Dance Studio

Strictly dance has given me strength, friendship and love! Inviting attmesphere, friends, awesome staff and a wide variety of classes for everyone! They are truely amazing!!!!!

Ashley and Kelly are truly great ladies with a fantastic studio. Solid technique and wonderful lessons for life

It’s now been 6 months that I’ve been doing pole at Pole Place Guelph and I couldn’t be happier! The instructor, Victoria, is incredible- talented, knowledgeable, supportive, and empowering. The moves we have learned have been fun and varied and I have noticed a dramatic change in my moods, and body composition because it’s an excellent workout- but so fun you don’t realize how much you are working out (my kind of exercise lol). The people are great, classes are small and welcoming for any body, any gender. I have made friends for life! Highly highly recommend.

The best zumba class I had after three years looking for a good one. Lots of fun, great instructors and nice atmosphere. Love it!

Owen was a big help. Great family atmosphere, great people!

Our daughter LOVES The Dance Shoppe - I'm sure you will too. We have been going there for 5 years now and have only the best things to say about the owners and staff. They are friendly and professional and have the best programs and prices and payment options. They have it all from recreational to competitive to formal ballet programs, and more ... all easy to enroll in person or on-line. The facilities are very impressive with 5 large studios, wide hallways, benches, viewing windows, video displays, kitchenette, sitting area, and plenty of parking.

A one star-review of a local business needs an explanation, so here it is: I signed my 3-year old up for 'Pre-ballet' classes at Dance Elite in Milton. This was her first dance class and our first time with a child in dance. After paying the initial registration fee, and buying her dance clothes we thought we were ready to start. That's where our dismay began. After the first few lessons, we learned that there's a costume for a recital that needs to be purchased. Also, later on they tell us there will be tickets to this recital that are $30 each and even our 1 year-old requires a ticket. There will be pictures (for purchase of course) and no pictures or video allowed at the recital. So what begins as a $200 expense, is now well over $400! Classes are 30 minutes long and are 'taught' by a teacher and two 14 year-old (roughly) assistants. The 14 year-olds simply show the kids what to do, but don't actually correct them if they want to spin in circles or sit on the ground all class. Very little 'teaching' actually happens. Beyond the quality of instruction, obviously my overall issue is the excessive 'money grab' that the costume, recital, pictures, etc are. It's obvious that there is a significant mark-up, and significant undisclosed costs that should be communicated to parents ahead of time. If swimming lessons were $200 to sign up.. and "oh by the way.. it'll be $200 more dollars" when you show up at the pool... the Town would get an earful.. and thus this is my earful to Dance Elite...be transparent, stop piling on costs that are obviously outrageous (30$ for a recital ticket.. it costs less for world-famous bands at the Molson Amphitheatre) Parents Beware!!

I've been going to the studio for about a year and a half now and I have learned a lot from Michelle. She was perfect for me as an absolute beginner dancer. Now I'm a better dancer and people say I look great and have come a long way. I give Michelle a lot of credit for that. She will make you look great at your wedding or in a social dance environment. If you like to be pushed, she is strong on technique and footwork and will get you to practice over and over again (personally I find this quite meditative and it works for me). The classes are a lot of fun, we mess up a lot, and we have a good laugh.

My boys don't dance or skip but, like every child, they need their exercise! So I enrolled them in the GOTC (Get off the Couch) stretch class. They're not always in a good mood when they head out of the house but they always come home happy, laughing and playing! Shelby, their teacher, is amazing!

Latin and ballroom dance studio. Private and group lessons, plus practice party every other Friday. Jean Guy et al make this a friendly and enjoyable place to develop ones dance skills.

My daughter's been going here for a year now and loves it. They do well to balance progress and fun, and really support the students. She has learned and improved so much!
