Practice Sessions recommended by Toronto Dance

We are currently recommending the following practice sessions for Toronto Dance students. These are ideal for beginner dancers who have taken at least a few hours of dance classes. Please note, these are not lessons/classes but just a place to practice.

Go to practice what you have learned.

Toronto Dance, the organizers and the premise are not responsible for any loss or injury incurred during the practices.

The Sat 3:30-7:30pm Salsa practice is run by students from various dance students and is non-profit. The cost is determined by the cost of the room rental divided by the number of people in attendance that week. Click here to see more information about the non-profit event.

Contact us about other places for Latin-Ballroom practices.
