp my children have been involved with offered either a refund or credit. Not this one. They pulled a bait and switch, took my $400, and flat-out ignored my request for even a partial credit. Well, enjoy it Joy of Dance because it's the last money you will ever see from my family. Even though we live virtually across the street from your studio, I will now be taking my theatre and dance-loving child farther afield. I hope my $400 was worth it to you.

I bought a cheap Groupon class for this place and have also attended their free outdoor salsa…read moreparties at Streetsville Square. While the class was very cheap, and the instructors friendly, I actually found the classes quite confusing and intimidating. They were trying to teach 40-50 people at the same time and had multiple instructors and assistants at the same time. While I understand the need for assistants in such a large class, it becomes quite confusing when you are trying to listen to the main instructor and you have someone else telling you something in the other ear. Also, with respect to the venue, it is a fairly large place, but it also serves as a martial art studio and didn't have the same feel as other dance studios. Also, with respect to their outdoor parties at Streetsville Square, those were fun and they were all very accommodating. Verdict: I think this place is ok, but just wasn't a fan of the large classes and the venue, but if you are one that likes "exercise-style group classes", this could be for you. If you prefer smaller classes, I wouldn't recommend.

This dance studio is super awesome!! It's in the heart of Streetsville. A bit difficult to find…read morebecause it's under the street level shops and once inside you will notice it's quite small too. However, don't let the size fool you. This place is just right for all the dancers. I started taking an intro level salsa dance class. There are several experienced dance instructors present during the class to help you with the steps and to help follow along. The class moves at a fast pace but it's a lot of fun. You just have to relax but pay attention to the instructors so you pick up all the dance moves and don't miss a beat. I love to dance Salsa, and if you do too or you're willing to give it a try, this is the place!! Come have some fun!

However, while the people were friendly, I found this studio to be a bit disorganized. a) The owner didn't know how much to charge me because I signed up through Meetup. She had to ask me how much the website said. b) The classes they were posted were not the ones offered. They alternated, so I was attending a class that I didn't really want to be in. However, the instructor was willing to change it. c) They said they had a big event the previous night, and we're still cleaning at 4 pm. Not very professional. There are better studios out there.

While I had a generally positive experience, it didn't necessarily make me feel comfortable. Compared to other studios I've been to now, I found the staff here not as welcoming whereas other studios we learn your name. I think this studio focuses more on ballroom than Latin dancing and if you are preparing for a wedding, then it'd be great, but if you want to learn Latin dancing, there are definitely many other studios in the area that will make you feel a lot more comfortable.

3 stars for the venue, 5 stars for everything I've attended there!…read more Dovercourt House is a dance studio with rentable spaces on three floors. I've only been to classes in the first floor (zumba, Wednesday nights and Sunday morning), but I attend quite regularly so I'm in and out of there pretty regularly. While it's definitely a great location (hello monopoly!) and I am so grateful for it's existence, it could definitely use an upgrade. The floors are in great shape which is of course the most important feature of a dance studio, but it is lacking in quite a few other areas, mainly the air conditioning (um, there is none) and the washrooms (why are you so tiny and dingy?). Even with it's downfalls, Dovercourt House is still a great part of the neighbourhood.

Reasonable rental costs if you're throwing an event. Has simple kitchen facilities on each floor. The manager Andy is a great guy and very helpful. It can feel a bit run down on occasion, but that's just part of its charm. Pop by any Friday or Saturday night and there will be a ton of happy people enjoying multiple kinds of dancing.

The studio is a bit hard to find because it's kind of in an alley, but it's perfectly safe. The studio itself has a nice floor but the only qualm I have is that there isn't any air conditioning (or at least it felt that way). In terms of the zouk class, it was about 2 hours long. There was a bit of stretch and warm up and they went over the basic steps and gave us 15-20 minute to practice as well. The instructors were very friendly and I was able to somewhat dance it (albeit poorly but I know the steps - just gotta work on the timing and musicality) after the workshop. The staff were very friendly as well and I plan to come here again.
