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.

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.

Francisco Mauro: Nice place to dance and meet new people

Linda C: Wonderful studio to learn dancing.

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

Travis Chiu: Staff & dancing instructors are all very friendly, welcoming, & talented!

Tanya Pawlikewich: My teenaged daughter just tried her first ballet class at the Landing. Before going, she was very nervous as she hadn't taken dance classes anywhere since she was 6. She loved the class and can't wait for her second! Lovely teacher. Exciting environment. Friendly and quick responses to questions from staff.

Anson Li: The place for professional dancing... Even for kids. Parking can be tricky when there's a class switch. The studio is very nice and accommodating to student needs. There's a study room and kitchen for the times when your kids are waiting. All studios have cameras. There are male and female change rooms.

Kirsten Warneboldt: I enrolled my three year old daughter in the parent tot 6 week class, to see how she would like it. She has a gross motor delay (hypotonia) and isn’t able to jump yet. Her delay was no issue at all in Miss Molly’s class, it was a great experience and so good for her development. Even though my daughter tended to “do her own thing” in class, Miss Molly was always encouraging, and Kiki was always having fun. By the fifth class, she was practicing the exercises and we have a home practice now. She met new friends and gained confidence. No one took it too seriously, yet the kids all learned how to line up and follow instructions. I also loved the morning exercise and fun music and scarves! We will likely be back (after she finishes up soccer - always trying new things). One thing - the parking and studio gets crazy after 945. Luckily this was a 915 class :)

Eileen Li: Fast response and good follow up. Just went for a trial and teacher and environment seemed friendly.

Katy G: They offered us the free class for both my kids, and they both loved it! Signed up 1 day later.

N. S: I signed up for their free trial class as my daughter has never done any ballet before but I was really hesitant to enroll her in classes before finding out whether she liked it or not. This is probably the only place I could find that offered a trial class. My daughter LOVED it. I decided to stay and enroll her..the staff are amazing, kind and really patient. I love the fact that you can sit and watch them dance.

Isac Oliveira: My daughter loves her dancing classes! The staff is super friendly, the facilities are great, the teachers are kind, and Show Day is so beautiful and gets everybody so excited! How much the LDC staff loves and cares for what they do really shows.

Candy Tsang: I took my daughter to LDC in August 2022 for a trial pre-school (ballet and tap) class. Parents were not allowed into the studio/dance space so I appreciated that there were cameras in the studio and monitors for parents to wait and watch in the lobby area.#1 - the front desk staff were so kind and gentle to my 3yo daughter in getting her fitted for ballet and tap shoes.#2 - Ms. Emma and Ms. Trisha were wonderful and patient. They both had their magical ways in helping the new dancers get comfortable and listen. I was happy and surprised that my daughter was able to listen and follow along.#3 - Brenna and Prerna were so helpful over text and email to answer all my questions regarding enrollment.I'm excited to have my daughter join LDC and start her journey as a dancer!

julie huang: Our experience with the teachers and staff at the studio has been so amazing. The Landing genuinely cares about the students and it shows through with every interaction we’ve had with them! From fitting of shoes and uniform to classes and performance, they believe in helping the students be their best while being mindful of everyone’s learning styles.My daughter was very shy and hesitant to join the classes in the beginning. The teachers were encouraging but not forceful and I think that really helped her feel safe. We’re excited to continue our dance journey here at The Landing and can’t wait to see what kind of dancer they’ll shape my daughter to be!

E Y: The staff and instructors here are amazing, they are patient and friendly. We've enrolled our 3 year old for ballet and tap lessons and she adores her classmates and instructors. Sign up for a trial class to see for yourself, you will not be disappointed!

J Barnetson: Our favourite dance studio, we’ve tried a lot to find a good fit! The staff are great and the inside is wonderful! We look forward to our upcoming years!

Shannon Copeland: My daughters instructors were sweet - but I pulled my 3 year old child out of the studio after Trisha walked by her and told her out loud she wasn’t wearing her tights properly. I was completely put off by the lack of friendliness and professionalism. Not a good vibe, and not a place I wanted to have my daughter advance in as a dance community. I moved my daughter to Boogaloo and she is taking 3 yearly classes plus event classes and having a really good experience. This is a much friendlier all inclusive studio in the same vicinity with more dance offerings, and a way better vibe. I highly recommend Boogaloo!

Tatiana Parrott: I enrolled my children for trial classes for ballet and hip hop. I initially chose The Landing because it looked professional online and it was one of the only dance schools I could find that had trial classes without having to pay hundreds of dollars for a year (before knowing whether your kids even like it!). This is a smart business idea and I think they will only benefit from this set up. My experience so far has been really good. Everyone is super friendly and supportive and the teachers provide honest feedback about your child's participation in the class and whether that type of dance is a good fit etc. I would definitely recommend The Landing to anyone looking to experiment with dance or continue their dance journey...whatever stage they are at.

Xiong Shaw: We tried the trial class, the teacher was very kind and patient. Can't wait to join the long-term study here.

Brianna Van Riet: My daughter had her first contemporary class at The Landing this week and it was such a great experience. The staff are so sweet and helpful, her instructor was exceptionally warm and welcoming and she absolutely loved it! We’re excited for her to continue her training with such a great group of people.

Letty oey: We had our first trial class last week, my girl enjoyed a lot! The staff/ teachers are nice and the environment is good! I believe my daughter will enjoy the rest of the lessons.

JP Dunford: We had a great first experience at Landing Dance Centre. Teachers are helpful and kind, and the studio is beautiful. The front end staff are also very welcoming and easy to talk to.

Angela Liao: The staff here is wonderful, the facility is beautiful, there's parking on site, and multiple dance studios. My 4yo enjoys her ballet sessions here and we look forward to trying other dance genres here.

The Truth: This place has a high turnover because Brenna is a bully and narcissist. She doesn’t pay her staff on time or at all sometimes. Brenna justifies her bad behaviour by belittling everyone around her. She has been known to tell Asian parents that their kids will never be a great dancer due to genetics. Her inflated ego makes me laugh! It’s like dealing with a grown child having a permanent temper tantrum. Instead, take your kids and your money to a healthy learning environment. There are other really good dance studios nearby.

Solène Prud'homme: Amazing dance school in Vancouver for salsa bachata kizomba! I took kizomba classes with Tracie & Cesar last year and they were just amazing! I learnt a loooot with them and I miss those classes so much. Also took some bachata lady styling classes with Krystal, loved her dancing style, and learning a routine as solo, which helps a lot for confidence on the dance floor. Also they have the best socials in town, with 3 rooms (salsa, bachata, kiz) Looking forward to going back there when I’ll be in Vancouver again 💜

Jessica Villavicencio: I love their classes👏🏾 salsa, bachata and reggaeton🔥 I find all instructors super friendly

Fraser McGee: Welcoming atmosphere with great instructors. Tracie is an awesome teacher- she’s both fun and committed to helping the pupils in her class learn and improve. Very positive experience with this studio

ozan ateşmen: Wowww absolutely fantastic dance studios, they are so talented and Tracie , she is wonderful instructor, I love you ❤️

Reagan Bradley: Karima was everything we needed in a dance teacher for our wedding dance. She customized a dance to our personalities and skill level and made every moment learning it total fun. The end product was gorgeous and everyone’s highlight of the night! Forever thankful for this Bollywood QUEEN!

Wil Iturrino: Excellent dance studio. The staff is wonderful..Always a great time

Brandon Thornhill: The Baza Dance crew are all AWESOME! So inclusive and welcoming to people of all levels. We LOVE our dance classes!

Karen Swaffield: This is a very welcoming and friendly dance studio. The Latin Fusion class is awesome. Salsa lessons with Wayne & Kristal are also a lot of fun.

Two Sheds: Robson free dance had not enough follows so some of us had to watch from the sidelines until we left from humiliation.

Flora Gordon: Baza is a great dance studio. They are very friendly to beginners as well as those who may not be able to come to the studio frequently. I have taken Zouk, Salsa, Latin Grooves, and Latinsanity. I enjoyed them all!

Nat Pliner: I’ve just started classes at Baza Dance with John and Celina and they have been so much fun! The studio has a really positive and safe environment and everyone I’ve interacted with has been incredibly helpful and friendly. I haven’t always felt the same with instructors at other studios so I’m really glad I signed up at Baza. Also appreciate that there is an option to take a bachata class that is not immediately over sensual and that some Dominican bachata moves are sprinkled in!

Stephen Smith: I had such an amazing experience at this dance studio. I've been taking Latin Dance classes for over 15 years, at multitudes of different studios from countless teachers -- so it is not without comparison when I say that the instruction at this studio is world class! Jorelle , Monica, and Kristal were such amazing dancers AND teachers. It's one thing to dance well, but to be able to break steps apart and explain thoroughly, that's another. I had some major breakthroughs with my dancing here! Also, the vibe was extremely welcoming and kind. Much love for Baza Dance Studios!

Shanda L: Love this place for bachata and salsa! Always friendly and inviting. I recommend this place if you want to learn how to dance You will be dancing in no time!

Leanna Boyer: I am thrilled that Baza is offering virtual classes, otherwise I would not have access to high quality, fun instruction!!

Lydia Klemensowicz: I've fallen in love with dance classes again thanks to Baza! I've been attending Latin Pop with Lauren since January and I feel so good in class - I literally look forward to Monday evenings every week! I love the choregraphy style class and Lauren is an amazing, energetic and approachable teacher. Her classes are very beginner friendly, but also a bit of a challenge - and tons of fun and laughs are had along the way!

Karen Lee: I’ve been trying various dance studios for the last few months. Thank Gawd I found Baza! It is a safe and welcoming environment, especially for beginners.Jojo and Clement give me life!

Rebeca Hatamian: We love Baza Dance Studios!!My son is 5 yrs old and is very entusiastic about going to dance class!His confidence has improve and his joy of life overall.. priceless!Now is learning to follow instructions and follow a choreography :)

Ala Wroblewska: Taking a beginner level class and I'm really enjoying the format and vibe. Can't recommend the instructors and class enough!

Suzanne Rushton: I love Baza!! I've been only three times so far but the classes have all been a delightful blend of fun, learning and community. The instructors, Javier and Carla, are AMAZING. I can't say enough about how great they are with beginners (like me) but also at working with varying levels of students. They are true professionals, they kept us on track but also kept us laughing. They have really made dancing seem accessible to me. I'm excited to continue the journey!

Arash Khodadadi: Well-maintained dance studio and friendly staff. Enjoyed the beginner Salsa dance class with John as drop-ins. Later we signed up for more classes with Arely and the classes were super good and strongly recommended for whoever starts Salsa.

Steven Joe: A really exceptional learning experience. I went in with almost no formal dance training and they took great care of me, listening to what my goals were and developing a plan that got me working toward those goals in a fun and happy environment. Thank you VS Dance Club for the fantastic lessons!

Jessica Chan: Sarah and Vlad are a pleasure to work with!Sarah really focuses on technique and precision, but takes your wishes into account when choreographing a dance. Vlad is extremely friendly and fun-loving. When they perform a routine together, it is literally GOALS!

Jeremy Carpendale: We have been taking lessons, usually as a couple, with Sarah for over 3 years. She is a brilliant teacher! Of her many talents, one that we particularly appreciate is that she is amazing at spotting problems in our dancing and breaking down the movements to fix them. The way Sarah helps polish our steps makes us feel so much more comfortable and confident—which then makes our dancing more fun! We anticipate our weekly dance lessons as a highlight in a busy week and are always shocked (and dismayed) that the lesson goes so fast!We also take group lessons from Vlad and he too is superb at breaking dances down and putting them back together in a way that makes is possible to feel great improvement after each lesson!We highly recommend VS Dance!

Jorden Hutchison: We can't say enough good things about VS Dance Club. With zero dance experience, my (now) husband and I weren’t looking forward to the first dance at our upcoming wedding. We had heard great things about Sarah, and reached out to see if she could help us - and we are so glad we did! Sarah provided us with private classes that we found to be engaging, practical and fun. She has an excellent ability to read her students and assess their individual style and comfort level, and gave us a beautiful - yet not too complicated - routine that really spoke to who we are. Come our wedding day, our dance was such a memorable moment and - although we had a couple of nerves - we truly enjoyed it, and our song will forever be so special to us. We highly recommend them!

Simone Luise Marshall-Nicolussi: Hi Sarah,It’s a while that I intended to write a few words to express my deep gratitude for your sensitive teaching and coaching that you’re so skillfully providing during all your classes within the Women’s Dance Group.Since the first day I started to be your student I was enthralled, mesmerized and filled with pure happiness. You were able to give me something that I thought was ‘lost’ - to be a woman with all its beauty and mystery.They say dancing is releasing your ‘happy’ hormones. Indeed I can witness this wholeheartedly. Once I hit the dance floor there is no importance of my looks nor the perfect style it’s the dance/choreography - all these steps and moves in the right rhythm to the music that takes over.Thank you from the bottom of my heart to share your wonderful gift with all of us.Simone

Gemma Hebron: I have been part of Sarah's women's formation class and continue to be a part of it. In Sarah's class you are able to dance and work on a routine in a fun and challenging atmosphere. Challenging in ways where you will discover and learn how to tap into your expressive and artistic inner self! Sarah is the best teacher and choreographer. She puts a lot of effort in each routine and encourages camaraderie in her team. Not only do you benefit from having a good workout, you also become part of a great group of women having a great time together!

Jennifer Löwe: Vlad and Sarah are inspiring, professional, and really care about their students. They believe in dance and the benefits it brings, including bringing people together and building confidence. Vlad and Sarah are truly special and genuine, highly recommended.

terresa tetar: You need to try them out, they have incredible Instructors with amazing work ethic ready to give you the most exciting and rewarding experiences of your life in the world of Ballroom Dancing Sarah and Vlad have combined over 25 years of experience! Locally, Nationally and Internationally!!!

Luisa O'Halloran: The Tinseltown experience was very fun!

John Sheard: Alpen Club men's choir and Austrian Club Choir performed a wonderful concert. Last concert before Alpen Club is demolished in January.

Christopher Crane: Vancouver Deutsche Club. A Vancouver landmark.Last German choir performance.Great history here!Looking forward to seeing the new version in a few years time!Cheers to the old club!🍻🇩🇪

Diana von Kalnassy: Went for the oktoberfest. Was amazing..the place to go. Great atmosphere, best choice of music, very entertaining. Can't wait to go back when they reopen.

Nicolas Martinez: Was glad to attend their last Oktoberfest before they close for a major renovation, with plenty of traditional German songs and dances.

Brad Strom: We did the potion putt here. It was disappointing to say the least. Two out of nine holes were down. There’s no start or finish to the course creating chaos. And the drinks were nothing but beer. Lame to say the least. We won’t be back

Brian Kim: The place used to be a restaurant, but as of 2022 Summer, it mainly hosts various pop-up events.

Kevin Arkins: Great fun for the whole gang

Joe W.: GO AT YOUR OWN RISK. We arrived at the venue tonight and were dumbfounded when the staff informed us that the Alice show was cancelled without any notification. it's a huge disappointing and frustrating experience. They failed to deliver the service we paid for, and cost us time, effort, and inconvenience. If we cannot get a refund we'll file a report for scam.

David Aguilar: The wizard mini golf was really bad. They were pushing us to get out and it lasted 15min or less. Do not waste your money

Celeste Miles: Went to the Alice experience what a great show the people who put the show on Great performance 👏 👍🏼 was very funny and the cocktails were good 👍🏼 😄 fun experience

Sandra Montes de Oca: Súper padre la ambientación del lugar! Los personajes súper entretenidos y amables!

Noah O: Good food, if you want Schnitzel try here.Part of it is being rented as an experience bar/show. That is cool. Nice space overall. Good location, parking on site.

Annie Nelson: Went for the Alice cocktail experience. Had a blast, highly suggest if you're open minded

Robert M: Great food

Sl S: It was my first time eating German food and everything was delicious. Plus they serve a large portion of food.

Mike Buckley: Best schnitzel and spätzle anywhere, plus the finest German beer and desserts.

Chris Strube: Not worth the drive. I had expectations of German comfort food, and was disappointed. On entry to the restaurant, a musty smell greeted us. The greeting was curt but professional. We were seated in the farthest corner, and had trouble attracting the attention of the waitress. My order was a disaster. Jaegerschnitzel was cooked properly, but the Jaeger sauce came in a small ramekin, not enough for the cutlets. The sauerkraut was tasteless, and the red cabbage even worse. When the waitress finally came back, her answer to the lack of sauce was "why didn't you ask for more"...most unprofessional. My wife had the Haxen, which was over salted, and tasted more like ham than pork hocks. We'll try elsewhere for German food next time.

Cindy Rabb: European festival was fun

Wayne T: Food is good for the price and the German beer selection is great.

mike S: No regard for the people who live in the buildings surrounding this studio. Many people have reached out to have the music turned down, and yet she refuses to be considerate or mindful of the community her building surrounds. Would not recommend supporting a business who can’t work cohesively with its community.

Tanya: I like visiting this place! Dance teachers, visitors and cozy ambience perk me up! I’ve managed to try different dance directions and different approaches to teaching. It’s very valued experience for me!

Indraja Mostaviciute: Welcoming atmosphere! Amazing instructors and friendly community. Definitely recommend to everyone!

Kumar Praveen: I absolutely love this dance studio! The instructors are knowledgeable, passionate, and make classes fun for all levels.

Rene Khazaee: I recently had the pleasure of taking classes at iDance and I have to say, I was thoroughly impressed. The studio's commitment to diversity is evident, from the range of dance styles they offer to the diversity of their instructors and dancers.One thing that really stood out to me was the fact that they have BIPOC immigrants instructors which is something that is unfortunately not always common in other spaces in Vancouver. It was really refreshing to see such a diverse group of people coming together to share their love of dance.Overall, I would highly recommend iDance to anyone looking for a welcoming and inclusive dance studio. They embrace diversity and provide a space where everyone can come together to learn and grow as dancers.

shannon elmitt: SOOO FUN BEST PLACE TO DANCE! I love idance it’s such a great and welcoming space. As a newbie to dance Leo + Gios classes have been incredible :)

Giorgia Ricciardi: Coming to this studio as someone with no dancing background but who was so keen (and so shy) to start was the best decision. It is warm, welcoming, encouraging, and safe! A variety of fun classes that make it hard to choose from, too! I love it here.

Denise Blanch: Love this place! Best instructors, great environment and the friendliest staff ❤️❤️❤️

Anh Tang: Amazing teachers, variation in genres, diversity, and overall vibe. Highly recommend for adult learners who are new to dancing. Don't get scared by the levels they offer. Lots of folks who are new to dance doing intermediate classes and are very comfortable in their own skins doing so, unlike many other professional studios.

Michael Mwanzia-Leff: A beautiful community orientated and affordable dance studio. It has now become my favourite place in Vancouver :)

Zandrew Claveria: As someone who danced readily 10 years ago, there was a lot of pride to get back into it. I started coming more frequently a month ago and got the best value out of the introductory unlimited month.Like other reviews, I can say this is a community focussed studio that is very inclusive of the many types of dancers that are out there. Each teacher I’ve found concisely debriefs the class, breaks down the moves and is available for any questions. There is camaraderie amongst the students and I have created new friendships. Each person wanting the best for themselves and others.It has helped me break out of mould of keeping regimented, rigid and feeling formatted from past dance experiences. Each class promotes that sense of critical thinking and understanding of what feels good for your body. I highly recommend taking several classes as a new student or beginner, as there are many ice breakers to meet others in class.A great first class to take is Stu’s open level grooving class on Fridays. He has the ability to connect with the class as a whole all at once, to bring out the best in everyone. Also recommend Jesse if you want to learn foundational hip hop dances like popping. If you want to be challenged, I enjoy taking Kiara, Leo, Chris or Kyle’s classes as well. Lisa has a great yoga class on Saturdays that is fun and energetic but also restorative.Thank you iDance for revitalizing this love for dance and keep up the great work.

Olivia Boehmer: Had an amazing time doing a class here for a group event! Our instructor was so kind, helpful and fun and the studio was great. Highly recommend!

Anushka Kashyap: Love idance! Amazing instructors and environment!

Angel P.: Ashleigh's fats only dance class was amazing!!! I'll be coming back for sure. Thank you for having such a class.

Blake A: PLEASE STAY AWAY. Please refrain from supporting the nasty owner of iDance Studios Mount Pleasant , who under a fake facade of friendliness advocating for community and inclusivity has zero empathy for the atrocious unliveable environment she and her inconsiderate instructors have created for the community right behind the studio.The extremely loud noise emanating from the back studio spills out into the quiet courtyard late into the night every single day.After copious pleas to lower their music/shouting; they feel completely entitled to brazenly continue ruining the peace and quiet of families in the neighborhood.If you have an ounce of compassion and common sense please DO NOT SUPPORT this disgusting business.Amanda‘s level of audacity is despicable. As someone guilty often does—she prevaricates and falsely preaches about “respect and kindness” to unsuspecting customers.Meanwhile, she is intentionally wreaking havoc one lives of dozens of neighbours like a true hypocrite.

Jordan Halligan: I live in the building facing the dance studio and the noise is horrendous, we have tried to communicate to the owner about this on multiple occasions but have been met with rudeness everytime. She has zero regard for anyone living in the surrounding area. she preaches about how community driven she is but Cleary does not care about the community at all. If I could give less than one star I would

Liss Petrelli: The class was good and the teacher Clarisse was so kind and patient. It was my first class. They give you a nice welcome.

Celine Pio Roda: What a safe space for learning dance, I felt such belonging here and met a bunch of wonderful people even though I’m new to the community. Out of all the dance studios I’ve been to, the reception/front desk here is by far the friendliest!!

Linda H: I have been coming here on and off for about two years now. The owner, teachers, fellow dancers, and front desk staff are very kind. Great customer service and accommodating to students of all levels. Not intimidating at all.I would recommend iDance to anyone looking for a good workout, looking to improve body confidence, or just a great community to be a part of.

Fernanda Mattos: Inclusive, fun and amazing teachers!
