This is a really good studio, the teachers here a very caring and help you become the best dancer…read moreyou can possibly be.

If your looking for a dance school that is run with good ethics this is not the place for your…read morechild!! Incident Jan 27th: My daughter completes her dance class and is getting dressed to go home... but wait...her running shoes are missing!!! I go into that change room looked in the lost and found... cubbies...corners... other girls bags..NOTHING. At this point I am disgusted!! Now my daughter is leaving barefoot to get to the car?? Are you serious?? My husband calls a dance teacher who is the owners Barry's daughter..as useful as a brick wall! I expressed my frustration and include it is ridiculous that you pay hundreds of dollars and now how to worry about petty theft.... seriously! ! I also included this is why I prefer my child to bring her personals with her to class so they are safe. She wanted to know why am I getting mad at her...does she want me to give my daughter her shoes so she can get home?? Matter of fact..YES!!! The owner Barry could care less..until I posted on their site a review outlining our experience and suggesting whom ever took the shoes bring them back and teach their daughter about stealing. Low and behold my husband gets a call after my post 3 hrs later indicating they found my daughters shoes in the corner?!?! The same corner I looked in myself?!?! What a miracle... and that my daughter can leave their school !!! This place has no integrity. Come to find out through other parents who also have children that go their that theft is a regular thing and they don't do much about it! So I guess it must be very annoying for someone like me to speak up about the principal of things. Barry did refund my husband for costume fees..However I will be pursuing the rest of my fees via small claims court.

My daughter has been with TDI for 6+ years, they have always been fantastic! Warm and welcoming,…read moreamazing teachers and families. I am really glad we found this studio (we saw a couple of dancers competing at the CNE, and found out they were in Scarborough which was perfect for us!). We began our competitive journey last year, and my daughter absolutely loves it! Monika, the director is amazing! I highly recommend this studio, they have expanded the Tap programme now to the really young kiddos now too. Don't be afraid to chat with other parents there, we are all friendly! The studio has a great reputation, anytime we mention which studio we are with, people always say how amazing they are and how respect the dancers are...how we clap for everyone at competitions and congratulate other dancers. Anyways, wanted to leave this review because I noticed a negative one. Socialize with other parents, talk to the teachers etc....The cutest thing happened after my daughter did her first solo ever and in competition in March of this year, her entire team had run to watch her and then they came out and gave her a huge group hug when she finished!! Anyways, both recreational and competitive streams are fantastic!

My daughter loves this dance school! She's enrolled in two classes and enjoys them both. Her…read moreteacher is so lovely and amazing with the kids. Her assistant helper is super sweet, such a great kid. All the staff are so welcoming and friendly. The place itself is great with a lounge, lunch room, free wifi etc. Hoping to enjoy many years at this dance school. I would also like to comment on the other reviews here which I read and which made me a little weary before I joined as I was coming from another dance school. They have never advised me I can ONLY buy items needed (uniforms etc) at their "partner shop". I also think the lady who makes the rounds is quite nice and fair. I haven't had any issues at all with anyone.

Yonge and St. Clair, Deer Park

I've been very self-conscious about my ample physique for as long as I can remember so a few years…read moreago, I decided to get involved in something that would give me a break from feeling bad about myself for at least an hour a week. I started bellydance class and I've enjoyed it more and more as I've progressed. My friends tease me for it but I have absolutely no shame during bellydance class. I stand at the front of the room and I put forth all my effort. In fact, I bellydance with such reckless abandon that silver coins detach from my satin coin belt and scatter across the studio floor. Bellydance has made me more confident about being a curvy girl. I have a tendency to be an introverted chubby bunny but when I'm dancing, I am an exotic and voluptuous seductress. I smile coyly at myself in the studio's mirrored wall, transfixed by my own spiralling hips. I feel sexy instead of uncomfortable about having a little extra junk in the trunk. What I like about Arabesque Academy: - The instructors at Arabesque are excellent, knowledgeable and approachable. They all have lots of experience as cabaret performers and as teachers. - Most classes are drop-in which is great if you don't like to be pinned down to a specific date and time every week. - There's a real diversity of dance classes to try, in addition to the different levels. Supplement the standard lessons with classes in tribal, belly hop, folklore, conditioning, props... Also, the standard classes let you explore different styles of traditional Middle Eastern dance and music like saidii, khaleeji and cabaret. - The student gala happens twice a year and it is very professionally put together. It's so much fun to get dressed up and show off your well-rehearsed moves in front of a supportive audience. What I don't love about Arabesque Academy: - The studio isn't in great shape. The change room consists of a kitchenette with a length of fabric pinned over the door. The floors are coated with tape - this is a tough surface for doing certain dance moves, especially when the tape gets gunked up with strands of hair and stray coins. - The per-lesson price feels far too high when 18 people show up to take a particular class. I wish Arabesque would put an attendance cap on their classes, dependent on which room is being used. It's just not possible to get much from a lesson when it's too cramped to do 'snake arms'.

Arabesque Academy has been around for a long time (since 1987) and there's a good reason for it:…read morethey are the best! 5 stars! I started taking classes there years ago after I tried the free class offer and haven't looked back! I am now also addicted to performing at their student galas. We get to earn really cool choreographies and then perform in a theatre. How cool is that? I tried classes at a couple of other Bellydance schools and they just don't have the fun-going vibe or consistent class structure that Arabesque has. The Arabesque teachers are all great dancers, kind and supportive. I really feel that they are giving me all of the tools I need to become the best dancer I can be, but in a real fun environment! The school is non-competitive and there are so many awesome different types of women of all ages, sizes and backgrounds there who are looking to have fun and learn more about Middle Eastern dance. The other students are like Any woman looking to try something fun and exciting, I would strongly recommend taking classes at Arabesque!
