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

I have always wanted to try a pole dancing class. The unfortunate thing is my inner stripper is not…read morenearly as proficient at swinging around a pole as I imagined her to be. But lucky for me the instructors at Aradia are awesome at encouraging and coaxing that inner sensual diva out. Even for the most clumsy and awkward of us. The class started out with some stretches. I have to say getting to hang off a pole really helps deepen stretches to a whole new level. Right after that we got to get right down to business and try out some various swing techniques around the pole. At first I could barely get out one full swing but it was amazing to see the improvements possible after several attempts. This studio was easy enough to find but is somewhat hidden just off Wye Road. There is ample free parking out front. The studio has 13 poles which is a perfect size for a class like this. I was a little late for the class so didn't have much time to explore the rest of the studio. Thanks again Yelp for another amazing fit club event. Oh and thanks to Aradia for the amazing snack provided as well. How amazing would a class l8ke this be for a birthday party or stagette with your besties and gal pals.

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.

I went out to Step by Step to... get ready for it... to take an adult ballet class! This is…read moresomething that I have wanted to do for years. While I studied ballet for 14 years growing up, it had been 15 years since my last class, so you could basically say I was a beginner all over again. The dance studio is right at the very front of Sherwood Park, so it is quite easy to get to and not too far from the city. The space itself is nice, a small wait area for the kids in between classes to hang out or for the parents waiting. There are a couple studios - though I only saw two. I was quite nervous when I walked in but the woman who was working at the reception desk was amazing! She was warm and welcoming and totally positive, making me know I was in good hands and in the right place. The fabulous owner, Noelle and her daughter Kristy are always around and are just two of the best people and dance instructors you could find. I observed a youth hip hop class for a few minutes before my class was to start, you could really tell that the kids were learning, super in to it and having a blast. Their instructor was really great. And this themed carried on as I started my class. I have to say, just wow, the man who teaches the ballet classes is just superb: Well trained as a dancer as well as an instructor. Providing the perfect balance or theory, etiquette, history and body consciousness. If you are looking for a dance studio for your children or for yourself, Step By Step is a caring and wonderful environment. You will not be disappointed, so definitely go and give them a proverbial (and literal) swing on the dance floor!
