Latin Groove Dance and Fitness

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!
