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.

Or it might be I don't do well learning in groups but I didn't much enjoy this one. HOWEVER we came back for private lessons to learn a wedding dance and it was awesome. Teacher was wonderfully patient and explained things perfectly clear. Worked very closely with us and made a dance we are were very happy with. Dance is not my thing but if I had to recommend a place, this would be it!

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 was lucky that one of the Sugar Swing dancers (I think his name was Reed) offered to partner with me and a lot of fun ensued! It sure brought back junior high phys ed and Swing Dance lessons I had taken for a few months back in high school (oh my... we're talking 15 years ago!). They had 5 members at our event and they all brought their own personality and spunk to their performances. They were definitely the perfect pairing to our Prohibition themed party and really brought the life to the party! It was a real treat, both to watch and join in on the fun!

A place where you'll find all sorts of creative performance art and this place also teaches variety of dances. There is always something happening here. One of my favorite monthly events to attend is the Dirt Buffet Cabaret that happens one Thursday every month. You get 6 performances by local talent that are considered different and bizzare. A chance to see something completely different. Everything from experimental music, poetry reading, performance art, gorlesque, dance. There is so much for the senses. I really hope this place thrives and sticks around cause Edmonton needs this place.

It is a show that supports any artist that needs a stage and an audience to present a work, or a work in progress. You will see some really great performances, some really strange performances and some really bad performances. The really great performances make up most of the show. $10 donation for the evening, or "pay what you can". It is a great night out. The community of artists here are wonderful people! The studio is available for rent. If you are a dancer, or want to learn to dance there are many classes to choose from. There are also a lot of other performances to choose from as well.

It's been a while since my last visit to Marr Mac, but I have vivid memories of my experience at…read morethis dance studio. I have been studying dance since I was 5 years old (thanks, mom!), so the first thing I did when I moved to Edmonton was find a dance studio. One of my girlfriends recommended Marr Mac. I love this studio's location: it is at the back of the building occupied by Movie Studio and is very discreet. The studio itself is in the basement and consists of several large dance rooms. There are hardwood floors and wall-to-wall mirrors in every room.I signed up for musical theater, hip-hop and jazz. Additionally, there are ballet and tap classes. What can I say about the intructors? These people bring out the best in their students and make everyone believe in themselves. They are quick to provide encouraging words and to commend, and they never reprimand or discourage. There were several older women in my hip-hop class who confessed that their feelings of inadequacy upon starting the class disappeared as the classes progressed, thanks to the instructor's professionalism and encouraging words. I didn't get a chance to experience it first hand but as far as I know, Marr Mac's students get to perform onstage at various venues and to take dance trips abroad. Our musical theater teacher mentioned that once we master our routine, we will get to perform onstage. I wish I stayed at Marr Mac long enough to see this happen. Unfortunate circumstances made me stop attending this wonderful studio. I am thinking about resuming the classes very shortly.

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.

Reviewing this place is difficult because it does a lot of things right, and a lot of those things…read morearen't necessarily obvious to someone who is just starting, but the TLDR is that imho, Rythms is probably the best, and fastest resource to learn Salsa and Bachata in Edmonton. 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.
