Re: Adult Hip Hop Classes in Toronto
Dear hip hop dance lover,
Let me ask you a question... What would you do if you could drop in to a hip hop class anytime you wanted to?
What if every time you got bit by the “dance bug”, you could just get up and go take your favourite class?
Wouldn’t that be awesome?
You could literally wake up tomorrow morning and say “Yo, I have my afternoon free. I think I’ll take so-and-so’s hip hop dance class today.”
You wake up, hop in the shower (wash the crusties from your eyes), put on your clothes, eat your Wheaties and off you go to your favourite class. No planning in advance, just get up and go.
And what if when you show up, you DON’T have to bring cash? You could literally leave your wallet at home.
Wouldn’t that be frickin’ sweet?
If any of this even remotely grabs your attention, you’re gonna love what this page teaches you. Please don’t pee your pants when you read the good news…
Ok, before I tell you what the fuss is all about, here’s why you should take me seriously:
I’m an award-winning dance choreographer, performer and instructor (Gemini Award Nominee, Dora Award Winner).
I’m director of a tap and hip hop dance company (Funk Factory & Thrive Entertainment) and I perform in movies and television (Hairspray, Blues Brothers 2000, Bojangles, Royal Canadian Air Farce, Slings & Arrows, Rita McNeill Show).
I’ve been featured on the news (The National on CBC, Breakfast Television, Much Music, YTV, Rogers Television, Sun TV, LIFE Network) and written up in The National Post, Toronto Star, The Globe And Mail, Toronto Sun, Now Magazine, EYE Magazine, Dance Current and numerous other publications and radio shows. More info
As an instructor, I’ve been teaching dance classes for well over 15 years, both nationally throughout BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Quebec and Ontario; and internationally in the USA, Israel and Scotland.
I’ve literally offered hundreds of classes, and taught thousands of students. I’ve also brought iin some of the most incredible teachers for other classes I offer.
And the result? Some pretty good times! I’ve actually received dozens of comments from people just like you...
You make each one of us feel appreciated and confident...
I really really really enjoyed your classes these past 8 weeks, and I want to do it again. You're one of the best teachers I know, and I admire your teaching methods. You make each one of us feel appreciated and confident. Every time I get out of your class, I feel refreshed and energized. 75 minutes goes by way too fast in your class! Thank you for being the teacher that you are. :)" - Melissa Kelly, Melissa Kelly Dance Academy, Timmins
By the time you play the music the dancers already know how to move to it...
- Gerard Reyes, Montreal
You never get frustrated with your dancers...
Just wanted to thank you for the best dance classes in Toronto, and your fun and energetic attitude. There is never a dull moment in your tap or hip hop classes. You never get frustrated with your dancers and you are such a positive and amazing person. Your choreography is always fun and original. So thanks again!" - Sarah Quinn, Toronto
Thank you for being such an awesome teacher...
I just wanted to thank you for being such an awesome teacher and wonderful person. Over the past 12 weeks I realized how much I missed dancing and how much I love hip hop. I just wanted to tell you that you are an amazing teacher and choreographer with a fun and energetic attitude that gets everyone to participate and have fun. Keep up the good work and well done." - Michelle Sturino
I have become a lot more confident in myself and my talent...
When I met Shawn, I was transitioning from being a full time competitive student at a really great studio, to someone who just wanted to keep dancing. Shawn not only gave me somewhere to do that, he has also enhanced the training I already had by giving me some new and creative choreography and technique, as well as, and this is the best part, showing me how to let go of the training to let the style and the moves I had within, come out. With Shawn's help, I have become a lot more confident in myself and my talent, and I have been inspired time and time again to continue to use my dance experience. Thanks Shawn B, you're one of the best!!!" - Laura Radcliffe, Mississauga
I always end up having a great time... "Shawn, I just wanted to say thank you for always hosting such fun and energetic classes. Unlike some other dance classes, I always end up having a great time in yours. Cheers Shawn and thanks again. See you next weekend." - Niky Johnson
I'm So Pumped Right Now! "WOW! What a Crazy High Energy Class. I've never worked so hard in that amount of time before. I loved it and I looked forward to doing more. I'm So Pumped Right Now!" - Domenica Ruscica
My friends have noticed a difference... "I watched my younger sister week after week learn the artistry of hip hop dancing. I decided to give it a go myself and found out about Shawn B's class. The class has surpassed all my expectations. It is undeniably enjoyable. Shawn is able to bring a great level of unruly energy to the class that is heightened by his charisma. He creates a great vibe within the class, intensifying the FUN factor. Not only that, but my friends have noticed a difference in my step on the dance floor when we go out for a night on the town." - Voula Kosmopoulos |
Now about that fuss. I’m gonna be honest with you, this is potentially The Next Big Thing.
Just like you, I've always wanted a place where I can dance, but I know how frustrating it can be to make a solid, week to week commitment to something.
Our lives are so busy. Things change last minute, and it's sometimes hard to predict what's gonna change from one day to the next.
Now, when it comes to dance classes, NEVER in my dancing history have I come across a dance system like the one I’m sharing with you today. It’s actually not a new idea, but the system has never been put to use from a dance perspective.
Well, what you’re about to learn is “The Next Big Thing” in how you attend hip hop classes. Check it out…

** Heads up, I won’t be teaching every single class myself. I’m not Superman! (Really, I'm not! Read my bio). There are times when other professional work pulls me away from class.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Plus, if I taught every single class I’d be totally burnt out in a week… and that won’t inspire you much now, will it?
I’d have no energy, no great ideas, no enthusiasm. And I wouldn’t be a fun guy for anybody- except as target practice for people who like to throw tomatoes. =)

See? It's all about sweat, hard work... and FUN up in herre!
Listen, there’s more. Lots more.
Ever heard about this “fad” called “exercise”? C’mon, I’m sure you have… But are you doing enough about it?
What The Health Experts Are Saying...
- World Health Organization, 2004
- Report: "Exercise: A Program You Can Live With",
- MyFit.ca
- Men's Health.com, October 2007 |
I know how tough it can be sometimes to keep ourselves in shape. Even I haven't been working to my full potential. We all WANT to look our best, and feel great about our bodies and our health.
In fact, many of us are generally attracted to people that take care of their bodies, and appreciate a healthy lifestyle- whether that be eating the right foods, maintaining healthy habits or keeping fit with exercise.
Don’t you love it when people think you look great?
Don’t you love it when people TELL YOU that you look great?
I know it brightens my day, and gives me a little confidence boost (especially those days when you don’t FEEL too hot) when a friend asks “hey, have you been working out?”
And you’re like “Really? Thanks!”

Dancing will help you easily tone up and strengthen your muscles- and get those exact same compliments from your peers.
Plus, it’s an excellent alternative to hitting the gym. Chances are you've had (or currently have) a gym membership.
But how many of us actually USE THEM on a regular basis? We always start out great, but don’t always make it to the finish line.
Ever had a New Year’s resolution?
We say “THIS will be the year. I’m gonna hit the gym and get into shape. I’m SERIOUS this time.” We spend so much money with the right intentions of going regularly… then let that hard-earned money slip out of our wallets month after month.
By the time summer hits, we’ve lost focus. We don’t have any more inspiration.
To make things worse, we’re STILL paying! That's money we all kiss good-bye, just because there's nothing to help us stay motivated or get into a routine.
But my friend, there’s good news…
With the BOOGIEPASS, your body can feel awesome. You'll see exciting improvements in your breathing, your stamina, and your overall health. You’ll be more alert. You’ll feel more confident. You’ll sleep better at night.
And to top it off, you’ll always be in a totally FUN environment that will keep you focused, motivated and on track toward your fitness goals, week after week!
Listen, I’m not a doctor. I’m not a personal trainer. I don’t know the latest advances in medical and health technologies.
But I DO know that getting enough exercise to have a healthy body is totally achievable. Let's team up, and help each other stay in shape.
By the way, “exercise” doesn’t have to mean “boring.” If you’re looking to burn calories, try our fun, energetic, cardio hip hop dance workouts. It just might be the only body-trimming fix you’ll ever need!
Check out some more benefits your class will offer:

Work the largest muscle in your body- your heart- and decrease your chances of getting blood clots, strokes or heart problems
Increase the efficiency of your digestive system, which may reduce your chances of colon cancer
Improve your posture! The warm up exercises alone will help you to stand tall, sit up straight and finally stop slouching like a hunchback
Work on showing off your sexy "six pack". Tone up your stomach muscles and increase your core strength
Strengthen your thighs, hamstrings and calf muscles so your legs don't feel as weak and tired- and improve the stability in your knees
Tone up those butt muscles- and give those "cheeks" an all-round bootylicious, head-turning shape up
Feel more desirable and attractive, and feel confident about your physical appearance. Go ahead and stop traffic with your sexy body!
Make your breathing easier! Dance helps you to take bigger breaths and fill your lungs, which improves lung capacity
Firm up your breasts- Yes ladies, dance helps firm up your skin tissue, so you can get extra lift and perkiness. No Wonder!
Unconsciously lose some extra pounds, while you sweat and groove to the music your body will burn calories and unwanted fat
Increase your blood circulation throughout your entire body- keeping your cells healthier and eliminate cellular waste quicker
Improve your memory and mental well being, and you’ll find it easier to retain more information and reduce stress
Improve your skin tone, texture and appearance- allow your skin’s pores to breathe and glow (and clear up those blemishes)
Feel more alert and energized from the extra oxygen to your brain. Now you can fully focus on those everyday tasks
Finally fall asleep faster! Get some rest at the end of the day, improve sleeping patterns and wake up recharged from a deep, full night’s slumber
So if you want to sweat, and you’re ready to take your health seriously, but you’re tired of...
“Waiting for that jackass to finally get off the elliptical trainer because clearly he’s using it for more than 25 minutes, and OMG he’s not even [beep]ing SWEATING...”
Method to workout… this should really be a no-brainer!
You probably have a few concerns by now, like "Well, I'm not a dancer... is this right for me?"
Or how about "I haven't danced in [x] years... I'm intimidated by how hard this looks."
To answer your questions, telll me if you've been through this: Ever been in a class where it’s labeled as OPEN?
That’s where dancers from all experience levels and all walks of life jump in the same room at the same time, and try to learn something.
Now I don’t know about you, but if I put a blind man, a sumo wrestler, my grandma, your dog and a fifth grader on Smarties all in the same boxing class with Sylvester Stallone and yelled GO! ...we’d have one hell of a mess!
If you’ve ever been in a similar situation, you probably already know that it DOESN’T WORK.
Any environment where you have people from all walks of life, with different levels of training, will get frustrating real quick. Think about it: would you put a 6th Grade basketball team on court with NBA players?
If you’re an experienced dentist, would you partner up a new office with someone who’s never studied dentistry?
Would you perform with Madonna or Alicia Keys, without taking vocal lessons? C'mon, it just takes a bit of common sense. It wouldn’t work in real life, and it won’t work in dance.

That's why we do things differently. With your BOOGIEPASS membership, there's a few, "common-sense" levels to choose from.
It doesn't matter if you've NEVER danced before, if you USED to dance and you're a little rusty, or if you're trying to make dance your FULL TIME PROFESSION. The way we have things set up, there's a class filled with positive energy waiting for you!
COMMON SENSE DANCE CLASS LEVELSWhat level are you? Select a button below |
Remember, it doesn't matter what dance experience you have (or don't have), there’s always a class for you!
* GOOD NEWS * One membership allows you to take hip hop AND tap, if you're skilled in both. One membership = UNLIMITED dance classes at your level or lower! That's it.
It's A Shame For You Not To Dance As Much As You Want - When So Many People Do It So Easily
Now seriously, stop right here. I want you to TRUST your gut instincts for just a minute. Let’s justify everything so far.
You love to dance. Yes?
That's a plain fact that I'm sure isn't a surprise to you, right? Because if you really weren't interested in dancing more, you wouldn't still be reading this.
And let's assume everything you're reading on this page sounds pretty frickin' appealing... Am I right about you so far?
If so, then you need to take action today. Get your membership Today. Not because I said so, but because YOUR OWN INSTINCTS are giving you the thumbs up.
And if you’ve ever needed an excuse to do something new, here it is on a silver platter!

All classes are at Goodlife Fitness: 250 Yonge Street, 5th floor, above Roots in the Eaton Centre. These are not a part of Goodlife's membership. Contact the gym for info on their programs.
Classes are conveniently located right in the downtown core of Toronto, and are so easy to get to by transit.
Take the train and exit at Dundas Station. The entrance (250 Yonge) is just south of ROOTS. It looks like an office building. Take the ELEVATOR to the 5th floor.
Anything you say? Well, I'd try to stay away from anything that looks "dancerish"... no bodysuits, leotards, legwarmers, jazz shoes etc.
We don't live in the 80's anymore. Put your "REAL" clothes on.
If you don't know what to wear, dress baggy, loose and comfortable. You're a funky dresser in real life, so bring your fashion to class.

My Scotland hip hop students showin' how it's done
Yes it's ok to come looking like you're in a music video, or going out
to party with your friends. Come with your hot style, and
we'll all have a great time.
Sure, you can wear a hat! Like I said, wear what you want, as long as you can dance comfortably in it.
Just make sure you have some comfy and CLEAN running shoes. Note the word "CLEAN". Bring your shoes in a bag, or we'll make you clean the floor with a toothbrush.
Remember, you'll be sweaty after, so bring a towel and a change of clothes. There's a large changeroom and showers conveniently located on site, so you can freshen up after.
Take a mental look through your closet right now and see what outfits you can come up with. Be creative. It's HIP HOP, so have some fun!
There's no more reason to wonder what hip hop class to take, when to get involved, or where to get yo' dance on. You'll always know where it's at.
With all the tricks, techniques and funky styles you will learn, you'll be excited to show them off at home, in the club or with your friends. Go ahead, make them jealous.
You will see for yourself why so many people enjoy the incredible time spent in these classes, and why we enjoy each and every minute we’re dancing with you.
And if you look or listen for it, you will find a gem of wisdom to take away from each class. You need to know that being in these dance classes will enrich your life.
Take a minute to think about everything you'll be learning. Take this moment to really think about how much you love dancing.
What's all that worth to YOU? Here's the math:
If you really want top quality instruction, want a great dance experience and want to receive all the benefits I've described earlier, I personally charge a minimum of $99 PER HOUR for private, one-on-one coaching. Some people are just more comfortable with private lessons, and that's fine.
So to hire me privately, for just two classes, I would invoice you $198 dollars.
But what if you wanted to dance every week? For one month of classes, just once a week, would cost you over $396 dollars. Whoa!
And that's not including tax, or renting a studio space. Even at that rate, my private students have all left with huge smiles on their faces every time, and thought the time spent with me was worth every single penny.
I'm NOT telling you these numbers to brag, but just to show you how much value you're getting in each session.
But I understand not everyone can afford that... so here's my offer to you:
If you're willing to settle and be in an energetic, safe and fun GROUP setting, with other cool people just like you- you'll get a BOOGIEPASS membership for UNLIMITED DANCE CLASSES at the same level for only $79 per month!
GOOD NEWS! One membership allows you to take hip hop AND tap, if you're skilled in both.
One membership = UNLIMITED dance classes at YOUR LEVEL OR LOWER. So if you're a level 2 student, you can take ALL Level 2 classes, AND ALL Level 1 classes.
Don't you think that's amazing? All the students who are taking advantage of this deal right now sure think so!You'll invest a measly $79 per month to learn from my excellent staff and myself. The value you're getting is incredible- because to hire any one of us individually could run your bank account dry.
Payment is safe and simple: it's automatically charged to your PayPal account or credit card of choice. Cancel whenever you want.
What's even better... you can grab your spot directly online, right here on this page... without the hassles of showing up to a studio and filling out a ton of paperwork.
Plus, no waiting for a package in the mail. Just show up, we'll already have you on the list.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Reality Check: If you're just looking for a "quick fix" one time visit every few months or so, and then want to complain that you're not improving... this isn't the place for you.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
But if you want a team of experts to help you improve your skills week after week, help build your confidence, keep you looking and feeling your best, and will "rock your world"... then the BOOGIEPASS is perfect for you!
Such a small investment to make, to get so much. Everything in life should be this easy.
On a personal note, I have a much bigger picture planned for my dance class program (I'll tell you about it in class) and I truly need your help to achieve some of my goals.
I'm proud to let you know that I'm the only instructor in the country that offers this. And, I believe in integrity- where people put their money where their mouth is.
So here's what I'm gonna do. Because I really want to increase the turnout of each class, and in order to secure your trust, I'm going to give you something you won't find anywhere else:
Canada's Only 100%, No Drama, Money Back Dance Class Guarantee Dance as much as possible in that time. If for any reason, you find that this membership isn't perfect for you, just let us know any time after those 60 days and I'll refund you every cent. It's as simple as that. There's absolutely no risk to you. This is how I wish people would do business with me. I can’t be any fairer.
|
So, what's important now is: What's important to you?
The pure pleasure of being a confident dancer?
Learning to move well in the nightclub?
The peace of mind knowing you're doing something positive for your health?
The recognition?
Whatever it is, stop wishing, and make it happen.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
My friend, now YOU need to make a choice.
I made a decision to live my life through dance, and wonderful things have unfolded for me because of it. I don't expect you to make this your career, but I do want you to live in the moment, love, laugh, and enjoy life!
I truly hope to see your membership soon and meet you in class. Click the link below that corresponds to your membership level, and let's create some great moments.
Sincerely,
- Shawn Byfield
