Dance Studio

If you want proper dance training this is the place, their students go on to so professional work

We had Afrolatino Dance Co. for our wedding to perform salsa and samba shows. We had a blast and our guests absolutely loved it! Prior to the wedding Albena went through all the details and synced with our DJ to ensure everything ran smoothly that day. They performed such amazing salsa and samba songs and made sure everyone got up off their seats and dance. Try to book them in advance (3-4 weeks).

Its ok

Charb Arts was recommended to me by a fellow Mom my girls went to school with, and for 2 years we participated in various dance groups, music classes, the arts, PA Day camps.. This place is the holy grail for artistic and theatrical children. My girls loved everything they participated in, the teachers are beyond talented, patient and kind. Each year there was a HUGE recital for all the students and showcased their hard work from the year. I was in awe of how much effort, organization, and love everyone poured into the production. I would recommend Charb Arts to anyone who was looking for a fun program for their child. They have so many options for all age groups. Incredible work ladies, keep it up!!!

My daughter has been dancing with them since 5 and she is 17 now and still loving it. Ani is an amazing teacher and very professional.

Rythmic Rainbow is a beautiful studio, spacious yet with an intimate feel. The owner is lovely and so are the teachers and the people you get to meet in the various body-mind Classes. When I first attended a class at the studio I found myself lingering.... didn't want to leave the place. So the next day I called the owner of the studio and asked to join her team and teach at the studio. I'm so fortunate to now have more opportunities to spend time in her lovely and inspiring studio.

A while back I had joined their singing and dancing classes. The studio was very clean, and we were told to run laps around the studio, practice a runway walk, and do singing exercises. At that time, the students in that class were also currently also working on a performance, and after warm-up, the teachers had got us started. Since I was just a trying-out student, I didn't know what the lyrics of the song we sang nor did I know how to do the dance. They handed everyone a short sheet of lyrics, and it was very hard for me to memorize them since I had only just joined them. And then we went straight to dancing. I had also had no idea how to do the dance and had a hard time following. I felt very left out and we had to practice perform in front of some early students of the next class as well. Not only did I have such a hard time, but it was also very embarrassing. I'd hoped the teacher had at least assisted me or kept me out of the practice performance. It seemed a lot like they were expecting me to pick up on everything fast, in which I didn't. But the teachers overall were pretty good. The dance teacher didn't really have much casual convo or interacted a lot with the students. But the singing teacher was very nice and friendly.

BEST PLACE ON EARTH!!!

In dealing with the RAD in Toronto, over the phone, I have found the customer service to be excellent! Very warm, friendly and helpful.

I am in my late 60’s; a father who wanted to dance with his daughter at her wedding without doing the embarrassing middle-school shuffle. On a friend’s recommendation I signed on with John Howardson for five lessons to present a dance that would “impress the guests”. To add to the problems of age and incoordination, my daughter lived in Ottawa and could only make the final two lessons; the first three were on me alone with John. John took my music selection, assessed my readiness, choreographed a routine, and then, with patience, walked me, then led me, then danced me through a routine, starting with the basic box step, and then adding grapevines, New Yorks, turns and twirls. He taught me about weighting my footwork, communicating with my partner and, most importantly, taking the lead. When my daughter came down (who is young and coordinated) he had us fully synchronized in the two remaining lessons. The dance far exceeded my expectations. I am entering the wedding with flair and confidence. I recommend John Howardson without hesitation or reservation for all ages, backgrounds, situations, and levels of ability.
