Adam Watson: Fantastic service, so helpfully and friendly, great dance lessons and could not have asked for better experience.
Kenny B: We are a 60+ couple who went for our wedding first dance lessons here. We were lucky to get Julia as our instructor. She is amazing. She quickly choreographed an impressive routine for our off-the-wall songs. Shout out for Arthur Murray and Julia!
Andrew: Sheryle and her staff have been absolutely delightful, professional and completely accommodating towards my partner and I who are raw beginners - five stars for customer service!
Deepika Bharti: Its a place where you get kind ,patient & lovely people as your trainer/Teachers, Even overall everyone is really warm.....They are like International Champions but you can never tell as they are just so humble!! If there is any iota of doubt or you're perturbed about the price and wanna go elsewhere, Let me assure YOU WILL GET TRUE EXCELLENCE!!......I highly highly recommend Anthony (kind, super fun, TRUE PERFECTION!!) & Curt (Soooo Patient, Fun ,YOU'LL NEVER BE BORED WHEN HE IS TEACHING )........Now go and start dancing :)
Dana Christopherson: Studio and teachers are really great. We have the intro package which teaches you a few easier dances to see what you like. There are social distance classes as well as zoom based ones (we have seen those for groups) and everyone is wearing a mask which is great.
Jenny Graham: A wonderful space, with wonderful students and wonderful teachers. Whether you’re a beginner or have danced for decades you’ll find a community of people waiting to welcome you and some of the best dance instruction you’ll ever receive.
Peter Kostka: Amazing instructors who focus on teaching you how to lead and follow first. We'd gone to a lot of dance schools before, and this is the first that really taught us how to dance as a couple.

Stuart Ho: Nice atmosphere and great dance floor
Dan B: So much fun here! And really nice little space!
Albert Saravi: Good place, very clean. Good air ventilation
BJClayden: Latin dance events for years. One of the best spots in town
Tom De Pauw: The Sunday night salsa and bachata and kizomba dance was well attended, very friendly, clean and spacious. I will surely return.
More Memorable Events: The Danceys are such a wonderful support for the local dance community. They are thoughtful and kind and run events that are inclusive and loads of fun. I smile so much when dancing at the ballroom that my face hurts. The dance instructors are talented and very good. Had an excellent bachata lesson with Carla and Javi. Wonderful experience for my neubie friend. He left with some useful skills and confidence to keep trying and having fun. Can't ask for more than that. And dancers of all skill levels enjoyed the lesson because everyone learned something. Can't wait to return.
Omar Serry: Amazing staff, studio and vibes. Special thanks to Patrick, Lily and Kebera!
Greg Dombowsky: Modern space with a good sound system. Relatively good parking nearby. Great instructors and owners. Their parties are often busy as well.
Farah S: Great managers and great teacherWill be back for many many other classes for sure.
Nathalie F.R.: I went there for wine and cheese night. Laid-back (I.e. not very intimidating) environment! I danced 4 hrs without a break. Was it the music? The dancers? The fact that I haven't danced in ages? The vino? Idk. Perhaps all the above. But yet one thing stands-- the staff here are down to earth and pleasant ^^
Greg Slonina: I'd say this is one of the best dance studios in Vancouver
Beth Mac Donald: I finally got to experience Salsa lessons. I am so thankful that I got to experience it here! The instructor was friendly, helpful, hands on and made lessons FUN. Great way to spend a Friday evening.
Paula Bruna Victória Ferreira Schutt: Dance school with great instructors! I took salsa lessons with Patrick and he is the best! Love their socials, very friendly environment! I just wish it could be more spacious like the old Dancey Ballroom, but I understand that Vancouver rentals are crazy expensive.
David Maud: Not only a great place to learn Salsa, but I love the social element of it as well. The best dance group I've joined!
Marni MacLeod: Great studio to learn all kinds of new dance styles. Taking a Salsa refresher right now and the instructors are great, the people are welcoming and over all it's been a wonderful experience.
Anton Lobashkov: Nina is a great teacher!
Rolando Hernandez: Nice space, central and easy to park.
Arturo Luna: If you like to Dance this is the right place.

isabelle t: rachel ginter is quite rude and unhelpful, don't recommend her at all. very unprofessional
jennifer brouse: I feel like I found my mother ship. I have lived in Vancouver almost as long as Harbour Dance has existed, but for some reason, I never took the leap. A few years back tried a couple of intermediate classes with Nathan (so fantastic!) after he subbed hip hop at my gym. I was mostly able to keep up with that level, but I ended up injuring my foot (because I did it in heels the second time and wasn't ready for that!) and then the pandemic happened.I have returned to HD this month with much trepidation and anticipation. The intro classes are challenging, but they are doable and engaging, with cool, current choreo. All the instructors are very supportive and encouraging of intro level students. The pace is brisk and the classes are full, but I am meeting so many new people. In a city that can seem cold and unfriendly, this studio is an oasis of like minded people passionate about music and movement. I don't have a formal dance background, but have danced all my life, been active with fitness and yoga and fine art modelling. Choreography can be intimidating, but I am going for it!I am so excited to have begun this journey and life long dream. My favourite classes so far are Intro Keep it Sexy with Trey on Mondays and on Thursdays with Carlo. I am also taking as many classes with Eric as possible. The staff are so kind and friendly. You will learn moves and have fun here! Don't be shy! Everyone is self conscious, if you chat you'll make friends so easily here. Even the experienced dancers are super friendly to beginners.
Celine Pio Roda: For everyone saying HDC isn't for beginners, do try Laura Kirchner's Heels class or Heels Progressive Workshops as they do a good job teaching you the very fundamentals of jazz funk/heels/femme dance styles. For Hip Hop, do try Ken Yung or Ritchie. Speak to the HDC staff to figure out which beginner classes would be a better fit for you as not all beginner classes are the same in difficulty level. The great thing about HDC is you grow exponentially fast in your dance journey when you train here.
95 Stoney: be sure to never be late for classes here for whatever reason. The receptionist is so nice that she would just hung up the call while you are explaining the reason for being late.Amazing customer service.
ZHEN CONG: Pretty nice to have this place to learn dancing. Real beginner friendly. ❤️
D C: Echoing other reviewers that this studio is NOT beginner friendly. Purchased the intro offer but only went to one class because of the stand-offish and judgmental vibe. For the record I took the intro class with Mary Gavilan. If you're a true beginner who feels shy and intimidated, I recommend trying Formation Studio instead.
NONO SHEN: Best dancing studio i have found in Vancouver. All teachers are so friendly and amazing - they made me not only fall in love with dancing, arts but also life.
R Pono: I can't emphasize enough how much of a gem this studio is in the city. There's really no comparison with other dance studios. They have the best classes, incredibly talented and skilled teachers and really aligned with the current industry. Whether you're a professional seeking to upgrade or polish up your skills or an absolute beginner looking to explore the joys of dance, there's a class and teacher here for you 💕
Olivia Boon: Amazing, amazing, amazing - this studio is my home away from home. My dance journey has been filled with love and positivity thanks to the wonderful teachers, owners, and staff at Harbour. Try a class or a training group, I promise you won’t regret it!❤️ Thank you Harbour, for everything! ❤️
Ingrid Oliveira: TLDR: Unfortunately, the reviews stating that this place is not for beginners are true. It is also not a place for people who only dance as a hobby. It feels more like a place for very experienced dancers to practice their skills rather than a place to learn.I bought the "new student" package to take ballet classes and, after my first class, I don't feel like coming back. I've danced ballet for a few years in the past, but only as a hobby. Since I didn't want to start from zero (beginner class), I booked the intermediate class which is described as "for dancers with anywhere from one to four years experience who enjoy a slower-paced class with less complex dance steps."While the dance steps aren't very complex, the class is really fast-paced. Most "students" are actually professionals or highly experienced dancers or have been taking classes with the instructor for a long time. So it is easy for them to memorize long and fast sequences, but if you are new to HDC, you just stay there trying to catch up while feeling lost and dumb. In addition, because the class is so full, the instructor is unable to do hands-on corrections, and there is also no interest in the new students' backgrounds to make sure that they keep up with the class. The least that could be done is to place the new students near experienced dancers at the barre so they could have a reference during the barre exercises. Even giving the new students slower variations to get used to the instructor's style would be enough to make us feel more comfortable in our first couple of classes.I also asked about the beg/intermediate class, hoping that it would be a better fit. However, the instructor said that it was basically the same as the intermediate class. So what's the point in giving it a different name? As the schedule for the beginner classes* is impossible for me, I've decided not to use the other classes from the package that I bought. It was a highly uncomfortable experience for me, I've never felt more out of place and just wanted to leave the class asap.*The beginner classes are clearly not for beginners, since they would be more of my level and I do have previous ballet experience.Note: the instructor, staff, and dancers were all super friendly, the music used in class was great, and the choreography was beautiful. However, I'm just too dumb to pick up fast-paced sequences after a 5-second explanation in my first class.
Sizhuo Qi: I’ve been taking ballet beginner class at UBC and I find the ballet beginner class of HDC isn’t for beginner students.The instructor didn’t teach any basic hand positions or feet positions, she just did all techniques combined directly assuming everyone is familiar with the terms and movement. I felt like it’s a more intermediate class.I noticed most of students in the class can already dance well and they could follow and memorize the practice movements with no problem even the instructor went through what we need to do for the practice really really quickly, the students don’t look like beginners to me.Anyways, it’s hard for a real beginner with no dance background or experience to follow the class.
Candice Zhang: Great studio but my only problem is that it is not necessarily beginner friendly - for context, I’ve been dancing as a hobby for around 2-3 years now (on and off), and the beginner classes are still pretty difficult for me! It also doesn’t help when a lot of the students in beginner classes are obviously professionals who can do full splits and very advanced techniques! It would be great to have more true beginner classes.
Reene Weston: My daughter went and she really enjoyed the variety of the attendees
Ann: TLDR: Great studio for confident dancers, not great for beginners.(Context: I danced from when I was age 5-17, and started taking beginner Hip Hop classes at Harbour Dance during university. So I have a lot of experience dancing I was not professional or particularly exceptional. I took Harbour Hip Hop beginner classes for 3 years, on and off.)Fantastic staff and instructors. Some really fun classes to take with incredible niches being represented. There's a lot to be desired, though, in terms of overall infrastructure and accessibility (though I don't blame them directly, finding real estate in Vancouver is difficult at best, but I think it's important to mention as it affects your experience).I think they are victim to their building's restrictions as it does not fit the number of people coming to the classes. Both the change rooms, classrooms, and reception area are incredibly cramped. You are also always brushing shoulders with professional dancers, which is quite intimidating when new to the studio. It's hard to dance full out when your classmates are only a meter away from you. The classrooms get very hot and stuffy, especially the downstairs studios.There's a particular gamble you take when paying for a class. Eventually, I had to stick to one teacher because it wasn't clear what kind of music/style other teachers were going to teach (likely a common gamble when taking a class broadly called "Hip Hop"). I once got stuck in an hour class with a teacher who was especially harsh to beginners (the most anxiety I've ever experienced in a dance class).It's hard to bond with an instructor because of how many students attend a class and the instructor is often racing off to somewhere else after class (home or another class) so there's a lack of rapport unless you push your way into talking to them. I mean, I can imagine how hard it is to connect with the hundreds of students they teach alongside providing quality teaching, I deeply sympathize.Another thing that was very stressful was how the seasoned company dancers would join beginner classes. It has the same effect as graduated students visiting their high school teachers, it's very off-putting and defaults the spotlight to them. I imagine they envision themselves taking on a sub-teacher position so more dancers can see the choreo (wouldn't be necessary if they had smaller class sizes) but their relationship with the instructor can make attendees feel othered.If you're used to dance culture, you likely won't find any of what I've said off-putting or anxiety-inducing. Having experienced dancers join your class could be fun and exhilarating if you don't experience insecurity about your own skills. But I think overall when you're catering to beginners, having everyone take humility in their ability is really important. You sign up for a beginner class to be surrounded by people like you, equally unsure and vulnerable. So when a very experienced dancer comes in it can be upsetting and unexpected.All that being said, I've moved on from Harbour because the amount of anxiety and intimidation I felt from being jostled around in the cramped and stuffy reception area to professional dancers joining beginner classes was too much. Unfortunately, Vancouver has a meager selection of quality Hip Hop Drop-In Adult classes and leaving has left me with very few options (Culturally Defined has been one option I've thought about due to their more restrictive registration, individualized growth focus, and beginner friendly progressives). What was inaccessible about Harbour can't truly be changed unless someone buys them a gigantic studio and encourages a more welcoming environment to new dancers of all ages (though professional dancers coming to class + the high school graduate metaphor seems like an issue that far exceeds a dance school and is a personal ego problem). I wish the best for them and all the dancers there, it was a fun couple years but I am far too tired to cope with the roller-coaster of anxiety this studio is.
Mia November: Absolutely love Eric malapad's grooving class
Terri Critchley: Groovy vibe, excellent selection of classes taught by reputable professionals, fun from start to finish! Highly recommended.
Yunduz Rakhmangulova: Tried ballet intro class. It was quite fun, good energy, good speed.
Kirsten Thomson: I have really enjoyed coming here and it has reignited my love for dance! The teachers are are very talented here and have great choreography, and the studios are quite large and nice.My reason for 4/5 stars is because some of the Intro level classes are truly beginner friendly, and some are not. I think once you find your favourite teacher (for me it’s Sydney!) you can have the most fun, because even within the same style of dance the classes are really different depending on the teacher.
Symone Dhariwal-Verma: Welcoming, challenging classes for all levels and styles. Had a fantastic time
Tim Hu: Harbour Dance Centre is my favourite Vancouver dance studio! Every teacher is so friendly and I just loved the open and welcoming atmosphere of the studio. Definitely a great place to dance and meet people in the dance community. Incredible variety of classes. Lots of great year-round and summer programs for dancers seeking more of a commitment. The location is great and very transit-friendly.
patrykaj: Salsa dance teacher is a good teacher and very funny

Eliza W: Awesome! I go to the other location more since it's closer, but iDance is awesome - from the instructors to the community. It's the place to go when learning dance. :)
Sulaiman Akram: Amazing place for zumba, Mondays at 5:20 pm
Hasti Rabierad: Awesome place to learn dance! Everyone is super friendly and involved and you’ll get the attention you need. They break everything down easily and you learn stuff you can use outside the studio. Once you take one class here you are absolutely hooked the teachers are incredibly kind and caring. I will never ever forget my first house class feeling absolutely terrified and overwhelmed thankfully teachers like Fran make the environment so welcoming. My first ever class being with Tereza not having a clue about SOCA she provides such an important background on the what SOCA is and where it comes from. When I first came to iDance lyrical & jazz wasn't available then recently Amanda's classes were added into the schedule at the Kitsilano location and I absolutely LOVE her classes and look forward to them each week hopefully there will be more of her class to book in the future. 1000% recommend this dance studio worth every dime.
Ash Outadi: Frans house dance classes are amazing! I will follow her to every studio she teaches house.She hits the perfect balance between instruction, repetition and just letting students dance and vibe to the music.
Jeanine Fahlman: Just had my first group dance class since ZUMBA was a thing 😂 it was a lot of fun and I really loved seeing how passionate the instructor, Serge, was about the dance style roots and the Jamaican dancers he had learned the dancehall moves from. It’s really different from any dance I’ve tried, and so creative. I’ll definitely be back to work on my moves!
Kira Loeb: Jojo's classes are always amazing! He his so fun and upbeat, and the classes always feel very inclusive and safe. The studio space at iDance is really lovely, clean and tidy with nice big mirrors. The staff are really kind and seem to have a really good system to keep things safe for covid. Definitely going to be taking more classes throughout the summer!
Joanna Michal: LOVE this dance studio! Super positive, kind, friendly instructors and some of the funnest choreography I have ever danced! REALLY enjoyed Casielle's gorgeous choreo tonight. Also a big fan of Sophie's classes 3, and Carla's modern/contemporary (awesome warm up) is another of my favs. Luxurious amount of space to dance in classes right now with the limited class sizes due to Covid ... just have to sign up for classes quickly when booking opens to snag a spot before they get full!
Jojo Zolina: It's a welcoming environment. Everyone is so friendly and helpful.
Ashley s: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueJust finished the Virtual Party Grooves with Jordan. My girlfriends and I did the class together! Such a fun way to keep moving :) Jordan was a great teacher!! Informative, breaks the moves down, and good music choices!
Alyssa Sager: Oh my goodness is this review is long overdo! As a 39 year-old woman, I have to admit I was intimidated to join a 90's hip-hop class. Even though it was my teen / dance era, I hadn't danced in a class for something like 20 years. I was SO nervous, but a friend convinced me that I had to do it, and I am SO glad that I did!Not only was the place welcoming from the moment I stepped in, but the class instructor then causally eased us into the warm up and first steps without it feeling overwhelming. It was so much fun! She was hilarious, cracking 90's hip hop jokes while busting a move, which made learning the moves less intimidating - especially if we didn't pick it up right away. She went over the hard parts again and again until we got it, and was watching everyone, ensuring they felt comfy enough to move onto the next steps. By the end I was SHOCKED that I actually learned a dance to an entire song! I for sure thought it would be impossible.It was honestly such a great experience. I know idance is doing some online courses now given the new Covid restrictions, and I imagine they're still awesome. I'll be signing up for another soon. Thanks to all the instructors for keeping people fit during this wild time!
Alexa Milne: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueThe staff and instructor (Carla) were so welcoming and friendly. They made what could have been an intimidating experience into a comfortable, energizing and fun space! Great for all ages, all levels - Carla made learning the routine easy and rewarding. Will definitely be back!
Jessica Cochran: Ive taken three different classes and I'm happy with the variety of dance styles and quality instructors that the studio boasts. I'll try a few more to take advantage of all the different styles that include influence from jazz, ballet, tap, contemporary, hip hop, and more.I felt welcomed, empowered, and safe in the classes. The studio is nice and sufficiently spaced for covid protocol.
Tom Yoo: iDance Kitsilano was a great studio to learn many types of dance and one I would consider signing up with again. The instructors were always encouraging and very energetic that for some I wondered how many cups of coffee they drank before class. What made classes enjoyable were that some had games and activities which I would have liked to see in more.This is one dance studio I would highly recommend to anyone even people with no dance experience since all classes are beginner friendly. It is definitely worth trying out. First class is only $10!Second Review: I had mostly a positive experience the first time so I decided to sign up a second time after a few months. I did not give a 5 star the first time because I felt that there was something missing. Dance is a social activity but the studio lacked community and I found the environment to be unwelcoming. The setup was not in a way to encourage mingling and the staff there were unfriendly and detached. During the pandemic, this behavior is understandable but the studio has been practicing social distancing even before. I was there to have fun but was disappointed which discourages me from continuing. Plus this was the only fitness and dance studio that didn't ask me (twice) whether I wanted to continue after my pass was done which gave me the impression they didn't really value my business there. The classes itself were mostly enjoyable but the only thing was there were instructors, especially new ones that did not respect the concept of "open level" and forced students to do moves they were not physically capable of doing. I was also thinking, why not split up the popular classes into different levels since there are a lot of people.
Keith, Christine Tam: Taking the kpop open class and Nancy is fun, professional, and keeps it real! Good for beginner dancers or higher level! I enjoy it enough to keep going. Includes classic hip hop steps with current kpop hip hop!
Mae Boudreau: I am so happy with IDance Studios! Both the Mount Pleasant and Kitsilano studios are great! I just joined their VID (Very Important Dancer) for unlimited dance classes with both studios! And if I can't get enough I could also dance online with their recorded dances and also virtual classes if I wanted to too! I just love the friendly people and a place where I can just dance so freely! There are so many different types from Contemporary, Street, Hip Hop and K-Pop! I am so happy to just be dancing and enjoying my free time at the studio!
Carla V: Awesome variety of classes and instructors! I have zero dancing experience and have been successful in every class. Studio is clean and the staff are super nice. Highly recommend if your looking for a fun, active, indoor activity this winter!
Soy Bean: I dropped in one of their classes on their grand opening day, Oct 1st. Since then I can't stop loving this place! I tried all different classes, Jazz Funk, Jazz, Sexy Street, K-Pop, Hip-hop, House, Party Grooves, R&B... Oh I can't say which one is my most favorite one as I love all of them! All the teachers here are so amazing with not only their great skills but also with their being so kind and patient. Here you would not feel embarrassed to raise any questions, as the teachers always encourage you to do that. Most teachers here can even remember us students' names right after one or two classes. Owner/receptionists are also very nice and sweet! They make us feel so welcome and warm. Oh, almost forgot to mention, I also met new friends here. After my boring job and my boring studying, this studio really brightens my evenings and brings me so much fun!

SJ Coleman: The Happening is totally where its happening for kids dance in Vancouver. The studio and staff are open, inclusive, hard working, talented and friendly. Did I also say they are organized, have wonderful communications to the parents and create the most supportive environment for kids and families? Kimberly and the crew care deeply not just about teaching dance but also about cultivating a healthy dance culture. We are so glad we found The Happening.

Stephanie James: We absolutely love The Happening. The instructors are so creative and passionate about what they do. It is an ALL inclusive studio and the instructors bring out the best in their students. The classes are different all the time and super fun. You must see the end of year show, it is always incredible!
Jen Rose: We are so grateful that we found the Happening. Kim and her team are incredible, the community is so supportive and inclusive, and the kids all love it. It's been a dream come true to see my daughter connect with something she's so passionate about.
Michelle Murphy: We absolutely love dancing at the Happening. We tried other dance studios but the core values of this studio make it the most inclusive, friendly, fun studio to be at. We drive across the city to dance at the Happening instead of our local dance studio. It’s that good. All the instructors are top notch, choreography is outstanding, classes are fast paced but everyone is carried along with no dancer left behind. My child’s dance level improved 1000% after one term. And, they have classes for adults! I’m on my second 9-week hip hop class and I love it! It’s the best hour of my week. Ms Kim and her staff have done an incredible job of providing la creme de la creme dance instruction while keeping it fun and engaging and making everyone feel so good about themselves and their abilities. It’s happening at the Happening!
Riley Park Piano Studio: Wonderful space and fun instructor who trained in the National Ballet School
J E: The adult classes here are awesome! It's nice to do a progressive class instead of just drop ins. It's also nice not to have to worry about being good and just have fun. They've handled covid-19 very professionally and I always feel safe.
Jonathan Wornell: Kim is a most-awesome teacher! Love this dance studio!
Rob Trendiak: I have worked alongside Kimberly Stevenson and the Happening dance for many years and have watched her grow her students from 9 to 180. She pours all her heart and soul into her students and her dance. It has been amazing to watch her students skill level and passion for dance grow exponentially. Her students now are winning all sorts of awards at dance competitions. If you are thinking about entering your kids into dance, look no further, The Happening Dance is the best place in Vancouver hands down!
Mark Boyland: The best dance studio that I have ever been to! And has the best shows!

Joel has a unique ability to make a room full of diverse people of various cultures and ages feel warm and welcome in the dance world. As a newcomer dancer this year Joel’s classes were extremely easy to understand and learn in. He created a positive learning environment in which we could be proud of learning the basic parts of each dance move while working to master the nuances of each step without becoming frustrated along the way. He has a generous spirit and ensures that no one falls behind in their learning regardless of the level they are at. Even as lessons progressed and some people learned quicker than others Joel ensured that everyone still had fun and he provided appropriate feedback for each person that was specific to them. I can recommend taking lessons from Joel wholeheartedly and look forward to learning from him in the future.
Behind the scenes, Joel and Clara are athletes who are passionate, determined, and focused on perfecting their dancing, but on the dance floor they are 100% entertainers. They captivate the audience with their display of elegance, sophistication, and playfulness.
It’s a magnificent thing to watch Joel and Clara dance. They smile not because they are supposed to, but because they truly love DanceSport and enjoy entertaining the audience. It’s sincere and it shows!
Joel and Clara are polished. Their dancing is filled with intensity, beauty, and athleticism. They are not only entertainers but also the mot determined and goal-oriented athletes you’ll ever meet.
We have had the pleasure to watch Joel & Clara from the beginning of their dance partnership. They have continued to improve through hard work, dedication and a love of dancing. Joel and Clara have become not only BC Open and Closed champions, they have represented BC, placing in the finals at the Canadian Open and Closed Championships and at many international dance competitions. This talented and personable couple are truly wonderful ambassadors for ballroom dancing and for Canada.

Our wedding First Dance was a great success! I don’t know if it was the wine or the adrenaline, but we got through the whole routine without any errors, and everyone loved it. I think Tom was more proud of the dance than he was of the ceremony itself.
Clara and Joel were very enjoyable to work with. While it was clear that they are experienced competitive dancers and teachers, they were able to work with a couple of inexperienced (and eager!) students to help us bring together an amazing first dance for our wedding. Our wedding dance was very personal and appropriate for us; Clara made every effort to tailor our song choice and choreography to fit. We came away with a new appreciation for dance and also the accomplishment of having to work through a new challenge as a couple.
Thank you for working with us on our first dance for our wedding. You made the whole experience relaxed and even fun, an impressive feat for two total non-dancers! We really appreciated your gentle coaching and your patience. Our first dance went well. Most importantly, we had fun doing it! Thank you!

niki mottaghian: We had an amazing experience with Joel. My husband and I wanted to prepare for our wedding dance without doing fake moves and looking stressed. Joel taught us all we needed in 5 sessions and the result was amazing!! Absolutely recommended
Janet Lee: Joel's teaching skills were exceptional. Despite our initial wedding dance jitters, he effortlessly guided us through various dance moves and boosted our confidence on the dance floor! Every session with him was a delightful blend of laughter and enjoyment. :D We truly appreciate Joel's wonderful personality and professionalism. Additionally, Joel's flexibility in offering online classes made it a great option for us as we live on the island. Thank you, Joel!
Rod Vafaei: We took intro to ballroom lessons with Joel years ago and he was such a positive influence in our lives that we immediately came back to him for our wedding dance lessons. Joel is a detailed and professional coach and really tailors his lessons to your needs. But more important than anything else, he is an kind and caring soul who goes out of his way to make your experience perfect. I could not possible recommend JC Dance Co more for all of your ballroom/wedding lesson needs. It's always a blast with them!
nolan Ashworth: Extremely beginner friendly and supportive environment. I'd never danced before joining the beginner group class and thought it might be weird going as a single guy but it was very easy to start learning and loving it. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to gain this beautiful skill.
Jessica Edwards: Joel was an incredible dance teacher, and we were so fortunate to have the opportunity to work with him. From our very first lesson, we knew we were in good hands. Joel was warm, welcoming, and extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of dance.Throughout our lessons, Joel was always patient and encouraging! He was able to break down even the most complex dance moves into easy-to-follow steps, and he always went the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable and confident with the dance we were learning.As we look back on our wedding day, we are so grateful for the time we spent with Joel. Our first dance was an unforgettable moment that we will cherish for the rest of our lives, and we owe that experience to his incredible teaching and guidance. Highly recommend JC Dance Co!!Photo by Beige Weddings
Ellie Rafiei: Clara is the best!My husband and I started her classes to learn basic couple dance skills and it worked magically! We have a great time in the class and enjoy spending time with Clara so much! Highly recommended for couples who wish to dance with ease and confidence and want to enjoy and have a lot of fun at the same time!
Sarah Wong: We decided last minute to have a first dance at our wedding and we do not have any prior dancing experience. We had a great experience learning with JC Dance Co! We definitely feel prepared now!
John Belshaw: I wasn't dreading dance lessons, but I did not have high hopes. This was going to be a box to tick in a column of things a grown up ought to do at least once. I've no interest in starring on an episode of 'Come Dancing!' nor was I under pressure from my wife to do this either. What a great and pleasant surprise. Joel is a master teacher. We made unexpectedly rapid progress and had a great deal of fun doing so. I heartily recommend JC Dance Co to anyone who wants to venture into dance.
Devin Clarke: Took the beginner ballroom dance class. It was an amazing 12 weeks. The husband and wife team that is JC dance are so fun, kind and make it a casual atmosphere to learn to dance. They have amazing and positive attitudes. Thank you!
Hannah Rankin: I cannot recommend JC Dance Co more! If you are considering trying ballroom, do it here. I have some former dance training, but my husband did not. We did the 12-week beginner ballroom class. Teacher Joel breaks everything down in an easy to understand way for all levels. We laughed our way through every class. It was a fun date night each week, and we got to get in some exercise while at it! It is a great way to dip your toe into the world of dance as it is such a supportive environment. If you don't have a partner, there were plenty of leads and follows to dance with, so that truly isn't an issue. Take the plunge :)
Ella McEwen: We are SO glad we chose JC Dance Co to get us comfortable dancing for our wedding. We had 4 1hr lessons in Vancouver where we danced and learned different moves and it made us feel super comfortable and confident leading up to our wedding dance! We did a trial at a different place but they wanted to do many lessons teaching us a full variety of ballroom steps, all felt way too formal and structured for our wedding. In contrast, JC Dance Co taught us a simple step that felt natural and relaxed, and then taught us fun spins, lifts, and dips that we could throw in and showed us how to structure our dance (like a loose routine). Clara worked with us and she was so fun, friendly, and always smiling. One of the most fun parts of our reception was when we did a spontaneous "last dance" at the end of the night and with everything Clara taught us it was so easy and fun to make it up as we went! Learning to dance together is something we can now take with us, build on, and enjoy throughout the rest of our lives. Can't thank you enough and so glad we invested in this :)
Amy KTH: We found JC Dance Co. and had the best possible first dance lesson experience. Joel is an amazing teacher with helpful guidance that got me and my non-dancing partner dancing together within minutes.My partner, Patrick and I were looking to take partner dancing lessons but I come from a partner and solo/choreo background and he has zero dance experience. Joel's step-by-step dance instruction got Patrick dancing and leading quickly.Joel is positive and encouraging, giving specific direction and tips that we could incorporate right away and be successful. We had so much fun and we're thrilled that we can now dance together. We have some building blocks and look forward to our next lesson!Highly recommend Joel for any couple that comes to dance with all levels of dance experience.
Anthony Cusano: My girlfriend and I took a private introductory class with Clara to learn a new hobby and prepare for some upcoming weddings. It was a wonderful experience! So much fun and the lesson was easy to follow despite us having little to no prior experience. I would highly recommend booking a lesson to anyone that is interested in learning to dance as a couple.
Becca Prince: Amazing dance school with amazing instructors! They break it down so well in fun and easy to understand steps and before you know it you’re actually dancing an entire routine, or freelancing on your own! I saw people dancing the waltz, got inspired, signed up, and now I CAN DANCE THE WALTZ! If this is a dream if yours, don’t wait, you WILL be dancing ballroom in no time!Bonus: They dance so beautifully themselves, it’s so inspiring to watch if you catch it.
Jason Cho: My wife and I completed JC Dance Co's wedding first dance package 2 weeks ago and we debuted the dance at our wedding just last week!I was a bit nervous at first, but Clara's fun and easy-going approach to dance made me feel extremely comfortable; I can honestly say that we LOVED the lessons! Every class was so much fun!We're also REALY glad that we followed Clara's suggestion to not choreograph the dance, but rather to learn the basic moves to their "natural dancing" approach. This made our first dance feel so genuine and we were able to be in-the-moment rather than trying to remember our steps!The TRUE BEAUTY of JC's natural dancing approach is now, I can turn on the music and dance with my wife whenever we want!Any couples wanting to enjoy dancing with their partner should definitely learn JC Dance Co's natural dancing!
Jessica Johnson: Leading up to my wedding, I was most nervous about my first dance... but JC Dance came to save the day (and my nerves). We selected the four session package, which gave us the skills we needed to have some fun during our first dance (while looking good!)
Natanya Russek: We had such a fun time learning to dance for our wedding! We are very novice dancers, and Clara made the experience so fun and was a kind and patient teacher. We would very highly recommend JC dance!
Jessica Chow: The absolute best dancing teacher ever! Joel helped us with preparing for our first dance for the wedding and it was the best decision ever. He was able to teach us the basics but also took our dance to another level to give the wow factor. No one would have ever guessed that we were absolute beginners with no dancing experience. Totally worth taking lessons. Joel is super friendly, encouraging and he makes the classes super fun and easy. Will recommend him to all of my friends and family! Thank you so much Joel! 🙂
Emma V: My husband and I were looking to do a “non-traditional” first dance where we wanted to do a slow and then fast dance shortly into it. Joel was super patient with us and catered to our unique first dance perfectly, adjusting the moves for both the slow and fast parts of the song. He was super encouraging and just plain fun to be around, always with a smile on his face! Our guests loved the moves and were so impressed. Thank you so much Joel!!!
Chloe Bernardino: Our first dance which went super smoothly! We received many compliments about how amazing our first dance was!Clara taught us well, Jon and I had a lot of fun learning new dance moves, we really enjoyed her classes leading up the our wedding!Thank you once again Clara!Jon & Chloe
Carlo Thirtytwo: JC Dance Co was recommended to us by a friend in preparation for our wedding day. Neither of us had much experience with formal dancing and so we were a bit hesitant. Clara, the instructor, was great - she made us feel comfortable and taught us the basic, fundamental techniques that not only would serve us well during our wedding day, but simply anytime we hear music! She did this all in the setting of her own home over the course of three lessons. They were very costly, but we felt they were worth it.We would recommend JC Dance Co for anyone looking to pick up a fundamental understanding of rhythm and movement, and of course, those who are preparing for a wedding day dance.

Garnik Giloyan: In 2022, I attended Roger's party at Science World. I met a women there who convinced me to take lessons with Roger at Granville 927. I was initially skeptical but started in September 2022 and fell in love with the atmosphere and Roger's teaching style. In the beginning I was terrible with basics however Roger's team member helped me with the basics steps. Salsa and Bachata quickly became a part of my life, and I never missed any social or duello party. I highly recommend joining Roger's classes in Vancouver; he is a fantastic teacher, and his team is always willing to help. When I return to Vancouver, I will definitely rejoin his classes. Cheers, Garnik.
Ash Taba: I took all the three beginner courses. The instructor has no sense of respect, I regret going to his classes and events.There are much better dance studios in Downtown Vancouver with professional instructors. Don’t waste your time and money just for a few bucks cheaper classes.
Chad Neufeld: Signed up for 6 sessions and only attended 2. The "beginner" Salsa instruction was extremely fast paced, the instructor covered one movement for about a minute or two, then we were to implement said movement to music for a few minutes with multiple partners, then it was on to the next movement, regardless if you had grasped the concept. They have a class size of about 60+participants and 1 instructor (2 if you count the instructors partner) which leaves no time for individual help. They pump classes in and out in under an hour, and make their profit from the sheer volume and very imbalanced instructor to student ratio. Furthermore the instructor would single people out who were struggling and insult them or poke fun at them(thinking his rudeness was comedic perhaps?). I was thoroughly disappointed by this experience, as I came to learn and have fun but the environment was not optimally conducive to either.
Lilit Hovhannisyan: Best place to dance Bachata and Salsa! ❤️❤️ Rogers an amazing teacher!!!!!
Karen de la O: Amazing vibes, amazing people and a friendly environment.Great music to dance and a amazing place to enjoy music and friends.❤️🙏🏼🕺🏽💃🏻One of my fave place to dance 🔥
Bill Shao: Awesome place to take Bachata and Salsa lessons. Staff is very friendly. Lots of people you can meet. Socials and parties are amazing. Would definitely recommend.
satya walker: Amazing place to start your Latin dance journey! Roger throws the best social dances :) Classes are very beginner friendly and he keeps you super engaged and always leaving wanting more! If you’ve been thinking about trying out dancing (even with no experience) I 100% recommend Rogers classes :))
Oles Andrienko: Roger’s classes and socials are the best. He manages to make things fun yet challenging to make sure you improve every class. Highly recommend.
Paul Lee: Great teacher, great people, great music. Roger is great at teaching every detail of a move. The social dance after class is THE place to be.
Tyler Nagel: Moves along way to quickly for intermediate and novice level members. This mixing of talent between expert and and the newcomers makes it very overwhelming.
Greg Dombowsky: Great dance studio. Roger is a great instructor and his classes are always fun and informative. Monday is Salsa night and Thursday is Bachata night. the music is always great too.
N. PComplete: Less a review of the instruction so much as the community. I can't speak to the male population but I had the pleasure of dancing with a dozen ladies who are very accomplished and the atmosphere seemed very friendly.If I had to nit pick the instruction I'd say there could be more watch and think rather than just follow along. That said, the real measure of any instructor is the community they build and on that they seem to have succeeded.
Troy Tyrell: It was great.
mydogdeli: Roger’s classes are great! He explains and demonstrates clearly with skilled partners. Between demos, even though he has lots of participants, he and his partner are willing to step in and give personal help to the students. Highly recommended.
Sameer Shah: A friend recommended that I try roger’s open house event: something that he hosts for free in every 6 weeks for people to try out his classes. - and there has been no turning back ever since! Not only does he have immense experience and knowledge in both salsa and bachata, but his way of teaching and delivering the classes is something that one should not miss! He just so happens to also organize some of the best known dancing events in all of British columbia. Been learning under roger’s excellence since February 2022, and highly recommend taking his class or a social! Time flies by fast when you’re dancing, it has all been worth it though.
Omar Serry: The best dance socials/events in town. Duello and all socials organized by Roger are great dance socials you will always want to go to. Roger, Raquel and Negar are all great instructors to learn from. Personally speaking, they are great friends too :)
Ju VSE: Be aware in advance if you're a man/boy or otherwise identify as male. The event host Roger charges men 12 bucks to enter his dance parties, whereas he only charges women 8 bucks, because put bluntly, he's a simp. Only beta boys need to use such discriminatory tactics to bait females into joining their events. How far we've come with gender equality in 2022!
Ramin Ziko: I've been going to studio for a while and Roger has helped me to get better at dancing. He run top class events in town and helps beginners or advanced to get to next level. Thanks for all good work Roger
Sara Amini: Simply the best way to get acquainted with latin dance/community in Vancouver! And since Roger offers free open houses for both salsa and bachata you've got nothing to lose!I started at an open house for bachata in August 2021 and was hooked after my very first day! I enrolled in salsa and bachata and dancing took over my life. I love the community and the nights out beat any other events in Vancouver.As for the classes, they are fun and a great way to meet people. Roger teaches you moves you can use on the dance floor. The best way to practice is to attend his socials, usually on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Duello is my most favourite of all!Thank you Roger for introducing me to the beautiful world of latin dancing! 💃🏽
Shahram Fazel: Do you need fun? Would you like to learn how to dance? Do you like Salsa or Bachata? Do you have lake of energy? Wold you like to meet the best dance teacher? Then your answer is Mr Roger.Please join SalsaStudio and meet him.
Nayna Shetty: I've been attending the beginner lessons with Roger since summer last year and I've had a terrific experience so far. Roger introduces new moves in every lesson and explains them in a humorous/easy to understand way. I also highly recommend his social events as they're a great practice platform for beginners and offer ample opportunities to connect with like minded people from the Latin dancing community in Vancouver.
