Baza Dance Studios

Baza is a pillar of the partner dance scene in Vancouver. Most Latin dancers who learned in Vancouver seem to have studied there. Great teachers, welcoming vibes. Do yourself a favor and sign up for a class

This is such a warm, fun and inviting community! My instructors Cesar & Tracie are top notch! They are skilled, great at teaching, they're engaging & they keep things fun! Every class were bound to laugh bc the humour is there too:)

Love the Baza crew! I focus on Bachata, and the various Bachata instructors are all wonderful, especially the owners Kristal and Wayne. They are all very detailed and thorough with their lessons. Makes it easy to learn from, and lots of fun. They're all very friendly as well.

The first adult dance studio I started at and still the one I attend two years later! Great variety of solo classes if you're into Latin or Afro styles. I've taken solo classes with almost all the instructors, and they're all awesome. And if you want to learn Angolan kizomba, look no further than class with Tracie and Cesar! They know their stuff, they educate students on the dance's culture + background, and they provide great feedback on technique while challenging us to think beyond just dancing combos. The studio host socials during non-summer seasons with an intro partner class included in the cover, so try them out with a friend or five.and the discovery pass for solo classes are a great option. I'd try Afrobeats with Clement or Zumba with Antonya. If you like reggaeton, Celina's got you covered! LFS/Lauren is also great for Latin choreo.

Karima was everything we needed in a dance teacher for our wedding dance. She customized a dance to our personalities and skill level and made every moment learning it total fun. The end product was gorgeous and everyone’s highlight of the night! Forever thankful for this Bollywood QUEEN!

The Baza Dance crew are all AWESOME! So inclusive and welcoming to people of all levels. We LOVE our dance classes!

Baza is a great dance studio. They are very friendly to beginners as well as those who may not be able to come to the studio frequently. I have taken Zouk, Salsa, Latin Grooves, and Latinsanity. I enjoyed them all!

I’ve just started classes at Baza Dance with John and Celina and they have been so much fun! The studio has a really positive and safe environment and everyone I’ve interacted with has been incredibly helpful and friendly. I haven’t always felt the same with instructors at other studios so I’m really glad I signed up at Baza. Also appreciate that there is an option to take a bachata class that is not immediately over sensual and that some Dominican bachata moves are sprinkled in!

I've fallen in love with dance classes again thanks to Baza! I've been attending Latin Pop with Lauren since January and I feel so good in class - I literally look forward to Monday evenings every week! I love the choregraphy style class and Lauren is an amazing, energetic and approachable teacher. Her classes are very beginner friendly, but also a bit of a challenge - and tons of fun and laughs are had along the way!

Well-maintained dance studio and friendly staff. Enjoyed the beginner Salsa dance class with John as drop-ins. Later we signed up for more classes with Arely and the classes were super good and strongly recommended for whoever starts Salsa.

I love Baza! I've been only three times so far but the classes have all been a delightful blend of fun, learning and community. The instructors, Javier and Carla, are AMAZING. I can't say enough about how great they are with beginners (like me) but also at working with varying levels of students. They are true professionals, they kept us on track but also kept us laughing. They have really made dancing seem accessible to me. I'm excited to continue the journey!

Taking a beginner level class and I'm really enjoying the format and vibe. Can't recommend the instructors and class enough!

I’ve been trying various dance studios for the last few months. Thank Gawd I found Baza! It is a safe and welcoming environment, especially for beginners.
Jojo and Clement give me life!

We love Baza Dance Studios!
My son is 5 yrs old and is very entusiastic about going to dance class!
His confidence has improve and his joy of life overall.priceless!
Now is learning to follow instructions and follow a choreography:)

What an amazing latin 101 class with Cezar! We booked a private group class for a friend's birthday and it was sooo much fun! Cezar is a total catch, great at teaching, gets you in the latino vibeee and makes sure everyone is having fun. Would totally recommend!

Amazing, professional and friendly staff, studio and vibes. Special thanks to Kristal, Wayne, Arley, Michelle and Alex.

Best place to learn solo or partner latin dancing, friendliest instructors in Vancouver and a great vibe overall!

Baza Dance Studio is the best place where you can learn any different styles of dances, the instructor's are very friendly, specially the owner Kristal, so I can highly recommend this studio to anyone

Great dance school!
and they also have awesome events.the instructors are welcoming.
The instructor Arely is awesome as well!

Because the instructor was a lot of fun and I've never taken a dance lesson before but I already can't wait to go back for the next one!

I love coming to classes. The vibe, the way Kristal and Wayne teach, how much they care about the right technique and that everyone is welcome.

Fantastic instructors, the class moved at a nice pace, and I felt very comfortable despite never having done that type of dancing before!

Baza is the best dance studio that I've ever been to, it includes the most friendly and inclusive people in the dance community within Vancouver. A place of smiles and acceptance that genuinely makes up a great dancing & learning experience.

I was so impressed the first time I walked in to view the lesson offerings. Staff were friendly, and instructors were easy to follow, generous and fun. What a great first experience!

Great place, Arely was a great teacher and made me progress really fast. The community over there is also very friendly:)

Great instructors, friendly staff and students, variety of class options, beautiful studio and great sound system.

Not only are Kristal and Wayne great teachers, but their perpetual enthusiasm and warmth are contagious. You leave with a great feeling, motivation and inspiration!

There is a really good community at Baza. The instructors are super friendly and high level, the students are caring and fun. The ownership seems committed to build not just a dance centre, but a dance community.

I began at Baza in Sept 2018 and it was the best decision I've made since moving to Vancouver. The entire team is warm, welcoming, and energetic. The instructors encourage me to push my comfort zone while still having a great time and learning! So glad I found the Baza family.

I love Baza dance! The teachers are very patient and friendly with absolute beginners like me. I highly recommend it to my friends.

I’ve taken salsa classes from other studios and Baza is absolutely the best one to start learning salsa with. They took at least 2 classes to practice basic steps so that it will come to your memory. This is very important (for absolute beginners who just start learning to dance) that other studios tend to skim over. Plus, the teachers are very patient and will help you in every way! 10 out of 10.

The energy at Baza is fun, inviting, and warm. It exudes not just from the instructors, ambazadors, and staff but also from the entire dance community they have created. Having lived in Latin America, I am so thrilled to have found a dance shcool that truly feels like it has captured the authentic passion and flavour of latin dance that I was seeking.

Baza is an excellent school to learn the basics and to elevate your dance skills over time. As a beginner I felt soo welcomed in class but also in the social dances where more advanced dancers are always eager to help others learn and grow through practice.

If you are like me and want to know how to dance already, I recommend the all access pass to be able to try different styles of partner dances like Bacahata and Salsa, and also have access to the super fun Zumba, Reggeaton, and Latin styling classes.

As a married gal whose husband doesn't dance, I was relieved to find that you never need to come with a partner at Baza. The pros are very good about always getting you dancing with new people - making it a fun, social activity.

The passion for dance at Baza is truly contagious! I can not recommend it enough, dancing at Baza has changed my life.
