    Wedding dance and beyond

    I approached my wedding dance lessons with trepidation, but it has been such an amazing journey so far! Gil is an excellent dance teacher - he is able to explain moves and concepts in very relatable ways. I went from having never danced in my life, to dancing a choreographed 4 minute song, in just 6 weeks! Shout out to Peri for being an awesome communicator - my emails are always answered swiftly and correctly. Overall, I loved my experience and will be coming back for more lessons after my wedding.

    Thinking of dance lessons for your big day? DO IT!

    To all the newly engaged couples out there, having a few dance lessons to prepare for your first dance is a MUST. The instructors at Access Ballroom are so great. Not only did they help my fiancé and I with our dance steps, they were very welcoming and patient. It was definitely worth every penny, can’t wait to show our wedding guests our dance moves.

    Dancing with Sunshine

    Igor, the amazing dance instructor, has been very patient with both me and my fiance, and has managed to craft a wonderful wedding dance routine to our favorite song. He obviously has put thought into each action, tries it before, and is not afraid to adapt if one of us cannot bend the way we need to! The staff has been respectful and polite, and the atmosphere is just so electric each time we go, we are excited each time, even in the group dances!

    Access Ballroom Dance School's reply:

    Thanks so much for your positive feedback, Tamer! It is always our pleasure teaching you guys. Thank you for choosing us to choreograph your wedding dance and help you make your special day more memorable.

    Fun and challenging dance studio!

    My fiancee and I have been taking lessons at Access Ballroom for about four months, and we've already learned so much in a short time. They have a huge variety of group lessons available for all different styles, and the private lessons are great for refining your technique. We've also been working with Gil on a wedding routine and he makes the process really fun while still challenging!

    Worth every penny!

    We worked with Elsa and she has been absolutely amazing! My mother-in-law gifted us dance lessons and neither of us being overly coordinated, it was something that made us both a bit nervous. Elsa and Access Ballroom have been so wonderful to work with - we have had a great time with them and have some great new moves for our wedding day!

    Access Ballroom Dance School's reply:

    Hi Jessica,
    We are so glad you had a good experience with us, and gave us the opportunity to help you feel confident for your wedding day. We wish you the best on your new journey together

    Professional dance studio who will help even the most hopeless, left-footed bride and groom

    I took dance lessons at Access Ballroom with my (new) husband and dad. I did 7 for the first dance with my hubby, and 4 with my dad. Gyl taught both of us and was absolutely incredible. The studio staff are respond quickly, answer all your questions, and work with you to make your dance a dream come true. There were several other clients there for other reasons, but weddings are clearly something they are experienced in. My husband is NOT a dancer by any means and has a lot of trouble with rhythm and musicality. While he was a little discouraged after the first lesson, he and I got SO much better and by the end we had a routine that even had two lifts/spins. On the big day, I had some trouble getting around because of my giant dress and was worried that he wouldn't be able to pull it off, but he absolutely did and our guests LOVED it. For the father-daughter dance, we only did 4 lessons and we couldn't learn a full routine. However, he taught my dad basic and flashier moves and how to lead, which I think is a much more helpful skill than just memorizing a routine. It meant that my dad and I were more relaxed because we went with the flow, and we had such a great time. Their prices were a little bit higher than some other studios we had looked at in the GTA (but outside downtown Toronto), but it was 100% worth it for their expertise, the fun we had, and the convenience of the location for us. We HIGHLY recommend Access Ballroom and I am now trying to convince my new husband to take advantage of the free month of group dance lessons we got after!

    Really friendly instructors and fun lessons

    Me and my fiancé have really enjoyed dance lessons at Access Ballroom. We started dance lessons in anticipation of our upcoming wedding. The teachers are friendly and very patient. We were complete beginners standing on each other toes at the beginning and we’ve had lots of fun exploring different dance styles and are looking forward to showing our friends and families our new moves on the dance floor at our upcoming wedding!

    Access Ballroom Dance School's reply:

    Thank you so much, Claire! You guys have come a long way and we are proud of all the practice you've put in and all your progress! Looking forward to seeing your wedding dance video!

I have over 20 years of dancing and teaching experience. At a very young age, I've learned that I had an affinity to teach and help people grow. If I teach you for long enough, I will “coach” you into believing in yourself and knowing you can achieve anything. I look forward to sharing my passion for Latin and Ballroom dancing with all of you.

Dancing has been part of my life for over 10 years. I've had the pleasure to teach at various dance schools in Canada and Russia for more than 7 years. Started off as a hip hop dancer, I then discovered a passion for Latin/Ballroom and pole dance styles. What I love the most about teaching is helping my students grow, gain confidence and express themselves through dance.
