 Rhythm
and Motion Dance Studio was established in 1995 and offers a full range of high
quality instruction in Argentine Tango, Salsa, Ballroom & Latin and Belly
Dancing. Instruction is provided in the form of group classes, workshops,
semi-private and private lessons. Classes are open to all ages and are available
for different skill levels.
Elizabeth Sadowska is fully certified with the CDTA, (Canadian Dance Teachers Association).
She received many years of formal dance training in both Europe and Canada.
Although trained in ballet, modern and jazz, "partner" dancing has always
been her passion. She competed in many ballroom and Latin dance competitions
at the national and international level.
Her
successes include winning the Ontario Amateur Latin Dance Championships for
4 consecutive years. She competed in the British Open Dance Championships,
the most prestigious dance competition in the world which is held in Blackpool,
England.
She
also resided in Los Angeles where she partnered Robert Cordoba (3 times U.S.
Open Swing champion). While in L.A. she trained with top American coaches
and champions.
Additionally,
she has been featured in a wide spectrum of performances, ranging from international
tours to local shows with many recent salsa and Latin dance champions.
But in 1995 she discovered Argentine Tango which has become her true passion.
She
has taken several extensive trips to Buenos Aires, Argentina where she studied
the art of authentic Argentine Tango and immersed herself in the culture, dance, music and tango. Throughout the years she has studied with many Argentine Tango "maestros". She is well versed in all styles of Argentine Tango including close embrace, open, salon, milonguero and nuevo.
She is not only a fabulous dancer but also an amazing teacher. She's passionate about sharing her knowledge with her students. She is the only one in the city that implemented a structured and progressive Argentine Tango program consisting of six levels. And Rhythm and Motion is the only professional dance studio in the city that offers this kind of program.
There are other classes (usually drop-in) in the city, but are mostly held in the church basements or community halls and not in the professional dance studio.
Elizabeth also understands that practice is absolutely essential to mastering any skill, so she offers a free weekly practica to the registered students.
