Top 10 Reasons to Choose SCX
1- More than 120 competition titles worldwide
With prizes extending from 2000 to today in more than 20 events, the dancers of SCX have always proved themselves on the competition dance floor.
2- Teachers who all won competitions and are all recognized as exceptional social dancers
Ever registered for a class assuming you'd get the school's star couple as teachers, but instead getting stuck with regular Joe & Jane who have little to no experience in teaching dance? At SCX, no fear: all our teachers are certified awesome!
3- Hands down the best prices in Montreal
Our tight organization and planning minimize a lot of expenses. This, coupled with our strong belief in the accessibility of dance classes for all, makes Swing ConneXion not only the school with the best quality in teaching, but also the most approcheable in pricing. Go ahead and compare!
4- Simple, authentic approach to dancing and teaching
We strongly believe in the street dance aspect of swing; after all, it is a dance of the people. This reflects in the fun-loving, simple attitude of all SCX teachers and dancers.
5- Founded and directed by internationally renowned teachers Zack Richard & Maryse Lebeau
Dancing together since 2001, Zack and Maryse are pioneers in Montreal's swing dance scene. They helped putting Montreal on the map as a city with top-notched dancers, and from 2001 to today toured the world, teaching workshops and performing in London, Sydney, Paris, Lyon, Toulouse, Berlin, New York, San Diego, Toronto and multiple smaller cities in the US and Canada.
6- Up-to-date, top-notch teaching thanks to ongoing teachers' training
As a result of their travels, Zack and Maryse and the rest of the crew are always on top of new trends in the dance world, and they dutifully pass it on to the other SCX teachers on a regular basis.
7- Year-round classes for all levels
All year, SCX offers dance lessons in a wide variety of swing dance styles: Lindy Hop, Balboa, Charleston, Blues, Shag, Aerials, Solo Jazz... Since 2007 they also offer their increasingly popular kids classes!
8- Blossoming student life with 2 dance nights, 3 dance teams and special events
Whether at les Bobards on Wednesdays or any swing dance night in Montreal, you can find the SCX community waiting for a good dance. For the highly motivated, three dance teams train at our studio: the ConneXion Crew, Balboa ConneXion and the coveted Swing ConneXion team headed by SCX teachers. Will you make it all the way there?
9- Easy access to our studios: 2 min walk from De Castelnau metro
Situated near Jean-Talon market and Little Italy, the SCX Studios are located in a blooming sector of Montreal. It's also a mere 10 minutes walk from the Jean-Talon metro station.
10- Three studios with real wooden floor and wall-to-wall mirrors: 5000 sq. ft. of pure pleasure!
Extensive renovations and periodic touch-ups have transformed a former fabrics manufacture at 7250 Clark into a top of the line dance studio. Say goodbye to studios that sport fake wood over cement, our floor is 100% hardwood!
