About this studio
FitNDance Montreal offers private Ballroom and Latin dance lessons tailored to individuals, couples, teens (7+), and families. Run by Sergei E. Elimanov, an instructor with over 30 years of experience who began dancing at age four and turned professional by 17, the studio specializes in personalized coaching across multiple styles and skill levels.
The teaching approach is structured and progressive. Each lesson is adapted to your level, pace, and goals, moving through four phases: assessment of your current level and comfort, foundation-building of posture, rhythm, and timing, coordination development of balance and partner connection, and finally expression of confidence and musicality. This system replaces random group-class learning with clear progression designed for consistent improvement.
Sergeï teaches American Smooth (Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot, Viennese Waltz), American Rhythm (Cha-Cha, Rumba, East Coast Swing, Bolero, Mambo), International Standard (Waltz, Tango, Viennese Waltz, Foxtrot, Quickstep), International Latin (Cha-Cha, Samba, Rumba, Paso Doble, Jive), Social & Dance Club Styling (including Salsa, Bachata, and Hustle), and wedding dance choreography. He is affiliated with the Canadian DanceSport Federation, World ProAm DanceSport Series, and SOCAN, and holds certifications as a Pro-Am Ballroom and Latin coach and choreographer.
Programs include introductory private lessons, one-on-one instruction, semi-private lessons in small groups, wedding dance coaching with custom choreography, and dance training for kids and teens aged 7 and above. The studio also offers mobile community and institutional programs in schools, workplaces, senior residences, healthcare settings, and community centres. The studio is welcoming to individuals and couples of all backgrounds, including the LGBTQ+ community, and no partner is required to start. Reviews highlight Sergei's patience, passion, professionalism, and ability to work with dancers of varying levels, including those managing injuries or health challenges.
