Discover the joy of dance

GNR Dance offers dance lessons in Squamish as a joyful, connected, and uplifting practice. Our partner dancing work focuses on West Coast Swing and also offers Fusion, Salsa, Bachata, Jive, and select Ballroom, Latin, Swing, and Country dances. We provide professional and welcoming instruction through private lessons, group classes, and guided experiences, including wedding first dances. You do not need a partner to participate, and dancers are welcome to join as a lead or a follow. Our approach values curiosity, presence, and enjoyment of the learning process, supporting confidence, connection, and ease both on and off the dance floor.
