Learning to dance? You’ve come to the right place!

At Broadway Ballroom, we enjoy training people in the athletic art of ballroom dancing. Even if you've never danced a step in your life, you'll feel right at home in this beautiful studio.

Getting Started

The best way to start is with beginner group classes. These are especially designed for people who are new to ballroom dances. You'll cover the most popular dances, including the Waltz, Tango, Quickstep, Rumba, Cha Cha, West Coast Swing and Jive. You'll start right at the beginning, with the most basic steps. Before long, you'll feel comfortable enough to move on to more sophisticated steps.

As in learning most skills, people need to practice very regularly and learn step by step. It is normal to stay in and repeat each level for several months before being ready to advance. In each course, you review material taught at the previous level and then learn new steps and dance technique. Our goal is to train dancers to the highest standard of each dance.

Beginner Classes

We have great beginner classes for those new to ballroom dancing, in the Chinese language . The classes happen on Sundays from 6:20-8:30pm. Format is 1 hour Latin and 1 hour Standard each week. Half price promo! Only $6 per hour.

Taking it further

After you get a little more familiar with the basics, most people want to move on to experience a little more. We offer technique classes that give you more information, so you can make those steps look even better and more polished.

Private Lessons

For those who want to accelerate their training, learn specific dances in detail, or who wish to develop their dancing skills through competition, we recommend private lessons. Our world class teachers, including Canadian champions, will work with you one-to-one to perfect your skills. Fees vary, depending on which instructor you choose.

Handy tips:

1 You do not need a partner to take dance lessons. Most people sign up solo. Partners will rotate during the class.

2 Wear comfortable but respectable clothing and shoes.

3 Relax and enjoy learning something new. No one has any expectations of you.

4 Practice everyday, even something small like steps or turning. Just a few minutes a day can make a big difference.
