I grew up dancing as a kid but after high school, there really wasn't anything further I could do at my home studio, so I stopped dancing altogether. A few years passed and I missed dancing so much and decided to search and see if any studios in the city offered adult classes. That's when I stumbled upon Dance Code. From Ballet to Hip Hop to dancing in heels, and from beginner to intermediate to advanced levels, this studio really has so much to offer the adult dance community. All classes are drop-in and you can buy an unlimited monthly class pass, so you can try them all!! The owner, Sarah Torkoly, has created something really special at this studio. It is such a positive, fun, and encouraging atmosphere where everybody is made to feel welcome. I highly recommend this studio to all!!

I've contacted the website twice with no response and messaged Sarah Torkely herself but I haven't been able to recoup my money even though she told me I should be refunded. Very confusing and disorganized classes and website. Will not be recommending to anyone

I am feeling very weird to have to leave this bad review as over the past 3 years I have had a very…read moregood experience with Aradia and the company owner Chantelle (and all other staff). I really enjoyed my classes and the company overall has been great. Unfortunately however, my feelings are turning otherwise during a recent interaction. I have lots of class passes and account credit on my account, but due to a recent illness/disability I am no longer able to attend. I asked for a refund for my $375 account credit and they quickly agreed to do it, yet I never received the refund. Long story short, due to either employee error or negligence I am now out $375 and Aradia is not taking any accountability. More details: Because I had originally made this $375 account credit payment on an old credit card that I no longer have access to, when I requested the refund I specifically made it clear that the refund must go onto my new card and gave them that number. Unfortunately in the end it has been made very clear they either A) accidentally put the refund on the card I have no access to, or B) didn't do the refund at all Personally I think it is A. Because I have previously had very good experiences with the company and don't see them to be deceitful and do something such as B (not doing the refund at all). However after hours of communication with my credit card company over the following weeks, it has been confirmed and made very clear the return was NOT put onto my credit card. Now Aradia will not give me my $375 back as in their eyes they already did (but they put it onto a old work credit card that I have no access to), so because of their own error I am losing $375. Because I understand how POS systems work and how this accident could have happened (returns are often automated to the card the payment was originally purchased from but because I knew this is how most POS systems work I made it clear the return was to be put on a specific credit card from the beginning) I asked them if they would be willing at the very least to put that $375 account credit back on my account instead of issuing a whole new return. They completely ignored my request and said it wasn't their problem. My next step is going to small claims court as I have a email log with Aradia claiming/confirming with certainty the money was returned into the card I wanted it to be on. And I also have records from my bank confirming they did not issue the return. Which means like I said earlier they either put the return on a wrong credit card (that I have 0 access too) or didn't do the return at all. To some people $375 is not a lot of money, but to me it is and it makes a difference in my life (especially at a time like now with a disability) which is why I will continue to go through all this effort to get it back.

What a nice little studio this place is :) I like that it's…read moresuper close to the Yellowhead for quick access in and out Upon entering, you have the choice to hang out in the lobby area or in the change room until your class is ready. I like that they have their class etiquettes posted in the lobby for your viewing pleasure and learning prior to class (in case you missed it online). There are two rooms - the main pole studio room (with a handful of poles) and a smaller second room with workout equipment like weights, mats and some other stuff. I wasn't there for pole class unfortunately and didn't get to try the poles this time around, but will have to go back to test them out at some point This review is geared towards the Acro yoga practice class I took, which was great! The room is a little narrow so it's perfect for smaller group classes, and I appreciate he availability to practice Acro yoga here once a week The 'instructor' Adam worked with our small group of ladies at different experience levels and got us all to practice some basic Acro moves/postures (and a harder one for fun). Definitely works your core strength and muscle stability while practicing in a safe environment If anyone hasn't tried it before, I highly suggest coming to this one Friday nights! Great place to practice, start learning, or come try it out once

J'Adore Dance and Wellness is the home of Salsa Babies!…read more I heard about Salsa Babies when my daughter was but a wee lassie so I registered for a session. Hot tamales Batman - so much fun! The long and the short of it is a salsa/latin dance class for moms in which your baby is snuggled to you in their baby carrier. Yuppers, your baby is your dance partner! Usually classes are once a week for 10 weeks and each class is about 1 hours. It's a great way to help you lose your baby weight, make mommy friends, socialize your child and have a great time. The classes are a bit pricey, about $125. I believe you can claim this as a child fitness credit - added incentive. J'Adore Dance and Wellness also has a number of toddler and preschool dance classes and programs that help your child develop movement skills and a love for dance. I know we'll be going to more!

No matter my skill level for the class I am taking, the teachers and other students always have a smile on their faces. The classes are varied and fun, and super accommodating to whatever you physically limitations or skill set may be. There is always a way to get a work out and break a sweat. I never feel intimidated. I don't have any children, but seeing the little ones exit their classes as I wait for mine to begin makes me excited about bringing my future family to this excellent studio!

The studio has two rooms so two classes go on at once but you can't hear each other's music. Our Salsa teacher was amazing! He's so funny and kept our class flowing so well. They have bi-weekly Latin dance parties that you can go practice at with DJs. They also have Friday night practice nights that are free for students where they play all sorts of music. The group started with about twenty people and ended with about 14. It depends on what time of year. Summer is probably very quiet. $75/5week class is a very good price! Totally worth it.

But lucky for me the instructors at Aradia are awesome at encouraging and coaxing that inner sensual diva out. Even for the most clumsy and awkward of us. The class started out with some stretches. I have to say getting to hang off a pole really helps deepen stretches to a whole new level. Right after that we got to get right down to business and try out some various swing techniques around the pole. At first I could barely get out one full swing but it was amazing to see the improvements possible after several attempts. This studio was easy enough to find but is somewhat hidden just off Wye Road. There is ample free parking out front. The studio has 13 poles which is a perfect size for a class like this. I was a little late for the class so didn't have much time to explore the rest of the studio. Thanks again Yelp for another amazing fit club event. Oh and thanks to Aradia for the amazing snack provided as well. How amazing would a class l8ke this be for a birthday party or stagette with your besties and gal pals.

REVIEW UPDATE So we…read moreare now in our 2nd year at Dance Co. and could not be any happier! My daughter did 2 full year long classes last year, attended the summer camp including a pizza party and sleepover, and now both my daughter and son are enrolled again in year long classes. Our experiences at Dance Co have been phenomenal! The quality of instruction and teachers has been top notch, the facility is wonderful, and the staff always friendly and helpful. The only thing I didn't like so much last year was the end of year format for recital time ended up requiring that we purchase tickets to two separate show times and it's through ticket master so you end up paying surcharges on the tickets so they ended up being about $15 each which for a family with grandparents, siblings, and 2 shows to attend ends up being more than a $150. I'm not sure how they could rectify this other than maybe only selling tickets through them and then not having the ticket master surcharge which adds up being close to $40 when you are buying 8 tickets (4 tix for 2 show times). One thing Dance Co. does to help support families with multiple dancers or a dancer that takes a lot of classes, is you pay by the number of hours taught per week. So each subsequent class costs slightly less per hour than the previous class in any given year. And this is the case that swayed me into signing my 3 year old son up for preschool dance this year because his sister is already taking 2 full one hour weekly classes, so why not add on a half hour preschool class on the same night as his big sis? Dance Co. also has a little consignment section which is great for picking up a second hand pair of taps or ballet shoes for your chitlin. They also offer a preschool program that always fills up and looks just marvellous (as I peek through the window). I foresee a long relationship with Dance Co. Two thumbs WAY UP! Oh and don't forget to attend their summer customer appreciation day with a free BBQ, bouncy castle, face painting, trial classes, and draws!

You can really see the instructors enjoy what they were doing. My little can be a bit shy and it was so cool to see her open up and start moving and grooving with the others. A big part of my rating is also based on how well the pivoted during the changes in protocols ect. We always felt well informed and were given tons of options. They do offer a ton of competitive and recreational dancing as well which we are excited to try in the fall, but I definitely can recommend the summer camps. So fun for the kids!

Both my boyfriend and I…read morehad never signed up for formal dance lessons or dance workshops before, so we had no idea what to expect. The studio is on the second floor so we were a little lost at first, but found our way once we stepped inside the building. Our workshop was an hour long, but it flew by so fast. We had such an amazing time. Both Alex and Ana were so sweet, friendly, and very helpful. Alex was cracking jokes throughout the class, helping us feel comfortable too. I look forward to coming back in the future, for more beginner-friendly workshops or even dance lessons. Thank you for having us! :)

My husband surprised me with a private salsa / bachata lesson for my birthday! We went to E-Town…read moreSalsa's studios downtown and were greeted by Simba who was our dance instructor. The studio has a staircase to enter as it's on the second floor. I believe there was an elevator there as well for accessibility. The dance floor is bright and inviting. We hung up our coats and got started right away. I love that the private lesson was catered specifically for us and we could really work on dancing together at our own pace vs in a group may be different. This is also a very romantic date idea! I highly recommend Simba who was our instructor as he was very friendly and made us feel very comfortable at the dance lesson. I hope to do more dancing with E-Town Salsa again in the future!

I previously left a positive review earlier in my training; after completing over 2 years in the…read morecompetitive ballroom dance program, my perspective has evolved after the full experience, and here are as follows below: I trained at Elite Dance Studio as an adult in the Pro-Am competitive ballroom dance program for approximately 2.5 years. During that time, I invested significant time and financial resources into private lessons, competitive practices, and competitions (local and out-of-province). I practiced consistently, reviewed videos, took detailed notes, and actively asked for feedback on progression. The instructors are technically skilled, and the studio emphasizes discipline and competitive standards. For adult competitive students, here are important considerations: * There was no written or objective progression framework outlining typical timelines between levels * Advancement criteria were not formally documented and relied on instructor assessment * Progress discussions were primarily verbal rather than structured in measurable benchmarks * Costs can escalate beyond private lessons (competitive practices, mock events, visiting coaches, Pro-Am competitions, etc.) * Dance competition expenses can range approximately $1,000-$3,500+ per event, excluding travel and accommodations This model may work well for students who are comfortable with open-ended timelines and long-term financial commitment. For adults seeking clearly defined benchmarks, written evaluation criteria, and predictable budgeting, I recommend clarifying expectations in detail before committing to an intensive competitive track. Ultimately, I chose to step away because the financial structure and progression model no longer aligned with my personal goals. This review is shared to provide transparency for future competitive students so they can make informed decisions.
