Montreal’s got some seriously welcoming dance spots, and Rabaterapia is all about making your first experience an absolute blast.

So, You Wanna Take Your First Dance Class in Montreal? Here’s the Scoop:

Booking is a Breeze: First things first, signing up is super easy! Just hop onto our website and check out our schedule. We’ve got all sorts of fun classes like our super popular Pop Funk, the confidence-boosting Heels, the energetic Step Workout, and more! Find a time that works for you and click to book your spot. Easy peasy! Many studios in Montreal, including us, often have introductory offers for new students, so keep an eye out for those!

Walking Through the Door: Alright, you’ve booked your class – awesome! When you arrive at the studio (Rabaterapia is right in the heart of Montreal), you’ll be greeted by our friendly team and probably some other students who are just as excited to move as you are. Don’t worry about knowing anyone, everyone’s there to share the joy of dance! You’ll find a space to leave your belongings and maybe a quick chat area where you can connect with others before class.

The Warm-Up: Getting Those Grooves Ready: Every good dance class starts with a warm-up, and ours are no exception! This is where we get our bodies moving, stretch out those muscles, and get our minds ready to groove. It’s usually a mix of easy movements to get the blood flowing and some gentle stretches to prevent any ouchies. It’s a relaxed and fun way to ease into the more energetic parts of the class.

Learning the Moves (No Pressure, Promise!): Now for the fun part, the dancing! Our amazing instructors are experts at breaking down the steps so that everyone can follow along, even if you’ve never danced a day in your life. They’ll usually demonstrate the moves clearly, repeat them slowly, and offer modifications for different levels. Remember, it’s not about perfection, it’s about having fun and feeling the music! You might feel a little awkward at first, and that’s totally normal! Just laugh it off, keep moving, and trust that you’ll start to pick it up.

Sweaty Fun and Good Vibes: As the music gets going and you start putting the steps together, you’ll feel that energy in the room, it’s contagious! Everyone’s moving, grooving, and having a blast. You’ll probably sweat a little (or a lot!), but you’ll also be smiling and feeling that amazing endorphin rush. The atmosphere at Rabaterapia and many other inclusive dance spaces in Montreal is all about support and encouragement. No one’s judging your moves, we’re all just there to enjoy the rhythm and have a good time together.

Cooling Down and Feeling Awesome: Just like the warm-up, the end of class is important too! We’ll guide you through some cool-down stretches to help your body recover and prevent any stiffness. This is also a great time to take a deep breath and appreciate how good you feel after moving your body and having some fun!
