Canadian Dance History - The Beginning
Long before the arrival of transatlantic explorers, dance was an important
part of the ritual, religious and social life of Canada's aboriginal
peoples. The earliest written record of dancing in Canada is found in the
diaries of Jacques Cartier. He wrote in 1534 of being approached, along the
shore of Chalem Bay, by 7 canoes bearing "wild men ... dancing and making
many signs of joy and mirth." In their journals, those who came after
Cartier made frequent reference to Native dance.
Under the impact of centuries of colonization and immigration, Canada's
indigenous peoples retained a tenuous hold on their once rich dance
heritage. Given the often hostile indifference of European settlers to the
Aboriginal cultures they disrupted and displaced, and the very different
directions in which dance developed in the settler cultures, it was
inevitable that indigenous dance forms would have little impact on the later
development of dance in Canada. However, by the end of the 20th century, the
established and evolving tradition of indigenous dance performance was an
important element of the culture of many of Canada's Aboriginal communities.
The modern history of dance in Canada begins with the implanting of European
culture from the 16th century onward. The French, and later the British,
brought with them their own social dances but, despite the presence from the
mid-18th century of local dancing teachers in Canada's principal colonial
settlements, theatrical presentations of dance were generally imported.

Toronto Dance School
A Academy of Ballroom & Latin Dancing
We are devoted to providing a genuine and reliable service to
all, who aspire to dance. Our aim is to make Ballroom Dancing
and Latin dancing attainable and accessible to EVERYONE. Our
dedication to cultivating good, knowledgeable dancers, whether
for social, competitive or professional purposes, is
unprecedented.
Remember no one was born a dancer, we all had to learn. This
type of dancing is an entertaining, invigorating and challenging
way to get in shape, gain self-confidence and socialise with
others because it is a partnership oriented art/sport. The old
saying: "It takes two to Tango." is definitely true when
Ballroom and Latin dancing are in question. As the initials of
our school so proficiently intonate (aabl= able), we firmly
believe that everyone is aabl (able) 2 dance, if he/she chooses
to.
