Welcome!

To the Vancouver Academy of Ballroom Dance!

Where YOU Can Learn to Dance Like the Teachers Do…

If you really want to learn to dance the right way, you’ve come to the right place!

How would it feel to never doubt if you’re “doing it right” ever again?

Become the best Dancer that you can be, the best Teacher that you can be, or do both at the same time!

Only a love of dance is required; no previous experience necessary!

The Vancouver Academy of Ballroom Dance (VABD) is the first and only Ballroom Dance Training in Vancouver offering Diane Jarmalow’s internationally recognized and respected Ballroom Dance Teacher Training (BDTT) Program.

The Program consists of four 4-month long quarters in which Trainees and Teacher Trainees learn a total of 16 dances in the American Smooth, American Rhythm and Nightclub Styles.

Trainees who want to learn how to dance and become the best Dancer they can be can take our Ballroom Dance Training Program.  Teacher Trainees who want to do the same, and learn how to teach, can take our Ballroom Dance Teacher Training Program, the same course with a few additions!

Both Trainees and Teacher Trainees alike benefit by gaining a thorough and complete knowledge of the musical, technical and partnership elements of each dance.  Additionally, Teacher Trainees will learn how to teach both Private and Group Classes, will take regular exams, and will prepare for full Bronze Certification by DVIDA.

Diane Jarmalow’s BDTT Program is known as the easiest, most effective way to learn how to dance and how to teach dance.  This ensures that the training you receive will contribute to your being a knowledgeable, experienced and well-respected dancer and/or teacher.

Students can choose to start the Program at the beginning of any quarter, and may choose to complete as few or as many quarters as they like.  This allows you to learn to dance and or teach in any one preferred style.  It also allows you to take the Program part time or full time, beginning the next quarter of the Program whenever your schedule allows.

We also offer avenues for Students to both practice their new skills and allow their talent to shine!  At the end of each quarter, Trainees and Teacher Trainees meet at local venues to do what they love most ~ DANCE!
