BC Dance

I have been going to BC Dance in various capacities for the past 2 years, as a student, an assistant, and to attend special events.I generally enjoyed the classes I took there. I would often see Nestor (the manager, who also teaches there) go out of his way to keep the space clean or fix an amenity. He also constantly strives to renovate the studio for various purposes, which offer variety to renters (exercising, boxing, dancing, massages, and even chess). Every time I go, I would find Nestor either working on a new project or thinking about additions to make the studio more versatile, welcoming, and efficient.When I assisted him in teaching salsa classes, we would talk about how to make the best out of the time allocated, so that people leave fulfilled. He takes feedback seriously, and is genuinely concerned about the students' experience. He would often go overtime because he cared more about transferring as much knowledge as possible than keeping track of time :)The studio is easily accessible (a few blocks away from the Canada Line in Yaletown Station) and nicely situated so you can go for drinks or food with your classmates after class.

Nestor is an amazing dance teacher and he has a special talent for teaching beginners. My fiancé went from zero dance experience to assisting with the beginner class that we used to attend, within half a year. If you want a great class environment, with a knowledgeable, patient, and fun teacher, sign up for Nestor's salsa classes - beginner or intermediate. You won't regret it.

I had the same experience as other people who reviewed here. I emailed Nestor multiple times and said I had a Groupon and no response. I called him he said he emailed (obviously didn't) and that he would email me back again, which he never did.My partner contacted him without saying Groupon and of course he got back within two days.This guy is a sleezebag, do yourself your a favour save the headache, and don't buy lessons from this guy he's a scammer.

I had a very bad experience with Nestor from BC Dance. I bought 10 passes for my friend and I for Salsa classes and when I emailed him, he never responded.I then called him, and he was angry I bought the passes, and told me I have to wait spots to be available. AND said he was working and can NOT talk to me. So rude! Zero customer service.I have followed up 2 times by email with no response! Do not go to this place.

The are stealing your money. I registered for bachata classes and paid 3 months ago , but they never offered me any classes and kept bringing excuses that we don’t have any class right now. If you didn’t offer any class, why did you allow me to enrol and charge me???

I love this place - the zumba instructors are fantastic, super high energy and the classes are really fun. Done zumba in lots of places and the instructors here are my favorite of everywhere so far. It's a no-frills place but the groupon is a great deal and you get a great workout with nice people.

It is a wonderful dance studio.Neha is a great instructor..Love the energy in class. Perfect for beginners to advanced.
