Music:
Holly Arsenault - an extraordinary jazz pianist with a must-hear CD, “Hush.”
 
Salsa:
Dance Conmigo - Cheryl and Alain run a warm, friendly boutique dance school specializing in Salsa, Tango, Ballroom and Swing.
 
I take dance classes there every Tuesday night and then stay for dance practice - 8:30PM-10PM. See videos of the dance space on St. Laurent Street in Montreal and watch Cheryl & Alain in dance action! The Tuesday night open dance session is for those who want to practice their newly-learned steps in an upbeat, but safe atmosphere. (Also note their eclectic Saturday night dance parties on the first Saturday of each month.)
 
Anna & Anthony - teach private dance lessons. I take dance lessons with them once a week. Here is what I wrote about them for their brochure: "Anna and Anthony have brought my dance ability to a higher level than I ever thought possible. Each of them offers deep insight and powerful experience in the teaching of dance. They have jointly made it a joy for me to evolve from being a raw novice to becoming an eager student of Salsa who can consider dancing onstage in a professional musical show after only a few months of training."
