Walking into a dance class for the first time can feel intimidating. Maybe you’ve never danced before. Maybe you’re new to the area. Maybe you work from home and want to meet people in real life. Maybe your social circle has changed, or you and your partner want something new to do together. Or maybe you simply want to learn how to dance.
Whatever brings you through the door, you don’t need a partner, previous experience, or a certain kind of personality to begin.
At Flying Dance Community, dance gives us something to learn together, and the connections grow from there.
Bring people together through dance, creating genuine connection, inspiring people to be present, and building stronger communities on and off the dance floor.
Dance creates movement, but it also creates interaction. You learn someone’s name. You practise together. You laugh when something goes wrong. You see familiar faces the following week, and eventually, you walk into the room already knowing people. That’s the progression Flying Dance is built to encourage.
You may be completely new to dance, returning after years away, new to your community, working remotely and craving more face-to-face connection, rebuilding your social life, or looking for something to enjoy with a partner. You may just be curious whether you can actually learn to dance.
You can. And you don’t need to arrive already knowing someone. Come as you are, we’ll begin your dance journey from there.
This matters enough to say clearly: you can come by yourself. Many people do.
Our classes are designed to help people interact naturally through dance, and partner rotation is encouraged in most classes — dancing with different people builds lead-and-follow skills, adaptability and confidence. But your comfort matters too: if you’d rather stay with the partner you came with, just let your instructor know. The goal isn’t to pressure people into interacting — it’s to make interaction easier.

Flying Dance began in Guelph in 2004, founded by Nico Kaburia around a love of partner dancing and the connections that grow from it. For 14 years, that story centred on a single studio.
It doesn’t anymore. We’ve grown into a network of local communities across Southern Ontario — including Guelph, Milton, Georgetown, Brantford, Erin, Arthur and Stratford — each with its own classes, instructors and rhythm, all part of one Flying Dance Community.

In every community, the path looks the same:
We aren’t trying to create professional dancers out of everyone who walks through our doors. We want to create capable social dancers who feel comfortable participating — and communities people genuinely want to return to.
You don’t need to know how to dance. You don’t need to bring a partner. You don’t need to wait until you feel confident enough. You just need a place to start.
Come learn a few steps. Meet a few people. See how it feels.
Move. Meet. Belong. with Flying Dance Community
