From the very beginning of tango lessons at Rhythm & Motion Dance Studio we realized that for the…read morefirst time in our tango experience we were getting not only lessons with just different combinations of tango steps but we joined a well designed system of tango education. Especially it became clear for us when we went to Buenos Aires on the trip organized by Elizabeth to see and feel the origins of tango. Our trip to BA has changed our attitude and understanding of tango. Elizabeth was sincerely trying to show us the best of BA tango flavor. Her dedication to tango and her tremendous efforts to get us to every tango related activity and place really made a difference in our understanding of tango origins and culture. During our BA trip with Elizabeth, we saw her from a different side, not only as a skilled teacher and accomplished dancer but also as a caring person who was trying to make sure that we love everything about tango. We tried BA food, did shopping, and lived tango-house life, with lessons every day and milongas every night. We were astonished by the level of energy Elizabeth could maintain through the days in BA, the main source of which is her love and contagious passion for tango, so we got tango bug too and it looks like forever...

The misconception of Dovercourt House is that it's mostly Swing dance,but there is also a huge Kizomba Sunday social every week, salsa, tango, contemporary dances, theatre, rehearsals and more.

3 stars for the venue, 5 stars for everything I've attended there!…read more Dovercourt House is a dance studio with rentable spaces on three floors. I've only been to classes in the first floor (zumba, Wednesday nights and Sunday morning), but I attend quite regularly so I'm in and out of there pretty regularly. While it's definitely a great location (hello monopoly!) and I am so grateful for it's existence, it could definitely use an upgrade. The floors are in great shape which is of course the most important feature of a dance studio, but it is lacking in quite a few other areas, mainly the air conditioning (um, there is none) and the washrooms (why are you so tiny and dingy?). Even with it's downfalls, Dovercourt House is still a great part of the neighbourhood.

Two excellent classes at this Studio make me wish I had more time to exercise. I know!…read more My first love is the dance fitness class led by Heather Kay (www SparkleNation.ca). This is not your grandmother's Zumba class! Great balance of cardio and strength, mix of styles from Latin to Bollywood to african to highland to anything you can think of. And so much fun! Even for a mature, graceless, sort of sedentary type like myself. Coming in at a close second is the trampoline classes (Google Fit and Jump, or look for them on Groupon). Thanks to being protected by the perimeter of your mini trampoline, you and your classmates are safe from my flailing arms and wonky rhythms. You will be amazed at how hard you work while feeling that schoolkid high of JUMPING! Another great full body workout. Both classes are very welcoming - doesn't matter who you are, you can do this. You will love it!
