Meet The Instructor
Gabia Antony
Gabia has been an instructor & owned a dance school for numerous years, first in Australia & now in Canada. A dedicated teacher of various social dance styles including Street Latin, 50’s Rock n’ Roll, West Coast Swing & Lindy Hop, her passion for dancing is obvious & infectious. These fun & relaxed partner dances, suited for all ages, are a great way to exercise & socialize.

About Gabia
Gabia was passionate about dancing since she was a child, but it was when she discovered Swing that her dance passion was truly ignited. She was fortunate to be a part of the initial resurgence of Lindy Hop, having the privilege of taking several workshops with Franky Manning himself. She went on to win many competitions, both as an amateur & professional in a variety of swing dance styles, passing on her passion to others when she commenced teaching.
Later, when Street Latin began to emerge as a popular social dance, Gabia soon fell for the excitement & earthy expression of these night club dances & added them to her teaching syllabus.
In Australia, Gabia drew the local dance communities together by organizing Social Dance Events, Workshops & Competitions, which brought in people from all around the country. A highlight of her dancing life was being chosen to dance in the opening ceremony of the 2000 Olympic Games.
When Gabia moved to Canada a number of years ago, she couldn’t find any adult social dance classes for Swing or Street Latin in her area, so she decided to start teaching again. The classes have grown in popularity as more & more people discover the joy of partner dancing & have the opportunity to practice their new skills at the many social events that are now on offer in the area.
Gabia empathizes with people’s nervousness of learning to dance as an adult, so she works hard to create a comfortable, supportive & friendly environment for learning, knowing that with practice & patience anyone can become a confident dancer. Her goal is to bring the joy of dance to as many people as possible. Both singles & couples enjoy the classes & social benefits of this wonderful pastime.
