We are Ottawa's favourite Latin dance school, specializing in Salsa (New York Style on 2) and Bachata.
We focus on the art of social dancing and aim to to create a passionate community of dancers who inspire and support each other.

After 10 wonderful years, Azucar will be closing its doors permanently at the end of this year. Thank you to everyone who has been part of our dance family over the last decade! We have loved being part of shaping the Ottawa Latin dance community, and part of thousands of individual dance journeys.

Ready to LEVEL UP your Salsa On 2?
If you're curious about our Salsa Level 2 course, but aren't sure which level would suit you, check out our Salsa On 2 syllabus!
Our Level 2 classes assume that you are familiar and comfortable with everything in our Level 1 curriculum. Each session, we select a few moves, techniques and concepts from our Level 2 curriculum and create our lesson plans based on the needs of our students.

Due to an unforeseen situation, we have cancelled tomorrow's classes (Saturday, October 29).
If you had registered for a class, we have refunded your fee, and emailed you. Please check your spam folder if that email is not in your inbox, as overzealous filters sometimes catch some of our outgoing messages.
We can't wait to start our November session next week!

By popular demand, we now have TWO Salsa Level 1 class sessions starting in November:
- Tuesdays, 7-8pm, November 1 to December 20 (currently full)
- Saturdays, 3-4pm, November 5 to December 17
The Tuesday class is currently full and not taking additional registrations, but the Saturday class still has spots open!
If Tuesday is the only time that works for you, we also have a waitlist for that session. We already have several people on the waitlist, but we're happy to add your name in case something opens up at the last minute.
