Steps Dance Studio

Last reviewed: August 2, 2026. Business status: Active.

Steps Dance Studio is an active Toronto dance school offering private wedding dance lessons Toronto couples can use to prepare a first dance or a wedding-party routine. Its official website confirms custom choreography based on the clients’ selected music and dance genre, with options for couples and bridal parties.

The studio is especially associated with Salsa and Bachata, but its private-lesson menu also names Ballroom, Cha Cha Cha, Latin Hustle, Merengue, West Coast Swing, Hip Hop, Kizomba and several other styles. Wedding clients can begin with a free half-hour choreography consultation before choosing a prepaid package.

This profile was last reviewed on August 2, 2026. The official website is current and contains wedding-specific services and prices, although conflicting address blocks mean couples should verify the studio entrance before travelling.

Services and specialization

Steps offers custom choreography for a couple’s first dance. The instructor works with the couple’s chosen music and preferred dance genre, and the studio says the service is suitable for people who have never danced before. Private lessons are tailored to the students’ goals and pace.

The private-lessons page also confirms instruction for small groups and wedding parties. Its style list includes Salsa on 1 and on 2, Bachata, Ballroom, Cha Cha Cha, Latin Hustle, Merengue, West Coast Swing, Casino Rueda, Kizomba, Hip Hop and other disciplines. This range may help couples whose song does not fit one particular Latin style.

• Custom first-dance choreography
• Couple and bridal-party packages
• Private or semi-private instruction
• Multiple Latin, ballroom and contemporary dance styles
• Free introductory wedding consultation

Wedding performances and event options

Steps also advertises event dance performances, professional dance instruction for event attendees and wedding choreography and performances. Its performance menu names Salsa, Bachata, Cha Cha, Latin Hustle, Cuban Salsa, Samba and belly dancing among the possible styles.

The hire page does not publish wedding performance packages, performer counts, show lengths or travel boundaries. Couples interested in reception entertainment should request a written quote that distinguishes performer fees from choreography lessons and identifies any venue, sound or floor requirements.

• Amateur and professional dancers are advertised for events
• Interactive dance instruction can be arranged for attendees
• Performance pricing is quote-based
• Exact wedding performance format must be confirmed

Service area and who it may suit

The confirmed physical operation is in Toronto. The official pages do not define a broader mobile service area, so there is not enough evidence to claim that lessons or performers are available throughout the Greater Toronto Area.

This service may suit couples who want structured, in-person preparation for a choreographed first dance, especially those considering Salsa, Bachata or another partner-dance style. The bridal-party option may also suit couples planning a group reception routine. Clients needing instruction at home, online lessons or performers outside Toronto should ask whether those arrangements are available.

• Toronto-based studio instruction
• Beginner-friendly wedding choreography is explicitly offered
• Suitable for couples or wedding parties
• Travel and off-site coverage are not published

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

Documented features include a free wedding consultation, choreography built around the couple’s song and genre, published couple and bridal-party packages, and a broad list of teachable styles. Private lessons are described as tailored to the client’s goals, while the wedding consultation covers the proposed theme, dance level and basic steps.

The main practical limitation is inconsistent location information. The contact panel identifies 889 Yonge Street, Toronto, ON M4W 2H2, while older footer and hire-page blocks identify 819 Yonge Street, Toronto, ON M4W 2G9. Consequently, no address is presented as verified in this profile. The website also does not publish wedding availability, an off-site service radius or detailed performance logistics.

• Song- and genre-specific choreography
• Free half-hour wedding consultation
• Separate couple and bridal-party options
• Conflicting official address information
• Availability and performer logistics require confirmation

Pricing

The official private-lessons page lists a free 30-minute wedding choreography consultation.

Bridal Party Wedding Choreography starts at $2,400 for 10 prepaid lessons, with five additional lessons listed at $1,350.

The same page says regular private lessons are 55 minutes, but couples should confirm the duration of each wedding-package lesson rather than assume it is identical.

Confirm taxes, package inclusions, expiry terms and the policy applying specifically to wedding bookings before paying.

• Wedding consultation: free for 30 minutes
• Couple choreography: from $1,200 for 10 prepaid lessons
• Five additional couple lessons: $650 prepaid

Contact and booking

Couples can call 416-656-STEP (416-656-7837) or email info@stepsdancestudio.com. The private-lessons page directs prospective clients to complete an inquiry form, create a Mindbody profile and then select a package. The hire page also invites event clients to contact the studio for a quote.

Do not rely on the legacy address without confirmation. Because the official site currently displays both 889 and 819 Yonge Street in different locations, ask the studio which address and entrance apply to the consultation or lesson. Couples should also verify appointment time, instructor, package price and cancellation terms in the booking confirmation.

• Phone: 416-656-7837
• Email: info@stepsdancestudio.com
• Private-lesson inquiry form available on the official website
• Current street address should be confirmed directly

What couples should confirm

Use the initial inquiry and free consultation to establish how complex the routine should be, which dance style fits the selected song and how many lessons the instructor recommends. Discuss attire or footwear restrictions, rehearsal time between appointments and whether music editing is needed.

Before booking, obtain written confirmation of the current studio address, lesson duration, instructor assignment, total price with HST, payment schedule, cancellation policy and package expiry. Bridal parties should confirm the number of participants covered. For reception performances, ask about dancer count, set length, travel fees, floor dimensions, sound requirements, changing space and what happens if the event schedule changes.

• Current address and entrance
• Number and duration of lessons
• Instructor and dance style
• Total cost, HST and payment terms
• Package expiry and cancellation rules
