Wedding Dance Choreography & Shows

Ballroom & Latin Dancing and Wedding Dance Choreography

At Dance Art we teach Ballroom dancing for all ages. Dance Art is situated at the border of Richmond Hill and Markham in the Greater Toronto Area, just north of North York. We also schedule seasonal classes in North York and Scarborough. Our alternate location is 15 Wallingford Rd., Scarborough, currently operating on Wednesday evenings. In addition to teaching ballroom and latin dancing, we also organize ballroom/latin dance outings/events several times a year (usually in Markham or Richmond Hill/Thornhill) and ballroom/latin dance practices

Ballroom dancing is becoming more and more popular lately, and many have realized that it's an essential, lifelong skill. We make sure that our students are able to recognize all the dances and enjoy the rhythm of every dance they study, whether Latin (such as Cha-Cha, Rumba, Jive, Salsa, Paso Doble, Samba or others) or Standard Ballroom (such as Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot, Quickstep and Viennese Waltz).

Dance Art Studio was founded in 1999 with the goal of promoting and encouraging Ballroom and Latin Dancing, and to bring the joy and exhilaration of DanceSport into people's lives. We offer Private, Semi-Private and Group Lessons with professional instructors in Standard Ballroom and Latin, including Cha-Cha, Samba, Jive, Rumba, Paso Doble, Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot, Quickstep, Viennese Waltz, and popular Nightclub Dances, such as Salsa, Meringue and Hustle. Preparing for your wedding? Let us help you make your first dance something to remember with our Wedding Dance Choreography classes.

Ballroom dancing encompasses both traditional dances, such as the Waltz, Tango and Quickstep - the "Standard" category - and latin dances, including Cha-Cha, Samba and Jive, which make up the "Latin" category. On a higher level, however, Ballroom branches into two distinct styles - International, consisting of International Standard and International Latin, and American, consisting of American Smooth and American Rhythm. American Style is more prominent on the North American continent, but virtually unknown throughout Europe and the rest of the world - for this reason, we encourage our students to start with International Style - that way, they can apply their knowledge across the globe!

At Dance Art, however, we teach more than just ballroom dancing - we also teach popular nightclub dances, such as Salsa, Mambo, Meringue, Bachata, Hustle, and some of the more exotic variants of dancing, such as LeRoc/CeRoc, Swing, and many others! We're always happy to work with our students, so all you need do is ask.
