"FIRST DANCE" CHOREOGRAPHY
TOP RATED #1 WEDDING DANCE
CHOREOGRAPHERS IN THE GTA
Your First Dance is truly a memorable journey. We say 'journey' because at Dance Masters we specialize in story-telling through dance. Your unique story, how you met, how you interact with eachother, it will all be displayed in your special choreography. You choose the music, and we take care of the rest.
Some couples have trouble finding the perfect tune for this monumental moment - we can help. The Key? It has to be authentic to you, so don't Michael Buble when you want to Bon Jovi - stay true to your unique love story!
The First Dance does not have to be a slow dance. It can be a remix of Bachata and Tango, a fun jumpin' jive, a sensual Rumba, or dynamic Viennese Waltz. You will discover a world of opportunities here to create a spectacle your audience will love, and most importantly you both will enjoy!
*Also available: Father-Daughter, Mother-Son dances & Wedding Party flash mob-style.

Julia, Mother of Francesca
My daughter has been attending Dance Masters latin dance classes with Maria Shalvarova for the past 7 years since she was 4 years old. Maria is an amazing teacher! She is demanding yet kind, is exceptionally strong technically, and loves her students. She always strives to make her students to always perform at their personal best. My daughter has participated in a number of competitions and won medals, continues to improve and most importantly, latin dance has helped her grow to be a confident, expressive, lovely young girl who is outgoing, loves to dance and perform. As a parent I also love the comraderie at the school. The students are friendly and helpful to each other and always celebrate each others success and achievements. There is no place like Dance Masters! Maria is amazing! and you should see her move. Her dancing is breathtaking!
Mammone Sisters, Social Dancers
My sisters, brother and cousin decided to dedicate our summer to learning Salsa. Choosing Dance Masters was the best freaking decision we ever made! We were all beginners, and by the end of the summer, Maria instilled enough confidence and choreography to allow us to go social dancing! Maria is patient, down to earth, and makes each class so much fun. Make sure to bring 100% of your effort and passion for dance because she expects nothing less. Totally recommend.
Liora, Latin Dance Student
Maria and Edgars class is great. Being in their classes i can honestly say that They are both wonderful instructors who really care for their students. They both teach very well and make sure that all students are on the same page when it comes to technique and learning the steps for a routine. They are very nice and their teaching makes the class fun, energetic and easy to learn and overall have a good time. It's a pleasure learning from them.
