"A friend of mine used to work at iDance, and I took a drop-in class a couple of years ago while visiting Vancouver, BC. I'm from the U.S. and wished I lived closer and could take classes more regularly. 

Well, then the COVID-19 pandemic came along, and dance classes got virtual, which meant..., I COULD TAKE iDANCE CLASSES AGAIN!!! YAY!! And I was even more excited to do so because I've danced for 41 years, since I was a kid, and have done all kinds of dance styles. I mean ALL, but at home where I live and done, I can't always find all the styles I want for adults.

Lately, I've been doing ballet, modern, hip hop, and sometimes tap but I miss my first dance love, jazz. 

Thanks to iDance I've been able to do jazz again in various different styles, plus learn new things like Afrobeats, burlesque, and dance hall. Little did I know that a lot of hip-hop classes I'd taken over the years had incorporated dance hall movement.

 

Anyway, I appreciate this opportunity to learn new things and keep up with dance, which helps me with the stress of the pandemic. All the teachers at iDance are upbeat, caring, and talented. They make dancing via Zoom in my living room fun. Other staff at iDance are also gracious and patient, helping me with any technological issues I've run into (and any techie hiccups have been quickly resolved.) It makes me wish iDance was just across the border from me or was in my own town.

Thanks so much for sharing the love of dance and community with me!"
