Hey kids, I might be planning a trip to Montreal in June (pending time can be booked off from work) from the 20th to the 25th. I live in Halifax which has some great local instructors, but otherwise there aren't a lot of resources. My ideal agenda would involve some drop-in classes with great local Montreal instructors, and some serious shopping (I'm in the market for some nice high-heeled dance shoes-I've never fitted for ballroom dance shoes before so I'm keen to try for fit before I buy rather than just order online according to a size chart, would maybe like to do some fabric shopping too). I'd also like to see some good local dancing too.
So what's the scene like in Montreal? Is it worth getting off my lazy east-coast duff and onto a plane? I've been doing a bit of googling but would really appreciate some advice from locals. Would any Montrealers here at the forum consider a meet-up for any of this stuff? Or heck, if any of you are teaching in Montreal, let me know what you do- I would be keen to drop-in to your class or take a private class if you can offer me anything I can't get local in Halifax!
ETA: For what it's worth, I've got the pricing for private and semi-private lessons with Aziza. Are any two other people here on the forum interested in doing a semi-private lesson or two with Aziza? I won't re-post the pricing I've been given as I'm presuming that it's only available upon request because that's the way they like it, but if anybody fancies it I'm happy to share in a private message or e-mail.
