DanseSport Club (Follow Max Fomin)

DanseSport Club (Follow Max Fomin) is a 3,200 sq ft Latin ballroom dance studio located on Boulevard Décarie in Montreal. Founded in 2020 by Maxim Fomin, the studio began as a free online project on Facebook and Instagram during the COVID-19 lockdown in April 2020, quickly expanding into a worldwide community that attracted past champions and dance enthusiasts. By September 2020, the operation moved to in-studio lessons with local participants training in person.

The studio teaches five Latin ballroom styles: Cha Cha Cha, Rumba, Samba, Paso Doble, and Jive. Classes are structured in three levels—beginner, intermediate, and advanced—and serve children from 5 years old through to teenagers. Beginner classes focus on fundamental steps and rhythms; intermediate classes refine technique and introduce performance; advanced classes prepare students for competitive dancing with complex routines and focus on expression and style.

Maxim Fomin, the founder, is a professional ballroom dancer and coach with over 30 years of competitive experience. He was North American and Canadian vice-champion, Quebec champion, and has represented Canada at world championships. He brings 20+ years of teaching experience and has trained 500+ students. The studio employs five experienced instructors who specialise in working with children.

The studio offers private one-on-one lessons tailored to each child's goals, group classes for interaction and skill-building, summer dance camps with intensive daily training and end-of-camp performances, and regular performance opportunities through showcases, recitals, and competitions. Flexible scheduling accommodates busy family timetables, and classes are held multiple times a week. The studio serves Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, Brossard, Terrebonne, Repentigny, and surrounding areas.

The physical space features a high-quality hardwood dance floor, full-wall mirrors, a professional sound system, and a bright, comfortable atmosphere. Free parking is available. The studio emphasises building confidence, discipline, coordination, fitness, and social skills through structured training and a supportive, warm environment.
