Claudia Sent on 22/08/2026Fun Learning Experience!
My fiancé and I decided to do a Cha Cha for our first dance, which was a pretty ambitious choice considering we both started with basically zero ballroom dance experience
Gil has been so patient with us, teaching us the basics and somehow turning our very beginner moves into an actual wedding dance routine! Every lesson has been fun and encouraging, and we’ve gone from wondering how we were ever going to pull this off to actually feeling excited and confident to dance in front of all our family and friends.
Huge thank you to Gil and Anna for all the patience, encouragement, laughs, and for making this such a fun part of our wedding experience. We can’t wait to show off what we’ve learned on the big day! -

Clarence Sent on 22/08/2026We Actually Learned a Full Wedding Dance!
We came to Access Ballroom hoping to feel a little less awkward during our first dance, and somehow we’re leaving with a full Cha Cha wedding routine!
I had little to no dance experience before starting, so the idea of learning an actual choreographed routine felt pretty intimidating. Gil has been an amazing instructor throughout the entire process. He’s patient, encouraging, and really good at explaining movements in a way that makes sense to someone who has never danced before.
What we especially appreciated was that the choreography never felt like it was being forced on us. Gil worked with our abilities and gradually built up the routine as we became more comfortable and confident.
Wedding planning can be stressful, but our dance lessons have actually become one of the parts we look forward to. We still can’t believe we’re going to be performing a full routine at our wedding!
Highly recommend Access Ballroom and Gil to any couple who wants something more memorable than the classic first-dance sway. -

We wanted to take dance lessons to wow our guests during our first dance so we decided to go with Access Ballroom. Gil asked us what we were envisioning for our first dance and ended up helping us make it come to life. We wanted to do a mix of a slower dance to a faster one, so based on the music we selected, we ended up learning the Viennese Waltz and Swing.
With Gil's patience, talent, and constructive criticism, he was able to teach us how to perform these 2 dances by demonstration, with use of props, and clips of ourselves to refer to, when we practiced in between sessions. The studio is available for you to practice in between sessions and we were sure to use it. Both Anna and Gil were very welcoming and encouraging during our journey. Thank you!! -

Jessica Sent on 12/08/2026Definitely Recommend
Gil and Anna are so nice and professional. It’s really nice learning with them because they love what they’re doing! Gil was our instructor, very knowledgeable and doesn’t make you feel uncomfortable for not knowing anything about dancing. The classes have become a date night for us as a bonus! My fiance and I were both reluctant to try dance classes and only wish we came sooner!! Definitely recommend Access Ballroom and will be returning ourselves for group classes after the wedding! -

Victoria Sent on 10/08/2026Great Dance Lessons
I found Access Ballroom at the Toronto Bridal show and told my fiancé that I would love to ballroom dance at our wedding. We signed up for private lessons with Anna and she suggested that the Rumba style would be best for our song. At first it we were nervous but Anna help choreograph steps that we were comfortable with. We are so excited to perform this dance on our wedding day. If your looking to do something more then just swaying on your dance wedding Access Ballroom is the place to go for lessons. -

Jillian Sent on 01/08/2026Recommend Private Lesson with Gil!
If you’re thinking about wedding dance lessons, definitely go see Gil! My fiancé and I had never danced before, but he made learning the Viennese Waltz way less intimidating than we expected. He explained everything really well and gave us great pointers that made the dance feel smooth and natural. We left every lesson feeling more confident, and now we’re actually excited for our first dance. -

Anna at Access Ballroom was absolutely amazing to work with! She helped us create the perfect first dance for our wedding, making the entire process fun, stress-free, and enjoyable. She took the time to make sure we felt comfortable and confident, and added creative, fun tricks to our routine that made it feel so special and unique.
Thanks to Anna’s patience, encouragement, and expertise, everything came together seamlessly on our wedding day. We received so many compliments on our first dance, and we couldn’t have done it without her. We highly recommend Anna and Access Ballroom to any couple looking to create an unforgettable first dance. Thank you for helping make such a special moment more memorable!
