Toronto Dance Salsa

I would highly recommend TDS to any dancer, new or seasoned.I started with Level 1 Salsa a few months ago and now I’m in Level 3. The instructors have been phenomenal. They are supportive, caring, and really give 110% each class.The studio is clean and well ventilated. At the start of each class, the instructors do a COVID checkin with every student. I feel safe and well taken care of when I go to TDS.I’ve loved my time with TDS and hoping to keep working on my Salsa technique all the way to Level 6, and then start Bachata classes. My favourite part about TDS is the owner, Aleks. His energy is contagious and he make every student feel like a star.Whether you’re new to Latin dance or a veteran, I would highly recommend TDS!

TDS is such a warm, supportive, and safe dance community! As a beginner to salsa and bachata, this was very important to me. I like how the classes are structured and the instructors and helpers are attentive and friendly! The TDS socials are a great way to practice social dancing. I can’t say enough good things about this studio - highly recommend!

The studio's perfect and gleaming dance floor is immediately inviting. A big Family" sign on the wall further invites group pictures. The far wall is pure mirror so we can see ourselves (for better or worse lol).Aleks and Shelley had an unbelievable amount of energy and were in their element when leading the class. Our one night beginner event started with name tags. Our names and the name of one person who showed us kindness when our attitudes were bad. (More on that later.) They took us from nothing to one impressive dance move over an hour and fifteen minutes and before we knew it the class had ending with us dancing with all self-consciousness lost. Aleks took a moment to explain a recent experience where he ran into someone not having a great day and taking it out on those nearby

I had a great time with Toronto Dance Salsa. Aleks is a amazing teacher. He make everything easier and funny. And his crew is very helpful. I enjoyed friendly and relaxed atmosphere in the class. The price is affordable too. So everything is just prrferct. I have no doubt to recommend it everyone.

I recently just finished Level One Salsa and within the 6 week duration I went from having two left feet to getting really comfortable with the fundamentals! I want to give a shoutout to Shelley for being an amazing instructor as well as to the awesome volunteers Eric, Laavanya, and Pat for their help in guiding us when it came to practicing what we learned. I really appreciate how caring they were and how much they invested in their students. All of their enthusiam, patience, and and kindness have made a huge impact on my experience learning Salsa for the first time and this really boosted my confidence after learning something that I personally never thought I could learn. If you are currently interested in learning Salsa and are on the fence about where you should learn, I can promise that if you join TDS you will have selected a nurturing environment where you can experience so much growth :) I will be taking Level 2 Salsa with Aleks soon, and I am looking forward to what I see as the next step in an exciting journey!

Well, I chose TDS from its 5 star reviews. Many friends suggested me other well known studios but I was looking for an instructor to teach me dancing for the joy, not being perfect or professional dancer. I got exactly what I expected. As an absolute beginner, after one session I felt it’s a group of friends dancing with, not total strangers. The classes are friendly, fun, energetic and productive (of course if you do your part and practice). The salsa and bachata sessions and social dance events are now part of my fun, relaxing time after busy, crazy working days. Thank you Aleks and TDS team for your great efforts.

Aleks and his team are so warm and inviting. Aleks is so personable and entertaining, he is a joy to learn from. Darlene and I always feel welcome. Aleks is singlehandedly turning this two left foot guy into a bachata pro. Aleks always has great tips to help any level dancer improve. I am happy to call Toronto Dance Salsa our home for future lessons.

BIG thank you for being an awesome salsa teacher Aleks! You rock! Your energy, passion, and knack for breaking down those tricky steps make every class a blast. Salsa has become my happy place, and I owe it all to you! So grateful for the fun community you've created and the friendships we've formed. You're making a huge difference, and I can't thank you enough!Keep spreading those salsa vibes!!

This is the first time I attended a dance class by my son's invite. The location is at a 2nd floor of a 4 floor building that has a theater on top floor and grocery at the bottom floor. A pet store near to this. Many people walking around yet not busy in a weekday early evening.This session is just a teaching plus social. The coach Alek is soEnergetic, friendly. He greets everyone, ask about everybody. Then he taught the entire 75 minutes (he talked none stop) in such informative, clear, kindly and objective way to the gathering of (I think) 75 people! As an instructor myself I find that extremely hard to sustain all the energy. His assistant, Shelly was so graceful in dancing with him and very instructive in her moves. She gives me hope on my two-left-feet.We had a great time.The price is inexpensive for today's standard. I would totally reccomend it for a class or just one time thing, or just to meet all the ovely people who atten there.
