about studios1.ca

Check out our latest Course Calendar. Now celebrating 28 years of classes we continue to share our love of dance — which we believe is a celebration of joy — through our Swing Dance and Latin Dance Courses in beautiful New Westminster and Vancouver, as well as Burnaby, Surrey, and Coquitlam, BC.

Known for our engaging and comprehensive approach to teaching, we have had so much fun sharing our passion of dance with literally tens of thousands of students, children to seniors, across Canada - we can't wait to share it with you! All the dance and fitness pictures here are us or our students, all the things we say here and in class are our words as we value integrity and authenticity while we develop a kinship with our devoted students regardless of their skill level or the mythical two-left-feet syndrome. Frankly, you join our courses to have fun, so enough chatting come dance with us!

studios1.ca was Initially created as an information centre for all the Swing, Latin, Social Ballroom, Creative & Artistic Dance Instructions and of course Tap Dance Courses & Workshop details offered by Canadian choreographer Gabreïl Spiegelschrift. Classes have expanded and contracted with a changing groupd of dance and fitness faculty which has included leading dance, pilates and yoga instructors and associate artisans over the years as it has migrated to various cities and abroad, including Montréal, Guelph, Hamilton and Toronto.

NOTE: As a reminder we no longer manage regular scheduled classes in Montréal, Toronto, Hamilton, or Guelph.
