RE: Adult Tap Dance Classes in Toronto
Dear fellow hoofer,
Has it been forever since you put your tap shoes on?
Have you been looking for a cool tap dance class in Toronto to help brush up your tap skills... so you can hit the floor like you used to?
Well, here's an amazing opportunity! Let me explain...
Ok. You know how it's been a while since you REALLY put your tap shoes to work?
Well, you've probably thought at some point or another "Why is it that here in Toronto, a city of over 4 MILLION people, there aren't enough tap dance classes to take?" We have loads of talent in the GTA, and most of us have taken tap at some point in our lives.
Is it just me? Or do you feel the same way?
Watching Gregory Hines tap dance was what inspired me to start dancing in the first place. It's been a passion of mine for over 25 years.
And I bet it's safe to say since you're reading this page- that tap dance is something YOU'RE passionate about also.
Well, I finally decided enough is enough. I'm literally putting my foot down!
After many frustrating hours scouring the city for available space, I've managed to put together a few awesome tap dance classes happening each and every week.
Interested? Then let me tell you about the...
DANCE BOOGIEPASS!
The easiest, most convenient monthly dance membership for anyone that loves to dance, but has problems committing to a regular routine. Now you have the freedom to tap dance- without missing a beat!
NO MORE wasting time trying to find where to tap dance in Toronto.
NO MORE worrying if you'll enjoy yourself, let alone learn any cool tap moves.
NO MORE spending money on tap dance classes that just didn't make the cut.

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.
You'll get a monthly membership that lets you take unlimited tap dance- AND HIP HOP- at your level and lower for one low monthly fee.
So no matter how many classes you take, it doesn't cost you any more money.

Different Classes to Suit Your Experience Level
A few tap dance students in Toronto
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, tell 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. Here's the levels:
Common Sense Dance Levels
What level are YOU? Select a button below
* 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. So if you like hip hop, your membership gets you free access to those classes too.
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.
Here's The Toronto Tap Dance Schedule
The schedule is ongoing, classes are running right now!
Start anytime. Classes are 75 minutes.
EVERY SATURDAY AFTERNOON
3:15 PM LEVEL TWO
4:30 PM LEVEL THREE
Level ONE (beginner) not available at this time.
Click HERE for my recommended beginner class
Please arrive 15 minutes before class to get changed, share cookies, cake and other treats with your teacher! =)
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.
Here's What Your Membership Costs
(You'll Be Amazed...)
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!
Enjoy UNLIMITED DANCE CLASSES Each 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 would 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.

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.

"If you love to dance, here is your teacher!"
"I have taught alongside Shawn at many workshops and conventions and I must say, he always finishes with having every student in the palm of his hand.
He teaches with an unequalled enthusiasm for his craft and his generosity is well received by all. If you love to dance, here is your teacher!"
- Linda Garneau
Artistic Director

"New combos each class kept me on my toes..."
"The advanced tap classes I participated in each week were fun challenges both physically and mentally.
After having been away from a regular studio dance class for almost a year, getting back into it with your Tap Skool was exactly what I needed for my overall health.
What better way to get rid of the frustrations of every day life than to pound them out on the studio floor making noise to your hearts content and grooving to great new music every week. New combos each class kept me on my toes (literally) and had me working up a sweat in a far more satisfactory way than a gym ever could.
Overall the course was a fun and exciting experience where I got to do what I love (tap) with a great choreographer leading the way with hot music and fast feet. Thanks for it Shawn!"
- Kelly Loftus
Nanaimo, BC
"A fierce charisma that is unparalleled."
"Shawn's tap skills and rhythmic ability rival the top dancers around the world. He is bar-none the best tap dancer that Toronto has to offer. He has the fastest feet, the best rhythms and a fierce charisma that is unparalleled."

Dancing with you these past few months has been a privilege, and I am extremely grateful to have been giving the opportunity to be a part of your tap classes. I know I'm not a great dancer but you have always provided me with enough confidence and encouragement to keep me moving.
Your energetic, fun and exciting personality is what makes you such an amazing teacher and individual. You have helped me develop a greater love for tap dancing and I thank you for it. Can't wait till the next session!!
