Our Story: A Fusion of Passion and Community

It all began in the fall of 2004, following a road trip to Montreal that sparked a simple yet profound idea. This idea, nurtured with passion and dedication, blossomed into the dynamic and inclusive Flying Dance Community (FDComm).

At FDComm, our mission extends beyond just teaching dance steps. We are dedicated to enriching lives through the power of dance, fostering a community that celebrates cultural diversity and understanding. Our approach is not only about learning to dance but also about creating an environment that nurtures physical health, emotional well-being, and social connections ~ just being comfortable in your own shoes.

Throughout our crazy two-decade journey, we have had the privilege of witnessing and contributing to the personal transformations of our students. Our role transcends that of mere dance instructors; we have become friends, mentors, and integral parts of each other’s lives, celebrating every victory and moving together in rhythm.

Our dance style offerings have been as diverse as our community over the many years. Starting from the vibrant beats of Salsa and expanding to include an array of dances such as Bachata, West Coast Swing, Flamenco, African Beats & Afro Cuban Dances, Argentine Tango, Waltz, Foxtrot, Cha Cha, Rumba, Kizomba, Zouk, and Merengue. Whether it’s through our online instructional classes or our engaging in-person group lessons, we offer a platform for growth, diversity, and personal development.

We currently offer the following dance styles to suit various interests and skill levels of our students. Our selection includes

  1. the lively and passionate rhythms of Salsa and Bachata,
  2. the smooth and sophisticated moves of West Coast Swing,
  3. a dedicated performance group for both Bachata and Salsa enthusiasts. 
  4. a unique experience with Casino Rueda, known for its dynamic and interactive group format (above image),
  5. Island Dance Fitness, combines fun, energy, and the spirit of island dances.

 

These classes are taught in the following formats

  1. Progressive group lessons in person to build skills step by step,
  2. Private, wedding, and semi-private/wedding group lessons for personalized attention,
  3. Workshop dance series to deepen your understanding ~ advanced workshops,
  4. Social dance outreach events including intro drop-in lessons and social dance gatherings,
  5. Dance performance training series for those wanting to take their skills to the stage ~ level 3 and up,
  6. An online Salsa and Bachata course complementing our group lessons, and
  7. A 6-month Salsa and Bachata instructor dance course for those who aspire to teach.
  8. Our social events, like #FNSF and Moonlight Dancing, are not just events; they are a celebration of our vibrant community, marking the joy and connections made on and off the dance floor.

 

FDComm is more than a dance community; it’s a journey, a lifestyle, a family united by the universal language of dance. Join us to dance, make friends, and create unforgettable memories. Let’s keep the rhythm going together!
