Dance Conmigo participates for the second year at the Step into Motion Dance Festival. Step Into Motion is a non profit organization that is managed by teachers, students and dance professionals within the community of Eastern Ontario. The purpose of the Step Into Motion Dance Festival is to encourage dance in the schools and throughout the region of Eastern Ontario.

This year, Dance Conmigo was invited to teach a salsa workshop. The participants of the workshop were so talented that in one 90 minute class they learned the equivalent of five group classes of our regular salsa program. Thank you Gisele Paquette (organiser) for the invitation.

Dance Conmigo is available to participate in dance workshop in and outside the Montreal area. Call us for you next dance event. Dance Conmigo teaches workshops of Salsa, Tango, Ballroom and West Coast Swing.

No time to chill with the weekly West Coast Swing practices, monthly dance parties, private classes, and 13 group classes held every week! Ballroom, Salsa, Argentine Tango, West Coast Swing… what better way to beat the winter blues than to heat things up on the dance floor!

A gust of new students filled the classes this winter as Dance Conmigo teamed up with the social website Tuango to offer an excellent promotion to the dance-curious. Most were so taken by their experience that they are returning this Spring for more dance lessons!

A big THANK YOU to new instructors Catherine and Pascal, who instilled in their students their love and passion for West Coast Swing – every Monday night in their beginner WCS class!

Kudos also to returning instructors Jade and Gary for eliciting much praise from their Salsa students including: “You guys are the best!” and “The classes were great. Lots of fun!”

New last season: For the first time, we separated our beginner Ballroom classes into Ballroom Smooth classes (Slow Waltz, American Tango, Foxtrot, Viennese Waltz) and Ballroom Rhythm classes (Merengue, Cha-Cha, Samba, Rumba, Swing). We wanted to give more time and attention to each dance – and the results were awesome!

Looking forward, Dance Conmigo founders and instructors Cheryl and Alain continue developing their programs so as to integrate new students while challenging those who have been with them now for almost 5 years! A few new and exciting classes will be added this Spring & Summer – stay tuned for details!
