Your Guide to Dancing with Ogilvie Dance Centre
No partner is required! While couples are always welcome, many of our dancers join on their own. In our group social classes, we rotate partners regularly so everyone gets to dance and meet new people.
We specialize in Modern Ballroom (Waltz, Slow Foxtrot, Quickstep, Tango), Latin American (Cha Cha Cha, Samba, Rumba, Paso Doble, Jive), and New Vogue / Sequence Dancing—including legendary sequence dances created right here by Col Ogilvie.
Wear comfortable, flexible clothing that allows you to move freely. For footwear, smooth-soled shoes (like leather or hard rubber) are ideal so you can glide on the floor. Avoid sticky rubber soles, heavy boots, or flip-flops. Dedicated dance shoes are welcomed but not required for beginners.
Dancing is a lifelong pursuit! We welcome dancers of all ages, from young children taking their first steps to active seniors enjoying social sequence dancing.
Yes! We can choreograph a custom first dance to your chosen song, whether you want a simple, elegant sequence or a fully choreographed routine.
