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.

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! Thank you Sugar Swing Dance Club for coming out to Yelp!

We were then told the class would be done outside. I did not have footwear to dance outside, was worried about dancing in the grass barefoot and didn't have sunscreen on. I watched for a couple of minutes and then left. The regular studio is an unattractive red and I like red. It was also too small for the people who got a spot, which is why it was moved outside. It is too bad as I have wanted to learn bollywood dancing for a couple of years.
