But, of course, this school is beyond just a hot dance instructor. (Actually, most of them are pretty hot.) It's also about how well they treat their students, which is to say extremely well. They're friendly, helpful and patient. They all have these built-in permanent smiles that really help you from being a nervous wreck, especially for newbies of the dancefloor. Me and my mom are pretty new here, but they've been so nice and so accomodating that we're taking lessons now. (Yeah, I said it. My mom. Me and my mom dance here together. So what?) You'd be surprised at the music played during practice sessions. Sure, they will have that big band sound from the 40s when you're dancing, but what they teach you is that you can even dance to Rihanna, Britney or The Eagles to their dance steps. Neat-O, really.

Grupo Ondas is a great studio to learn capoeira, I tried out the studio thanks to a google offer's…read moredeal that allowed me to take 20 classes with no expiration date on them. Monitor Selo is very knowledgeable about the art of capoeira and how to adjust them movements to fit your body. This group is very close yet very welcoming to new students and the higher belts are there to help you learn each step if selo is busy teaching other students. One thing to mention about the classes is that Monday's can get packed while all the other classes seem fairly open for those looking to have less students with them.

Our main and ultimate goals are…read moreto help bridge the gap between the Brazilian culture and other cultures through Capoeira. We use the art of Capoeira to teach the 10 Universal Values (see our 10 principles below), for they are positive values we believe we all share in order to grow as better people. This is reflected in our game as well as our whole being. Another goal of our group is to gain the reputation of positive, respectful, humble, open, non-discriminating capoeiristas who are committed to the development, education, and integration of all cultures.

So you think you can dance?!!?!???…read more Yes! I was ready to show that I knew how to shake it, push it real good, get my groove on and back that bootilicious thang up. Did my London London Bridge wanna go down? Ooohhhh, ye-ah... Justin, my dear, you aren't the only one bringing sexy back. The music started. My instructor, Patrice, flowed as though her body controlled the beat. She effortlessly and skillfully moved and bopped, hipped and hopped. And me? Well, I learned that knowing how to do the running man didn't make me an instant dancer. (But, man, my running man is REALLY good!) Synergy Hip Hop teaches classes at various Bally's in the area. Non-Bally members can go by paying a small fee (members have to pay a little extra too). I've been to many hip hop classes at different gyms, and I have to say that these are some of the best! Some in the past were TOO simple, but most were too complicated. I used to go to a 24-hour Fitness class where this Asian dude with blue hair used to do these CRAZY moves, like Michael Jackson on crack, and I was instantly lost within the first 10 minutes. It made me want to give up. Here? Instructors always go through all the moves several times, breaking it down in the beginning before speeding it up. They're simple enough that most semi-coordinated people with two legs will be able to get it, but you'll still feel like you're getting a workout because of the fast repetition. There's a really cute, middle-aged Caucasian couple who used to have a hard time when they first started, but now they're jamming with the best of them. I'm partial to Patrice's classes, but other instructors are good too. If Synergy is performing in your area, they're worth seeing too. They were around before this recent dance craze started, and they'll last long after it passes. Whether you think you can dance or not, Synergy makes it easy to learn, and - more importantly - fun!

When we moved to the area last summer, our daughter was entering Grade 11, and we were hoping to…read morefind a dance studio where she would feel comfortable, supported, and inspired. This studio has been exactly that. From the very beginning, the environment was warm and welcoming. The owner has created a space that feels personal and genuine, where each dancer is truly seen and valued. It's not about fitting into a mold. It's about growing into the dancer you already are, with confidence and joy. The small, close-knit setting makes such a difference. The two teachers are thoughtful, attentive, and responsive to each dancer's needs. When we pick her up after class, she is always genuinely happy, which says everything. We're so grateful to have found this studio. It's a special place that nurtures both skill and joy.

This dance school has been an incredible part of their journey, helping them grow in confidence while deepening their love for Bollywood music and dance. Priti, the heart and soul of Sanwee Arts, is not just a fantastic dance teacher but also a mentor who instills Indian cultural values through her classes. She creates a warm and encouraging environment where kids don't just learn dance--they learn to express themselves, embrace their heritage, and develop discipline and teamwork. Through her dedication, Priti ensures that every performance reflects the beauty of Indian culture, making the kids feel proud of their roots. I highly recommend Sanwee Arts to anyone looking for an enriching Bollywood and Indian dance experience for their children!

The check-in person was super welcoming and told me about some of the other dance formats offered there. This dance studio caters to both children and adults. So you will see kids running around, which is ok, but I am not really used to. The class started on time. The instructor had great energy and encouraged us to have fun and do things our own style. I haven't been dancing in a while, so I knew it would be a good challenge for me. I really had a lot of fun. My only surprise is that the classes are only 60 mins. I think they ought to be 70 minutes to include a proper 5 min warm-up and 5-minute cool-down. There wasn't a lot of warming up in the beginning of this particular class. I've taken adult dance classes for years and I am used to something that include some warm-up movements to get the rotating joints going, like neck rolls, shoulder rolls, and hip and lower back movements. The class did include a relaxing cool down with stretching for the lower body and upper body. I plan to take more Hip-Hop style classes. They offer Cardio Hip-Hop, Beginner Hip-Hip and more advanced levels, Sensual Dance, Twerk, Ballet, Shuffle, Street Jazz and a lot more. I plan to try about 5 more formats and sign-up for one class for the summer session. I highly recommend this place!
