2024 SATURDAY GROUP LESSON SCHEDULE
NOVEMBER:
7PM is ARGENTINE TANGO
Our guest teacher for Argentine Tango is Paul Taylor. Paul studied tango in Argentina, has won many awards as a dancer, and has featured in TV commercials, shows and movies. He has been teaching dance for over 25 years and was named top teacher for five years running when teaching at the Arthur Murray's Dance School.
8PM is WEST COAST SWING
West Coast Swing is rooted in Lindy Hop and is characterized by an elastic look that results from its extension-compression technique of partner connection. It is a 'slot dance' like the Hustle and Bachata, in that it is danced primarily in a slotted area on the dance floor.
Taught by our special guest instructor, Paul Taylor, this group lesson will be a lot of fun for all.
DECEMBER: Given it will only be a partial month of classes, we will be continuing the Argentine Tango at 7pm and the West Coast Swing at 8pm.
DANCE SOCIAL
Our Saturday night dance social provides a friendly and supportive atmosphere to practice your moves on a mirrored, full-size ballroom.
No partner? No problem. Dancers of all levels and styles have fun sharing their knowledge and joy of dancing to an eclectic mix of classic and modern Swing, Latin and Ballroom music.

Kathy Bradley founded Let’s Dance Studio in Vancouver on May 15, 1979 and has been operating the dance school out of its current location on Granville Street since 1990.
Starting her dancing career at Arthur Murray’s Dance Studio in Winnipeg, after moving to Vancouver, Kathy was encouraged to open her own ballroom dancing school and give the people of Vancouver a new place to learn how to dance, meet new friends and have fun.
Since opening day May 1979, many students of Let's Dance Studio danced competitively in Canada and the United States, and some came away with top results, but most of the hundred of students learned to dance merely for the joy it brings to their lives.
"Dancing is my life - there is nothing I love more than sharing the joy of ballroom dancing - expressing yourself with graceful, elegant movement, truly connecting with your partner while enjoying great music of today and times gone by.
Dancing is Romancing!
Until Chubby Checker's 'The Twist' came out, everybody knew how to social dance, and more often than not it was on a dance floor you found your future true love. After the Twist we never held each other while dancing again. It's time we brought real dancing back again.
At Let's Dance Studio we teach ballroom in a more relaxed casual style than other formal competitive schools. Our goal is to make ballroom dancing accessible, easy and fun for people of all ages and skill levels. Let us share with you the beauty and joy of ballroom dancing.
