About this studio
Montuno Dance Company is Calgary's Latin dance studio, directed by Moises Gonzalez and Lianabel Selviz. They specialize in salsa and bachata, offering group lessons, private sessions, monthly socials, student gatherings, performance teams, and competition opportunities across multiple levels.
Moises and Lianabel bring Venezuelan heritage to their teaching, infusing every class with cultural depth and what they call sabor and passion. Their mission is to teach the culture of Latin rhythms while creating a fun, friendly, and inclusive environment for students of all backgrounds. They believe dance is a transformative experience—a space to meet new friends, build confidence, face your fears, and discover personal growth.
The instructor roster includes dancers and teachers who often began with no prior dance background, proof that consistency, proper guidance, and dedication enable anyone to learn to dance. One long-time student, Cheryl Ayres, describes Moises as "one of the best" teachers in 25 years of dancing, noting his "combination of skill, enthusiasm, humor, and kindness." Classes operate on a partner-rotating system so everyone dances with different partners.
The studio offers flexible pricing: drop-in classes at $33.60, a 4-week series at $110.25 (1 hour per week), or combo pricing for two series at $170.10. New students can try an intro pass for $110.25, while a beginner unlimited pass costs $199.50. A full pass covering all levels and styles is $262.50, or purchase 5-class and 10-class packs with 2- and 5-month validity windows respectively.
Classes cater to solo students and those with partners. The studio has two rental spaces: Studio A holds up to 30 people and suits yoga, pilates, zumba, and dance; Studio B accommodates up to 6 for private lessons or small rehearsals. Both studios feature bathrooms, free parking, quality sound systems, and are conveniently located near the CTrain station.

Bring shoes that are stable and sleek without gripping the floor; dance shoes with suede soles are recommended once you reach intermediate level.
