Making it fun to learn
Dancing should be fun, and it should be great fun to learn. George and Wendy Pytlik, the teachers of these Delta-based introductory ballroom dance group classes, provide a fresh and enjoyable environment that makes learning a time of laughter and lightness.
Unlike other studios, you get not one but two professionally certified teachers sharing their knowledge in a comfortable, easy-to-learn format. They are also available to partner with those who don’t have a partner, so you’ll never miss out on learning the step patterns, even if you come to classes as a single.
The Delta Dance Level 1 ballroom dance program is a 12-week series covering seven different dances. The program repeats all year. You can join any time as long as it’s week 1 of a new dance, so you don’t have to wait until the 12 weeks are over!
Who is it for?
This program is perfect if you’ve never danced before, if you’ve danced but never had formal training, or even if you’re an experienced dancer but it’s been many years and you need a refresher.
Most participants repeat the program until they’re comfortable with the steps. Then, if you wish, you can move up to the Intermediate program. No pressure! Many people are satisfied with the basic steps, while others like to take it further.
Dance classes shouldn’t be filled with pressure to perform. There’s enough pressure in life! Dance classes should let you get away from all that pressure and just relax with someone special.
What you’ll learn
The course gives you a total of seven dances from two genres. They include:
- Cha Cha (2 weeks)
- Foxtrot (1 week)
- Salsa (2 weeks)
- Tango (1 week)
- Jive (2 weeks)
- Rumba (1 week)
- Waltz (3 weeks)
You’ll learn enough basic ballroom dance steps to feel comfortable on any dance floor, especially if you practice what you learn in between the weekly sessions.

The Level 1 program is available only at our Surrey location on the border of North Delta and Surrey. Classes take place Saturday mornings from 10:00am to 11:15am. Check our calendar to see which dance is coming up next.
