Round dancing is fun and it is also good excercise! Through learning various figures in several ballroom rythms, both our minds and bodies get a great workout!

4worldlovers: Welcome to Free Spirit Dance, a dance and fitness studio just for adults. A place where everyone is welcome, free to express themselves and free to live life out loud and proud! I didn’t start dance until my early 20s. I am a bit of an anomaly in the dance community as most professional dancers start when they are very young. I wanted to create a safe space specifically for adults based on my own dance and fitness journey. Maybe you have never danced before and you have always wanted to try, perhaps you want to stay in shape doing something that is fun, or maybe you danced when you were young and now you just want to experience the joy of movement again. At Free Spirit we foster an inclusive community where you can feel free to explore without judgment. It’s good to try new things because you never know what new and exciting things you might find out about yourself. I never knew that one dance class in Cuba over 20 years ago would lead into a passion that is now my career. I also wanted to create a space where you can experience workouts that are fun! Dance is fun! Fitness is fun!

Free Spirit Dance was named not only to represent my own journey of finding freedom to break free and become what I was called to be, but it was also named to inspire others to do the same! It’s about finding freedom from within ourselves. I am a living example that is never too late to be what you might have been! What I love most about movement is that it is just good food for the soul! It makes you feel alive!

Don’t be afraid to try! We are a fun and inclusive bunch at Free Spirit!

At Free Spirit Dance we live life outside the box because that is where the magic happens.

4worldlovers: DJD is one of the only dance companies in North America dedicated to jazz dance. As a creation-based company, we present new work annually, most often with live original music.


“You listen. You look. And you say yes. That’s what music should look like.”


We believe dance is for everyone. As Calgary’s largest dance school, we offer a wide variety of classes for all ages and abilities, from absolute beginners to seasoned professionals.

"Rebecca is a great teacher. Her combos and exercises are fun and thoroughly explained, and she takes the time to ensure everyone is comfortable where they are at. Highly recommend!"

The DJD professional company is made up of a small group of unique and spectacular dancers with diverse training and backgrounds.

With over 35 years of experience in performance and instruction, our training programs offer students a place to learn and grow within jazz dance.

“The feedback offered in PTP is extremely personalized so I came out of my experience with knowledge that continues to process through my body and mind.”

DJD hosts a number of special events, from the Black & White Ball to Opening Night Celebrations to Artist Talkbacks.

“...one of the best events there is - Decidedly Jazz Danceworks (DJD) Black White Ball…”

DJD was born in 1984 to keep the spirit of jazz alive.

Jazz is born of Black American culture and its roots lie in the turbulent history of the African American experience. We acknowledge this history and recognize ourselves as guests in this form. We are inspired by and benefit from traditions born of a culture that is not our own. We strive to be respectful in honouring the roots and history of jazz, we dance with reverence for those who came before us, we dig deep to go forward, we strive to appreciate rather than appropriate.

Welcome back. What a difference a year makes, what a difference a moment can make…

I don’t believe we are on the other side yet, maybe we are on another side, here we are, opening our arms and hearts with hope of live experiences, of health, of great times!

We have an ambitious season planned, let’s dream big and see…

Awesome place! Marcos is very professional and has a great team of dancers to help you learn. Whether you are a beginner or more experienced dancer, this is a fabulous place for everyone. Great community building and social events as well.


I have been learning Salsa, Bachata and Reggaton at Havana Social Dance Studio for about a year and a half now. When I first started, I barely knew how to do a basic salsa step. After only 4 months of practice, I already began to perform on stage with the performance group.
