Welcome!
Founded by SalsaSteph, veteran salsa instructor and event planner in Toronto.
Dance to express yourself, to relax, to be uplifted, to connect,
to make friends, to exercise, to set personal achievement goals,
to add spice to your life, to transition, to become more confident,
to feel supported no matter what, to belong, to share, to move,
to free yourself, to overcome, to renew, to heal...
because life can be a party every day...
dance because you want to, because you need to,
dance because you CAN!

- New! GDM Sunday Social Ice-Breakers. Socials are a great alternative to clubs. They are all about dance, not picking up, not drinking..but can be intimidating at first. You just need to dance a few times to become familiar and comfortable. Iona will greet you at 6pm at a table for GDM, and dance with you to break the ice! First Sunday of the month, after the Tuesday salsa practice, starting February.
