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.

As a social dancer, my favourite part about the teaching method is the focus on building blocks instead of very specific patterns. I love that the studio is committed to all three of the main dance styles one would encounter at a Latin dance event (i.e. Salsa, Bachata, Kizomba) and their monthly free vibes events are a great way for people to get a taste of the studio's curriculum and meet some new people in the mini-social held after the class. As of this year, the studio expanded into performance teams in all three dance styles, so there is something here for everyone.

Strengths: - The environ replicates battlefield conditions, so to speak, moves are introduced with variations that encourage both leads and follows to try different things and not simply repeat choreographies through rote memorization. - The classes are longer than any other studio I've tried, and there are 30 mins of music played after class for one to practice. - Excellent community, everyone is rather friendly, and there are usually quite a few people who will be up to practice after every class. - Focus is on being able to lead, and follow the moves studied, and not on merely replicating how they look. This is the biggest one for me, as understanding the principles behind the how and why of moves makes one able to do them with anyone, and not merely the other people in some particular class who remember some particular choreography. - Classes are much more frequent than in other studios, allowing for faster progress if one desires, there are 2 Salsa and 3 Bachata classes a week, as well as 4 free socials every month, which have rather decent attendance. -Very, very punctual and professional: In the time I've attended (about 3 months now), I have not experienced a single class being cancelled, or starting late, for any reason. I have been very pleasantly surprised by this. - 50 dollars for every class offered in a 30 day period is quite a steal. That's up to seven two hour classes a week. Weaknesses: - The area the studio is in is not the best, and the place can be hard to find, there is a sticker on the outside door, but that's it. It does show in Google Maps, though. - I swear the washrooms were in the Silent Hill games.

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!!

Sugar Swing is as sweet as it gets. It is fun. It is groovy. It is a blast…read more When you do join Sugar Swing Dance classes, you're not just another student in a class. You become part of a non-judgemental community - an almost exclusive swing dancing community that welcomes you with such friendliness that almost feels like home. Now, that's excellent hospitality in the making. Instructors are super friendly and professional at what they do. They offer classes to complete beginners and no partner is necessary which is a mega bonus. I have personally been taking lessons since May 2017 and have met a lot of friendly peeps. If you are afraid that you may look like a complete fool, don't worry - everyone is there to have a good time learning and bettering their swing skills. No one's got time to analyse how bad you're doing because we have all been there. Instructors are always ready to give you a tip or two which almost immediately makes one look like a pro at swing dancing. Apart from the classes they offer, they have social nights which are held on Fridays and Saturdays. These nights are open to everyone even if you have never swing danced before. They do beginners' lessons on social nights like these at 8PM followed by the official social dancing at 9PM. Again, you don't need a partner even for events like these. Just bring yourself and a big smile to the dance floor! Discounted rates are made available for both students and members of the Sugar Swing Dance Club. Another mega bonus!!! :D WIN!

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.

This ordeal wouldn't have been an issue, if the manager had a little bit more tact and politeness about how he confronted this situation, however it was a let down, and he made us feel like we were unwelcome there. The manager seemed very sarcastic, not very direct and/or clear when answering us in regards to if we could continue to workout together. Overall, this put a damper on our workout session, and we felt we were being constantly watched by this manager. Needless to say, I will probably not workout at this location again...
