People often think they have to bring a parter to the class, but you don't need to worry about it. In the group workshop, they make sure to rotate everyone and even dance with you to help you get it. I really appreciate that they share their tricks, tips, and techniques. They are very helpful in polishing your dance skills. They also offer private lessons if you want them to fully focus on your footworks and technique!

No question. And when you realize that fact and find you can't live without knowing how to play the bagpipes, MPDS is the place to learn. When I moved to our fair city, I wasn't sure that Montreal would be a good city to get back into playing the bagpipes again after a long hiatus, because it didn't seem like the most bagpiperly place. But that shows how much I knew moving here. I was delighted to find that there's a whole Montreal Piping and Drumming School, for anyone who wants to learn. They meet at the Shriners Karnak hall in DDO, right off the highway, and they've got groups at all levels to teach you how to play the Scottish Highland bagpipes, even if you're starting from zero musical background. The school is really tight-knit and makes a great little community, and the instructors and students at MPDS help you get to know the greater bagpiping world in Montreal (which is surprisingly enormous). Lessons run in the fall and the spring, and there's a free weekly meetup all through the summer for former students. But I guess, bottom line, you totally want to learn to play the bagpipes.

Other studios that have large groups that make it difficult to get individualized attention and its easy to get lost in the crowd.

Many pole studios look down on dancers from the adult industry, but all the students at DG are treated with warmth and respect. I appreciate the way Jem and her staff make students feel welcome, enthusiastic about learning, and proud of their bodies. I highly recommend the studio for classes, as well as the services offered with party planning and special events.

CLC is an excellent language school that I want to return to! Montreal is so close to Vermont where…read moreI live. It's the obvious locale for studying French, but which school? I highly recommend CLC. Every CLC instructor I had was dynamic, expert at teaching, kind, full of humor, and very attentive to each student. I was stunned by the specificity of the feedback they provided about my progress. And I did progress. I can only imagine if I'd been able to stay two months instead of two weeks. My classmates' French seemed at a compatible level with mine, and we quite naturally supported each other. Our teachers' guidance got us sharing from the heart about our lives and world views, all in the language we were learning. I already miss my new friends. I took the Intensive 25. Starting at 10 a.m., I had three 45-minute classes, each with a different teacher. They were energetic, tuned in to everything and everyone, and never boring. When the 2nd or 3rd teacher of the day came in, they would often pick up on what we'd been working on with the previous teacher. This is a superb level or organization and internal communication. Three afternoons per week, I had a 1-hour private lesson. The Intensive 25 includes fun afternoon activities. I attended French Tea Time to practice my French (with yummy donated tea from David's) and had fun at English Tea Time, too, helping English learners practice. The Intensive 25 is the program I would take again. I will most likely continue my studies with a CLC video class, too. I want to build on the gains I made here!

The CLC is more than just a language school. In addition to offering language courses it also…read moreoffers the community language practice sessions and hosts monthly Festive Fridays which are open to everyone. I never took a class here but I have been to multiple Festive Fridays and practice sessions so I will cover that in this review. The concept behind their language practice sessions, or "Tea Time" as they call it is simple. You can either pay $2 or contribute a box of cookies to be enjoyed while you sit around with the others and practice a language in a casual and relaxed setting. They offer Tea Times in English, French, Japanese and Spanish. For a while I was a regular at French Tea Time because I found it helpful. They always had volunteers on hand who spoke the language either as their mother tongue or fluently so you always had experienced people to practice with. I even volunteered at the English tea time to help others work on their English. In fact the only reason I stopped going was because I ended up getting a new job and my work schedule didn't mesh well with the Tea Time schedule. That is the one downside to this program. It runs from 4 to 6 so if you work a 9 to 5 job you can't make it. Once a month the school also hosts Festive Fridays. These are events designed to introduce the students as well as anyone else who comes by to food from another culture. If you are a student admission is free but for anyone else you have to pay a small fee of $5. Each event centers around a certain food from a particular culture. I have been to taco nights, takoyaki nights and crepe nights. All were quite fun and the atmosphere was indeed festive. This is a great community-oriented school. While I can't speak for the quality of the classes I highly recommend checking out the Tea Time or Festive Fridays. Both are excellent opportunities to work on your language skills and get to know more about the school.

The love affair kicked off there. I love the old buildings from the 60s and 70s that remind me of the ideals of those times, the big open spaces with raw concrete halfway sunk into the earth and lifting up through several floors of windows looking out on old churches covered these days in projection mapping and often lots of snow. The teachers and students I've met here have all been cool and civic minded and open minded and engaged. The newer buildings are labyrinthine like a good university should be with lots of light and a (possibly intentional) lack of internet access inside the classrooms.
