Our Montreal and Brossard studios will be closed on Monday, September 1st, for Labor Day. See schedule.
If you’ve already taken classes, you may not need to start at the Intro level. We offer free level evaluations at both Montreal and Brossard studios to make sure you’re placed in the right class for your experience.
Yes! You can join up to the 2nd week of our 5-week session if you are a total beginner. If you have experience, you can join at any time. Our classes run year-round, so there’s always an opportunity to start or continue your dance journey.
If you are new to Latin Groove but have taken classes before, we will evaluate your
competencies and put you in the right level based on our curriculum. The price for an
evaluation for new students is 10$, but this value will be deducted from any package
purchased the same day. Evaluations happen on week nights between 5pm and 9pm.
Please present yourself at the reception and we will create you an account with us
before the evaluation starts.
If you are a Latin Groove student, individual evaluations are included in your
package. Evaluations are available on week nights between 5pm and 9pm. In-class
group evaluations are incorporated at the end of each 5-week session from
introduction level to level 2. It is requested that an individual evaluation or in-class
group evaluation is passed before moving to a new level.
If you are taking only 1 class a week, that is only 1 hour a week. That is definitely not
enough. We estimate that you’ll forget at least 50% of what you were taught. Ideally
one should practice on their own during the week, before your weekly classes. The
more you practice the more you learn. We have the lounge area available for Latin
Groove students during our opening hours . If you’d like to advance even faster, we
offer private classes with a choice of teachers. Please check out our price list for all
our private lesson packages.
At Latin Groove, we teach many different styles of dance. We have latin dances
(salsa, bachata, cha-cha, merengue, cumbia etc.), we have international dances
(samba, semba, kizomba, Bollywood, reggaeton, tango, ballroom etc.) we have more
technical classes (styling, turns, footwork, shines, musicality, jazz etc.) and we have
fitness classes (Zumba, cardio workouts, yoga, stretching etc).
The easiest dance we teach is the merengue, but all our classes start at the beginner
level so even if you’ve never danced before, you can take your first steps with us.
There is not one specific dance that you should start before the other. We’ve seen
students who have never danced before take 3 dances and excel at them all. The
trick is the practice time you give it.
Definitely not! Dance has no limits! Our students range from 3 – 99.
Not at all! Many students come solo. We rotate partners during class, so everyone gets a chance to dance with different people.
Switching partners is not an obligation. However switching partners is the best way to
learn proper leading and following techniques. We strongly suggest you switch
partners but it is your choice.
Depending on the type of class, the level and the hour it’s given, we have between 6-45
students in each class.
You are welcome to register beforehand or arrive and scan your membership card at the
entrance of the studio. Both options are possible and will allow you to take a class with us.
We have many prices according to how many classes per week you take. We invite
you to check our price list and promotions on our website. (LINK)
The best thing would be to start with dance shoes, as they don’t limit your
capabilities. The reason dance shoes work so well is that they are made for this
purpose, fitting the foot as close to perfectly as a shoe can, but with a sole designed
to give the right amount of grip ‘n slip so that every step can be performed with
confidence, no limitations. We do not allow street shoes in our studios. Running
shoes, boots or flip-flops are not recommended in our studios as well. If you are
interested in purchasing dance shoes, we sell prodanceshoes.com. Come and try a
pair and feel the difference in your dancing.
You can always take a private class with one of our experienced instructors or you
can take extra classes during the same week.
There are two ways of registering. You can do it online or at the reception desk at the
studio. Please show up at least 15 minutes before your first class in order to finalize
the registration.
We have classes 7 days per week. Please check out our schedule page for the full
schedule. We also book private lessons outside of our opening hours.
We teach New York style on 1 and 2, Cuban and Colombian style salsa. For bachata, we have modern, sensual, and Dominican style.
We have a lounge where our students can practice during our opening hours.
Everyone practices with everyone. It’s free for our students. We also have Friday
night socials from 9pm-2 am with an entrance fee of 12$ per person. We have a fully
stocked bar as well where you can order your favorite cocktails.
Yes we do. You can rent a room or the entire studio outside of our opening hours as during our opening hours. We invite you to call us at 514.92.SALSA (5149272572) for more information about the availabilities and the terms and conditions. (LINK)
