What we do…
At Dancing for Dessert we aim to create an atmosphere of warmth, welcome and safety, where people feel comfortable, relaxed and free to express themselves. Our goal is to create a thriving community of dancers with members who are supported, inspired and elevated every time they visit our studio.
We offer a full schedule of classes and private lessons for all levels of dancer in a variety of styles. Salsa, cha cha, waltz, tango, rumba and foxtrot are just a few of the dances we teach. (Check out the full list on our dances page). Basically if it takes two it’s something we do!
How we got here…
Dancing for Dessert Studio was founded in 2005 by long-time dance team Andrew & Magda. Since then it has grown to become the ballroom dancing destination for Langley and the Fraser Valley with a fantastic team of instructors and hundreds of students served.
It all started in a downtown Vancouver ballroom in 1998 where Andrew & Magda first met and started dancing together. Not long after we were practicing, teaching, competing and eventually engaged!
After 4 years of teaching in Vancouver we decided to move to England to further our dancing by training and competing with the best in the world. It was a life changing experience culminating with a trip to the famous Blackpool dance festival where we competed professionally in both standard and Latin.
In 2004 we embarked on a new journey in the cruise industry as featured dance professionals and entertainers. We sailed the Eastern States and Canada with Norwegian Cruise Lines and were the inaugural dance team aboard the Queen Mary II, the biggest ship in the world at the time.
Back on land in 2005, Magda started a few trial classes around the Lower Mainland, eventually finding a solid foundation in North Langley. Dancing for Dessert Studio was born!
For the first 5 years we taught out of Total Fitness Gym and Willoughby Hall, where we gathered students, staff and equipment. Eventually the need for a space of our own was obvious and in 2009 we moved into our current location in Walnut Grove.
In September of 2015 we celebrated our 10th anniversary as a studio and we have continued to create more and more amazing history in the ensuing years. Thank you so much to all of the students and staff who have made so many amazing contributions along the way.
