Orangeville version. For the Toronto version, see dancershouse.com/aroundworld.
$125-$200, or $12 per destination.
Classes + Parties.
Dine ‘n’ Dance option – some weeks meet at a restaurant related to that week’s trip.
Partner not required. Many partners rotate.
Each class learn a sequence you can loop or vary for a whole song, while also growing towards playfully improvising together.
Video class summaries so you can review any time!
Young? Old? Highly trained? Never trained? Unless otherwise specified: All welcome. Concerned class will be too hard? Too easy? Contact us or just come try. Most classes are semi-customized – so everyone works at a level right for them.
For partner dances, learn the freedoms of following and the ways good leaders follow the follower. Choose either role, or learn to switch between roles.
Parties start with reviewing previous classes. Teacher(s) are available for help and to dance with you.
You can choose to go only to specific “destinations”, but the intention is to grow a range of complementary skills that gradually grow freedom and fun on the dance floor to any music, so we recommend the complete journey.
No tax, no ticket fee. Money back guarantee.

Feels like too much of a whirlwind? We also love slow culture – taking things slow – but people with 3 left feet who seemed almost hopeless at the start of these classes have learned the essence of each dance and some very cool moves. I expect you will be similarly delightfully surprised.
You can choose to go only to specific “destinations”, but the intention is to grow a range of complementary skills that gradually grow freedom and fun on the dance floor to any music, so we recommend the complete journey.
Want a class in the morning, afternoon or a different evening? Different location? Let us know.
