What can I say?!! I have been dancing at DTL for little over a year now and LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!
What brought me here? What keeps me coming? Why I recommend the studio to everyone I know? ... PAULA!!!!!!
I am a 50+ former Figure Skater/coach who hung up the Blades to open a retail business in Calgary. I was missing the camaraderie and exercise and creativity at the rink but didn't have the time to commit to skating . Along comes Ms Paula Callihoo and her DTL studio.

Paula is an energetic, enthusiastic Dance Coach who is passionate about dance, fitness, and life balance. She understands that not all of us have a dance background and encourages all of us to "dance through life" .

DTL offers a great variety of dance disciplines and fitness classes . Who doesn't want to expose our " inner" ballerina, or sexy burlesque queen!! At DTL we all get to experiment with classes and discover hidden desires and talents.

Paula chooses her dance Instructors carefully and I can see that they all share her vision of providing the space and the tools to keep adults dancing, no matter what age! Yes you can be a beginner Burlesque dancer at 70 or a Hip Hopper at 50! What about a 40 year old Ballerina? Or a 20 something African dancer! Dance through life has given me the opportunity to get fit, be creative, and "let it all hang out" with out any insecurities or hesitation.

DTL has become part of my daily routine and I absolutely hate missing a class!
Paula has a "diamond" and although I hate to share my secret.... Everyone should give DTL a try 'cause one class and you will be hooked !!!!

I am a 40ish year old single mom of two, with very little time that I am able to dedicate to myself. Joining up with Dance Through Life has allowed me to do just that.... Dance Through Life!. It is what I like to call my happy place. The instructors give you so much encouragement and help that the learning how to dance comes easily.

I've been training at Dance Through Life for the past two years. Vanessa teaches a hip-hop class that is fast paced, energetic and a lot of fun. In Vanessa's lyrical class, she is very good at providing additional pointers to help students refine their technique. I've been impressed with the quality of instruction at Dance Through Life, as each instructor creates a positive and encouraging environment for students to reach their potential!

"I have been taking Canadian Step Dancing classes at Dance Through Life since it opened and prior to that with Paula at another location. I didn’t have any prior dance experience when I started so it was a bit of a shocker to get those feet moving correctly. From personal experience I know not everyone is born with coordination and sometimes it is harder when you are starting out as an adult. But after lots of instruction and practice, I’ve moved from beginner to advanced and am now comfortable performing on my own and with the Step’N Up dance group she runs.

I highly recommend the studio. The instructors are all awesome and supportive, the floors are great and there are many different dance styles and levels to choose from if one isn’t right for you. I don’t enjoy jogging anytime or cycling outside in the winter and exercise machines are boring. Dancing is fun and challenges the mind while offering excellent cardio and toning. Seriously, if I can learn to dance as an adult, so can you, just stick with it, I intend to. So much still to learn and so much fun!"
