Metro Movement Dance Studio

Metro Movement has been like a second home to me for the past year. It's a fantastic studio with top-notch teachers who are all working in the industry. Not only are the classes some of the best in the city, the teachers are amazing people and very welcoming, and Phil and Kalie who run the studio are just fabulous.
No matter what level or style of dance you want to do, they have a class for you. However, I especially recommend it if you are a part of the musical theatre/entertainment industry. It's a great place to build your skills and to network.
I highly highly recommend it!!

Do you want to sweat it up while busting a move? Well EVERYBODY DANCE NOW at METRO MOVEMENT!

I have been dancing since I was a tiny 3 year old and I owe this studio a lot in terms of keeping up my technique while sustaining my love and passion for dancing!

After returning home from university for good, I was looking for a dance studio in Toronto that would offer a plethora of dance classes - all levels and diverse types of movement. This is when I came upon Metro Movement.

The classes are well worth it because they are taught by amazing professionals and include all aspects of a dance class (barre, warm-up, stretching, technique, jumps and spins, and routine instruction) and the majority of classes run for at least 1.5 hours!

Here are the rates:

Single class: $13
Five classes: $60
Ten classes: $110
Twenty classes: $200

And they also offer just a Ballet Barre for $10 per time.

So whether you are a beginner dancer or a technical expert who has been dancing since in diapers, Metro Movement offers a little bit of everything to quench your dancing thirst!

I went to this studio three times (to give it a chance) but I am very disappointed.
I took ballet 3 with Stelio (the owner) and I have to say I felt that he took my money and I did not received a good class.
Why? here is why...
First, the class was supposed to start at 10:30am and started at 10:40am (every time!) and Stelio just talks too much. He has too much ego and likes to talk about him and him and him.....I counted how much time he spent talking about him..and it was 20 minutes in total! so at the end you pay for a 1.5 hour class and just get an hour!

So I do not recommend this place. I am going to another studio now and it is awesome!

Other than the sort of nasty floor that turns my feet and ballet flats black, I really enjoy the classes at Metro. The staff and instructors are super friendly and welcoming, there is live accompaniment and plenty of room even in a full class, and the instruction is very good quality. I've only taken ballet class there but the three different instructors were all very good at walking the line between being very structured and strict but allowing for a variety of levels of experience and expectations among students of all ages and shapes and backgrounds.

The teachers are great unfortunately the studio itself is old and the floors were super dirty. I didn't find it to be a welcoming studio...so prob not going back.
