Meilleurs cours d’art dramatique dans Montreal : trouvez des options près de chez vous

If you’re looking to add some serious spice and fun to your life, Latin Groove is the spot in Montreal! From the moment you step in, you’re hit with great vibes, passionate instructors, and a welcoming community that makes dancing feel like a celebration every time. Whether you’re a total newbie or a salsa pro, their wide range of classes—Salsa, Bachata, Kizomba, and more—have got you covered.

The instructors break down moves in a way that’s easy to follow but still challenges you to level up. Plus, the Friday night socials are an absolute blast—live DJs, a lively bar, and tons of friendly faces ready to dance the night away. The studio itself is cozy but perfectly set up for learning and socializing.

I also love that they’ve expanded to Brossard, making it easier for more people to join the fun. If you want to meet awesome people, get fit, and learn some killer dance moves, Latin Groove is where you want to be. Trust me, once you start, you’ll be hooked!

Latin Groove is a fantastic school — great vibe, amazing energy, and a perfect place to learn dancing. I give 5 stars for the school overall.

But unfortunately, I have to give 1 star for my experience with Nataly, one of the teachers. Throughout the class, she gave no feedback, no corrections, no direction. Then, out of nowhere during the evaluation, she tells me I’m not ready to move to the next level.

When I asked why, she told me: “you have to check with my boss.”
Seriously? If you’re the one doing the evaluation, you should be able to justify your own decision. How can a teacher assess a student and not even be able to explain what needs to be improved? That’s not just unprofessional — that’s a complete lack of accountability.

For context: I was evaluated two sessions ago by another teacher who approved me to move on. Since then, I’ve improved a lot — but I personally chose to repeat the level twice to feel even more confident. And now Nataly tells me I can’t move forward? Seriously? She doesn’t want me to move on after all that effort?

To make it worse: she passed someone who couldn’t even perform the basic steps — and yet held me back, someone who’s shown commitment, consistency, and actual progress. That’s not just unfair — that’s completely unprofessional.

What an unfair evaluation, Nataly.
I will not accept being evaluated by you again. And frankly, as someone who teaches dance, you need to seriously work on your communication and leadership skills. Being a professional isn’t just about dancing well — it’s about guiding students with clarity, fairness, and integrity. You failed at that.

Latin Groove is the best dance studio in Montreal!They have all of the best teachers and classes. Nataly makes us women feel so sexy with her lady styling and heels fusion classes. 10/10 recommend!

I’ve been dancing at Latin Groove for nearly two and a half years now, and it’s truly been an incredible journey. I’ve had the pleasure of learning a variety of styles, including salsa, bachata, Zumba, and kizomba. Each class has been a fun and enriching experience, but I have to give a special shoutout to Franklin Velasco – his Zumba classes are next-level.

Franklin Velasco is, without a doubt, one of the best Zumba instructors I’ve ever come across. His energy is infectious, and his choreographies are not only professionally crafted but also deeply inspiring. He has a unique ability to make everyone feel the music and truly want to move. His classes are more than just a workout — they’re a full-on dance party that lifts your spirit and keeps you coming back for more.

If you’re looking to fall in love with dance, Latin Groove is the place to be — and Frankly’s Zumba class is an absolute must-try.

An exceptional dance school. They offer at list 30 different classes every week —something I haven’t seen in any other studio.

The teachers—Nataly, Franklin, Francisco, and Jonathan—are passionate professionals who share not only their love for dance but also excellent technical advice.
Attending classes here is truly motivating: you can feel the joy, enthusiasm, and drive to improve in every session. It makes you want to try all the courses!

The facilities are also spacious, bright, and well-maintained. Thank you LG for making dance accessible to so many people.

Franklin is an exceptional dance instructor! His patience and dedication set him apart—he goes the extra mile to ensure every move is perfected. He creates a supportive and encouraging environment, making even the most challenging steps feel achievable. Whether you’re a beginner or refining your skills, Franklin’s attention to detail and passion for dance make every lesson enjoyable and rewarding. Highly recommended

I love Latin groove! This place is super fun with great instructors. I’m by no means a dancer but got a coupon to take a class here a few years ago, I’ve been coming ever since and bring friends for a fun activity downtown. If you get a chance to take a class with Franklyn, he’s super fun and it’s a great workout!

Super endroit pour écouter de la belle musique pour pas trop cher

Tres bien!

Les performances des étudiants universitaires sont de très haut niveau.
Le prix d’entrée est très abordable pour la qualité des spectacles!
Je recommande chaleureusement…

Le Conservatoire de Musique de Montréal c’est l’endroit parfait pour faire les premiers pas vers la vie culturelle.
Les spectacles et les activités qui se déroulent ici sont offerts par de grands professionnels, des vrais ambassadeurs de l’Art.
Les prix de billets sont plus que dérisoires, mais les spectacles sont de haut niveau.

Belle salle rouge avec super son

Très belle salle

Wonderful teachers concert. Very high level of performance.

Malgré sa grande timidité, ma fille a su relever le défi avec brio
Sa difficulté aura été d’incarner d’avantage le personnage.
Très fière de mon actrice ! Au plaisir de se revoir en octobre prochain !

Notre expérience a été très positive lors de la session théâtre et nous participons actuellement à la session de cinéma.
Nous avons apprécié le spectacle et plus particulièrement la qualité de la mise en scène et de la technique. De même que les communications et informations transmises régulièrement aux parents.
Tout est très professionnel!
Le lieu choisi pour le spectacle était assez éloigné de notre domicile. Mais nous comprenons que Tapis Rouge est présent à plusieurs places au Québec!

J’ai été surprise de voir à quel point ma fille de 9 ans prenait le cours au sérieux. Cela me laissait croire que la prof était motivante et que les enfants s’amusaient, avaient envie d’y aller et de s’impliquer (en tout cas, pour ma fille)
Je trouve difficile que les sessions du cours d’Éveil soient si courte. Il y aurait tellement place à laisser les enfants s’amuser davantage et comme c’est court, s’il y a quelque chose, on manque beaucoup. Comme pour la prochaine session, nous serons en voyage et ma fille manquera 2 cours. Si c’était sur 12, ce serait moins pire que sur 8, disons. Déjà, elle a hâte à la prochaine session!

Notre fils de 10 ans s’est véritablement épanoui à travers sa session de théâtre et s’est révélé sur scène avec une aisance et une confiance grandissantes.
L’originalité de la pièce a rendu l’expérience encore plus captivante, et le rendu final des trois pièces était tout simplement incroyable.
Le professionnalisme et la patience du professeur ont été remarquables, surtout dans un contexte où de nombreuses absences lors des répétitions ont compliqué son travail.
Enfin, le bulletin de fin de session était un bel outil, à la fois constructif et empreint de bienveillance, ce qui est très apprécié. Une piste d’amélioration serait d’offrir la possibilité de filmer les pièces permettrait de garder un précieux souvenir et/ou de partager la performance avec les membres de la famille qui ne peuvent être présents.

J’ai été surprise de voir comment ma fille s’est intégrée au groupe du cours Préparatoire, elle s’est sentie très à son aise. C’est la première fois depuis que je l’inscris dans une activité que je la voie à ce point motivée. Les personnes qu’on a côtoyées durant le cours sont très sympa et sociable depuis Mme Sophie jusqu’aux parents des autres enfants.
Je n’ai eu aucune difficulté et j’espère que dans le prochain cours tout sera pareil.

Ma fille a eu énormément de plaisir, elle a eu la piqûre pour continuer. Nous savions que c’était son élément, les personnage, la comédie et tous. Elle était a sa place. Nous avons surtout hâte de voir la prochaine session d’automne vue son tda et sa petite dyslexie, nous avons hâte de voir si ça va bien aller. Les devoirs aussi, c’est toujours plus dur de la motiver à faire ses leçons le soir. Alors nous attendons la prochaine session avec impatience.

Merci encore, et bonne continuité

J’ai été agréablement surpris par le nombre d’activités différentes (improvisation, mime, théâtre, cinéma, jeu seul et à deux, etc.) que les élèves ont pu découvrir en si peu de temps (8 semaines de cours d’éveil).
Également la très belle énergie transmise par la professeure (Sophie) à la classe.
Ma fille était toujours impatiente de découvrir le cours suivant.
Elle a bien hâte de débuter la nouvelle session à la rentrée.
Même en cherchant bien je n’ai rien trouvé de négatif à propos de cette expérience.

Je m’entraîne au studio Gilles Plouffe depuis un an et demi, et je compte continuer longtemps. C’est l’endroit parfait pour développer son jeu et l’amener au niveau supérieur. Gilles et son apprenti Thomas sont d’excellents pédagogues, qui maîtrisent très bien les principes du jeu réaliste. Fortement recommandé !

Been a student of Gilles for the past couple months and I’ve been loving it! Great teachers, supportive environment, great learning experience and easy parking. Definitely recommend for anyone wanting to learn about acting.

Je recommende le studio d’acteur Gilles Plouffe, à tous ceux qui désire apprendre l’acting, se développer personnellement et le tous sans jugement. Gilles & Thomas, sont des excellent prof. Leurs passion pour le jeu et l’enseignement se fait ressentir.

My experience at Gilles Plouffe Actors Studio, and especially working with Gilles Plouffe, has been instrumental in my professional development as an actor. The training is top-notch, and the coaching is truly transformative.

Cela fait un an que je prends des cours, et mon jeu d’acteur s’est énormément amélioré. Grâce à sa technique sensorielle, Gilles nous pousse à nous explorer en profondeur et à donner le meilleur de nous-mêmes.

Je reviens toujours aux cours de Gilles. C’est une approche du jeu méthodique et qui se concentre sur l’essentiel.

With his warm and generous style, Gilles provides complete training for film and theatre tailored for students at all levels. His extensive experience as an actor allows him to combine creativity, professionalism, and practical insights. And he offers all of this to his students in a safe and supportive environment. You can’t help but grow as a result of Gilles’ guidance, patience, and gentle humour. Thank you, Gilles! 🙂

We celebrated our daughter’s 11th birthday with her friends. Everyone enjoyed the game (Magical)! The staff was very attentive, and the service was excellent. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

Un cours exceptionnel, à la fois thérapeutique et ludique, animé par Frédéric. Grâce à sa pédagogie bienveillante, Frédéric crée un environnement de confiance où chacun peut s’exprimer et progresser à son rythme.

Une expérience humaine très enrichissante, Frédéric est très bienveillant et passionné ! Vous serez vite à l’aise si vous avez peur de vous lancer.

Excellent coaching privé, approche efficace qui a permis un progrès immédiat. Frédéric est sympathique, professionnel et a très bien répondu à nos attentes.

Très bon cours de théâtre. J’ai fait deux fois exploration 2 et je le refais en janvier. Frédéric est pédagogue, bienveillant et à l’écoute. Je recommande vraiment ses cours de théâtre.

C’était ma première expérience dans le théâtre et elle fut une merveilleuse aventure. Fred saura vous guider avec écoute et bienveillance et vous donnera tous les outils dont vous aurez besoin pour vous sentir à l’aise. J’y ai beaucoup appris sur moi-même, je me suis surtout beaucoup amusée en plus de m’y faire un groupe d’ami(e)s que je ne suis pas prête d’oublier.

Les cours de théâtre de Frédéric sont un vrai plaisir! J’ai eu la chance de faire 4 cours avec lui et ma progression en improvisation est évidente! D’un très grand professionnalisme ses conseils sont toujours d’une justesse. Il fait en sorte de vous sortir de votre zone de confort selon le profil de chacun. Ces cours ont été pour moi un moyen de lâcher prise et de faire de super rencontre. Je recommanderais a n’importe qui ses cours d’exploration 1 et 2 pour les plus avancés

So far I had an absolute blast and mind changing experiences with Adam’s classes. (Adam is very open minded and kind hearted! – comfort is key, there is a high emphasis that you feel safe within the space!)

Last year I had taken the beginner and intermediate acting class out of sheer curiosity for the movie industry and finding another creative outlet. Then I went on to the Screenwriting class which really rekindled my inner flame for writing – you can learn quite a lot here, as the excercises are also a lot of fun.

Total recommendation if you want to get more in touch with your creative side, or if you are already: the right place to search new realms within your creative self.

Would totally take more writing classes if there will be the possibility of some. (You can see my excitement in the website’s top banner, ha!)

Adams classes are a really great way for anyone to improve their acting! I highly recommend all the classes, I especially loved the advanced acting for camera class. They are organized in a way that makes you feel comfortable and have a lot of fun, yet as the time goes by you start realize how much you have improved. He structures his feedback according to each students skills, bringing out the best in everyone and instilling a desire to get better at the craft. These classes brought back a love for acting I had forgotten I had. I cannot thank Adam enough, definitely take a class at IO if you are considering it!

I highly recommend I.O. Acting Studio. Adam is a great teacher. The classes are fun and very well structured, you can feel you’re improving gradually. It is a very safe space to work on your social skills, especially if you suffer from anxiety or trauma triggers. Whether you want to start an actual acting career or just improve your confidence and speech abilities, you can’t go wrong with Adam.

I took Adam’s beginner and intermediate acting class, and what an experience it was! Let me start by saying I am an English language teacher and I originally took the class to diversify my skill set and try something new. I never expected to have so much fun and enjoy acting as much as I did. Every week I would look forward to going to class because I knew each class would be interesting, fun, and challenging.

Adam is an amazing teacher who provides constructive and honest feedback. He knew when to push us and how to bring out the best in us. Regardless of where you’re coming from, Adam will teach you something you didn’t know about yourself and how to tap into that knowledge to become more aware, confident, and in control of your body and how you express yourself.

I would definitely recommend his classes to anyone and everyone! I got a lot out of his classes and I’m not even interested in becoming an actor. The school where I work immediately noticed a change in my presentation and teaching style. Furthermore, I even started to receive more positive feedback from the students taking my classes.

Thanks again Adam!

I don’t know where to start to be quite honest. Just finished beginners classes and just, wow.

I suffer from severe chronic anxiety, both general and social. I took Adam’s class because I’d love to become an actress but, with my anxiety, wasn’t so sure about it. I took the class anyways, to at least have a reason to get out of my house and do something new. I thought to myself that maybe this would help me be less shy and anxious. Tho anxiety doesn’t just go away magically, I did however exceeded myself by doing something I would never have done in a million years.

On my 1st day, I was terrified. I remember, when we all introduced ourselves, I was shaking, my voice was trembling and couldn’t look anyone in the eyes. As classes went on, I started to feel more at ease. I soon realized that, when in character, I’m a totally different person.

Adam makes us feel very at ease. Something I rarely saw in other types of classes. Instructors were very stern and like to tell you your every little flaws. But Adam is nothing like that. He’ll point out what you did well and what to improve. He’s so dynamic and passionate about it. Hadn’t been for this class and Adam, I might of never discovered that passion in me. I never thought I’d enjoy it this much but, it exceeded my expectations. It made me come out of my shell and made me realize how totally different I am when in rôle. And for that, I am forever grateful to him.

If you too would like to try out acting classes, this is the place to go. Affordable prices, very enjoyable, interesting and a safe and friendly environment. If you also suffer from anxiety and would like to try something new to get out of your comfort zone, go for it. It is truly amazing how it can help you to improve yourself. I 100% recommend it and you won’t regret it.

Thanks again Adam

Adam has an amazing drive, and outstanding ability to communicate to his students, to connect with them, to move them, and to make them laugh!

What I especially appreciate is that, even though there is a general feeling of informality, camaraderie and spontaneity floating comfortably about in his classes, the content he delivers is superbly and consistently curated and generous in detail and specific examples.

Also, the level of hands-on opportunities to “put yourself out there”, to give it a try and/or to watch others give it a try, succeed, fail…

The level of interactivity, the benefiting from being part of a group and the individual attention given to each student are thoroughly and ingeniously well managed!!! You’re the best Adam and we’re so glad we found you for our daughter! Bravo!!!

I found myself under extreme fortune finding Adam and getting to take his beginner, intermediate and advanced acting classes. Prior to those I have never taken an acting class and almost never saw myself taking an acting class, for I am inherently a shy, reserved, introverted human being, but at the fault of Adam’s extreme knowledge and passion for acting you can’t help yourself but want to perform, create and ACT!

I can’t give this review enough stars and can’t wait to take another class of his, truly one of my favourite teachers

I went to HOA literally lost, full of emotional barriers and a lack of self awareness. And now I cannot explain how vital the experience there was for me and my growth as an actor but also as a person. I learned that to be a great actor starts with being a great individual. So now I have a better idea of what my qualities are and what are the things I need to improve and work on. And that’s the best thing you want a program like this to give you. A good head start, a great foundation. So in every chapter of my career I will always be grateful to all my teachers, to Vanessa and to all my classmates for their help.

Being part of the Full-Time Program at House of Actors has been one of the most transformative and rewarding experiences of my life. If you’re on the fence or waiting for a sign—let this be it. Go for it! Invest in yourself; it’s absolutely worth it. Yes, it can be scary at first, but trust me, you’ll be so grateful you took the leap.

This program pushes you beyond your comfort zone in ways you never imagined. It’s intense—full of highs, lows, and moments of self-discovery—but that’s exactly what makes it so powerful. By the end, I felt more prepared and confident than ever to step into the industry.

From day one, the instructors were fully invested in my growth. Their dedication, passion, and support made all the difference, and I always felt they had my best interests at heart. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat! ♡

I had the pleasure of joining House of Actors a few years ago, and I’m so grateful I did. From private classes with Vanessa to the advanced acting class, the intensive summer boot camp and the demo reel event, each experience has been wonderful, and I’ve learned so much about my craft as an actor. They truly are the best of the best!
I can’t wait to take more classes with them in the future, and I would highly recommend them to actors of all levels.

I participated in the mentorship program with House of Actors, and at first, I was completely lost and unsure where to begin. This program has been incredibly helpful—it provided me with the guidance I needed. The care, support, and availability of Vanessa is fantastic. Now, I feel fully equipped and ready to move forward

I’ve been taking scene study classes at HOA for just about a year now and I have no plans in stopping! Vanessa creates a safe space for actors to come and train and explore their creativity. I’ve also just completed her mentorship program which has really helped me get clear about my goals, the work it will take to get there, and lit a fire underneath me to start taking action! If you’re looking to get into this industry, her program is a great place to start.

I have nothing to say but compliment about House of Actors, I recently finished a mentorship with Vanessa and came out of it full of knowledge and resources in the pursuit of my acting career. Just insightful, supportive, professional, and more, overall, such a great experience. I highly recommend that I can’t wait to attend their scene study again

I started my acting training at HOA and it was the best decision I made for my career. After several monthlies, I took the online mentorship. The latter was such an enlightening experience that I decided to enroll in the Full Time Acting Program, which I completed recently. With the help of dedicated coaches and their honest feedback, I got to evolve in a fun, rich and amazing environment. Each class is designed to take you out of your comfort zone and stand out. Since joining HOA, I learned so much not only about the industry, but also about myself. Thanks Vanessa and HOA for being part of my journey!

Les conteurs, 2011 by Richard Morin

This mural by Richard Morin was created for the National Theatre School of Canada’s 50th anniversary. It honors the school’s artistic and cultural contributions, depicting six symbolic characters representing key theatre disciplines: the author, the mother, the youth, the actor, costume, and direction. The gears symbolize production, the backdrop represents set design, and the evolving bill at the bottom reflects time and tradition.

L’espace est propre tout est bien installé et le service à la clientèle irréprochable Good job .

I just had a callback here and wow. the faculty members are so kind and very welcoming, the facility itself is beautiful and seems perfectly suited for the programs, and the people i got to work with were just spectacular. I feel incredibly lucky that I got to be in a room with so many amazing and talented artists.

My Son graduated from this outstanding Theatre School. He learned everything from building circuit boards, carpentry, how to work efficiently plus many other lessons for survival in this changing world. One must be highly motivated and driven in order to get through the 3 years of study and discovery.

Awesome school to visit. Variété of programs whithin field of théâtre and cinéma.

I went here and it was sweet. Ate a lot of nice sandwiches and had a lot of coffee.

Great school. Very professional and great ambiance.

Mon fils fait le cours 4-6 ans théâtre et il a beaucoup de plaisir. Il est toujours heureux d’y aller et d’expérimenter. Seul bémol, l’emplacement du cours (3e étage, corridor étroit), car c’est moins évident avec une poussette.

C’est vraiment une belle experience qui fait du bien à l’âme.
Margaux est formidable, elle a vraiment un don, et tout le long des cours de théâtre, elle a su nous rendre léger, nous mettre en confiance, nous faire sentir en sécurité et nous donner des très bons conseils
C’est un environement où personne ne juge, et où on peut s’exprimer de multiples façons
Le groupe d’hivers 2019 t’aime Margaux !

J’adore ma première expérience de théâtre. Notre professeur Margaux Lecolier est extraordinaire. C’est une personne spéciale, intègre, honnête, humble et d’une grande sagesse. Margaux contribue à l’éveille et l’épanouissement de l’être, elle permet à l’âme de s’élever, de s’ouvrir. Elle donne de tout son coeur. Elle a une vision de transformation pour tous!! Elle accueille chacun et s’assure tout au long des cours de créer une ambiance basée sur le respect de chacun, l’acceptation de soi dans un atmosphère de sécurité, et de non jugement. Très compétente. Sa compétence très large et sa précision nous permet de grandir peu importe nos différences. Pleins d’amour!! Lucie

My daughter made the 4-6 years cours de théâtre, they said on their web site : l’enfant enrichit son vocabulaire.
Is not true !! because there are like 12-14 childrens in the classroom for 60 min of course so she didn’t have time to talk, to make improvisations, there was one day ( it was my last daughter’s day, i didn’t want to waste her time any more) she stay there only looking to another students making their scenes, she didn’t have any oportunity to talk.

J’ai suivi une session d’exploration et j’ai participé à la troupe de théâtre. Ce fut une très belle aventure. Le tarif est raisonnable et les conseils de qualité.

J’ai participé à cour de Théâtre pour Adulte et j’ai vraiment aimé ! J’y retourne pour la prochaine session !

Super. Vraiment sympathique. Nous venons d’assister à une très belle performance des jeunes de 11 à 14 ans.

Wine and Halva is a play that asks: How can friends do justice to each other when they have almost nothing in common?

I thoroughly enjoyed this unique presentation that uses light and dark humor, music, politics, and racism to tell the story of a very unlikely, yet joyful, intimate, and poignant friendship between a gay man and a Turkish woman.

L’Espace la Risée is a small, cozy, and very interesting theatre/performance hall.

Quand on cherche vos événements il ne donne pas la pièce qu’on va voir…le 22 novembre…

Soirée mémorable dans cette salle de spectacle. Ambiance fantastique, performances exceptionnelles. Recommandé !

G-Money … écrit et interprété par Guillaume B. Choquette …une vision caricaturale hilarante, dramatique et très touchante … des rêves d’avenir d’un marginal à la recherche de lui-même !
A ne pas manquer – 29,30,31 janvier … un cadeau à $15.00 !!!

Nice small local theatre with a good choice of plays

Nice and cozy place ! Great show !

Très belle salle de théâtre.
