About Free Spirit Dance

Free Spirit Dance Description

Theresa is the owner of Free Spirit Dance. She is a dancer, instructor and choreographer that began her dance journey 17 years ago. She started dancing from the first time her mother put her on a pair of roller skates when she was two. She has many a memory of spending countless hours in her room creating dance routines inspired by Solid Gold Dancers, MuchMusic and In Living Color; and learning moves at the Friday night community hall teen dances back in the day. The funk, groove and need to move have long been a family tradition as she comes from a bunch of crazy-musical-fun-loving East Coasters. Theresa took her first actual dance class in her early 20’s and she has never looked back. With the exception of the jazz classes she took as a kid but she mostly only really remembers the awful green outfits they made her wear ;)

Theresa’s long-time love and dance focus has been salsa. She has also trained in other Latin styles such as Cha Cha Cha and Afro-Cuban, West African, ballroom, jazz, contemporary, hip hop, funk styles and house. She has traveled to Cuba, Costa Rica, Croatia, Los Angeles, Mexico, Miami, New York, Boston and across Canada to pursue her love of dance. She has performed with Latin artists such as Puerto Rican Power, Oscar de Leon, Mendez and Eddy K. Theresa has presented her own choreographic work for Mpact – Invisible and The Cypher.

Theresa’s three loves are: dance /fitness, the arts and empowering others to love the skin they are in. As the owner and creative director of Free Spirit Dance, she is excited to share her love of dance and the arts. Theresa is also the artistic director of Pretty Girl Swag Dance Crew which came out of a desire to mix her two favorite dance loves: Latin & Hip Hop. She is also involved with Mpact Dance in Calgary as the Marketing Director, whose mandate is to create a positive impact in people’s lives through dance. Check out her side project on Facebook called Pay It Forward YYC; encouraging people to engage, connect and care about our fellow neighbor. One small act of kindness can cause ripple effects of changes in our communities and ultimately the world.

Theresa is known for her high energy classes and creating a safe environment where students are not restricted by the opinions of others or weighed down by the troubles of everyday life. She continues to inspire others by encouraging everyone that “it’s never too late to start” because she too started later in life. She can also still rock it out like nobody’s business on a pair of roller skates. ;)

Live life outside of your comfort zone, because that is where the magic happens!

Live. Love. Dance. BE FREE.

Wow, Free Spirit Dance provides the opportunity to Adults, Teens and Youth Summer Camps to diversify their outlook on the world of dance. They do there best to touch all different styles to give students a variety. The owner of Free Spirit Dance and

Choreographer is the very talented Theresa Tucci who is very convincing in having her students step out of the box and do their best.

User

Wow! I tried beginner jazz and house dance. The studio is bright and clean and the instructor (I believe her name was Vanessa) was all smiles and made class great! The only thing is parking but you can drive around and find street parking down a side street and walk a couple minutes to the studio.

User

We came from out of town to celebrate my sister's bachelorette party. I booked a burlesque class with Theresa. It was the best time ever. She made us feel so comfortable in our own skin, and within an hour we learnt a fabulous chair routine and many dance moves. The girls had so much fun. She left us ready and in the right mood to have a great night on the town. Thanks so much, Theresa!

User

Want an affordable and a fantastic night out with the girls? Burlesque & Wine night out is the best bang for your buck in the city! So much fun and a surprisingly great workout... Theresa is amazing, she does such a good job of making everyone comfortable and she makes it look so easy!

Thanks so much for a fun night out Theresa!

To celebrate a couple of birthdays, my group of girlfriends recently attended the Free Spirit Dance Wine & Burlesque Night. We were warmly welcomed with a glass of wine before starting the Burlesque class. Theresa was a powerball of energy and taught us some fun and easy choreography. As we mingled with the other groups of gals, we found out that we weren’t the only group celebrating a birthday. This is such a great and unique way to celebrate your birthdays that I would highly recommend it to anyone. So don't be shy ! Thanks Theresa!

User

This is a wonderful place for a variety of fitness and fun dance classes. Each class challenges your body to do more than the last time. I love the new choreography from each class and I never get bored! The owner/dancer/instructor, Theresa Tucci is just amazing and so are all of the instructors! Theresa is passionate about her work and it shows through the interactions with her students. I recommend this place for sure!

User

Theresa is amazing. She is very patient, fun, and open minded. She makes you feel welcomed and like a rock star even when you are a beginner in training. I loved her line “it’s never too late to learn to dance”. This is what attracted me to her studio as Iam a beginner and an older student. I would highly recommend this studio if you want to learn something new or even advance your current skills. Thank you for being so inclusive and patient! ���

User

Theresa choreographed our first dance as a newlywed and she was truly a great instructor! She was friendly, patient, accommodating, and fun! She tailored the dance to our skill level while listening to our requests and opinions. We are so glad that we enlisted her help in creating this wonderful memory that we now share with our family and friends.

User

There is no words to express how I feel after taking a class. Thank you Theresa and all the teachers you are all awsome.

User

The thing I love about Free Spirit is that everyone, no matter what your skill level, is welcome. If you love to groove because it awakens your soul, this is the place! From the ground up, Theresa has created a beautiful, warm space that welcomes even the most shy, inexperienced dance student. If you want to have some fun in a supportive, friendly environment, you need to check this place out!

User

Such a great night out with friends in a comfortable, safe and supportive environment. The teacher is really engaging and easy to follow. The music is awesome, the choreography is easy to follow and it's a great workout to boot! I highly recommend the Burlesque and Wine Night!

User

Love this place. I'm an absolute beginner and everyone is welcoming and encouraging. The instructors are passionate about what they do and the students who come are filled with the same enthusiasm. Would 100% recommend!

User

Love this place! I decided to try something new and signed up for the Zumba class. It was a great cardio workout! Theresa was delightful and welcoming (as was everyone else in the class for the newbie). The class was so much fun and I felt like I got a great workout at the same time! I liked the atmosphere so much that I later dropped in to an Afro Fusion class. It was also excellent too! Similar to Zumba but more Caribbean. (I clearly need work in that area, LOL). Thinking of trying Hip Hop next. Hope to see you there!

User

I went with a group of girlfriends to the burlesque class. It was so much Fun! I loved that we could enjoy a few glasses of wine to relax before and during the class. The instructor was amazing; fun & friendly. I would definitely go back and reccomend those interested in a fun girls night out try this class!

User

I tried the burlesque and wine night with a friend and had the best time. Theresa was welcoming and friendly. The class was fun, with great ice breaker exercises to relax. Fun moves with hilarious names, definitely will be back again and I highly recommend to anyone looking to try something a little different!

User

I have been taking lessons at Free Spirit Dance since October 2017, I would highly recommend anyone who is interested in taking salsa lessons coming here.

I have taken the level 1 and I am currently enrolled in the 1.5 class.

Things you will enjoy:

- The focus on fundamentals and Technique at all levels

- More of emphasis on social dancing rather than performance.

- A beginner friendly environment.

- The energy and vibe the instructor brings to each class.

- Support of the classes shown by the more experienced dancers at the School.

So if your a beginner or looking to refine your social dancing, I would highly recommend taking lessons a Free Spirit dance.

User

I booked a private Wine & Burlesque Night for a stagette for 2 of my girlfriends. Theresa was so welcoming and accommodating, even when one of our guests was running late! She was encouraging, fun and a wonderful teacher. It is so easy to see that dance is her passion and this studio is her heart. My girlfriends unanimously agreed that her teaching style made it so easy and a blast to learn. We all felt sweaty and sexy after ;)

We are so glad that we enlisted her help in creating this wonderful memory that we now share with our family and friends.

There is no words to express how I feel after taking a class. Thank you Theresa and all the teachers you are all awsome.

The thing I love about Free Spirit is that everyone, no matter what your skill level, is welcome. If you love to groove because it awakens your soul, this is the place! From the ground up, Theresa has created a beautiful, warm space that welcomes even the most shy, inexperienced dance student. If you want to have some fun in a supportive, friendly environment, you need to check this place out!

Such a great night out with friends in a comfortable, safe and supportive environment. The teacher is really engaging and easy to follow. The music is awesome, the choreography is easy to follow and it's a great workout to boot! I highly recommend the Burlesque and Wine Night!

Love this place. I'm an absolute beginner and everyone is welcoming and encouraging. The instructors are passionate about what they do and the students who come are filled with the same enthusiasm. Would 100% recommend!

Love this place! I decided to try something new and signed up for the Zumba class. It was a great cardio workout! Theresa was delightful and welcoming (as was everyone else in the class for the newbie). The class was so much fun and I felt like I got a great workout at the same time! I liked the atmosphere so much that I later dropped in to an Afro Fusion class. It was also excellent too! Similar to Zumba but more Caribbean. (I clearly need work in that area, LOL). Thinking of trying Hip Hop next. Hope to see you there!

I went with a group of girlfriends to the burlesque class. It was so much Fun! I loved that we could enjoy a few glasses of wine to relax before and during the class. The instructor was amazing; fun & friendly. I would definitely go back and reccomend those interested in a fun girls night out try this class!

I tried the burlesque and wine night with a friend and had the best time. Theresa was welcoming and friendly. The class was fun, with great ice breaker exercises to relax. Fun moves with hilarious names, definitely will be back again and I highly recommend to anyone looking to try something a little different!

I have been taking lessons at Free Spirit Dance since October 2017, I would highly recommend anyone who is interested in taking salsa lessons coming here.

I have taken the level 1 and I am currently enrolled in the 1.5 class.

Things you will enjoy:

- The focus on fundamentals and Technique at all levels

- More of emphasis on social dancing rather than performance.

- A beginner friendly environment.

- The energy and vibe the instructor brings to each class.

- Support of the classes shown by the more experienced dancers at the School.

So if your a beginner or looking to refine your social dancing, I would highly recommend taking lessons a Free Spirit dance.

I booked a private Wine & Burlesque Night for a stagette for 2 of my girlfriends. Theresa was so welcoming and accommodating, even when one of our guests was running late! She was encouraging, fun and a wonderful teacher. It is so easy to see that dance is her passion and this studio is her heart. My girlfriends unanimously agreed that her teaching style made it so easy and a blast to learn. We all felt sweaty and sexy after ;)

Free Spirit Dance is not just an adult dance studio with amazing classes and encouraging instructors, it is also a place where acceptance, belonging and growth take place. I love that not only am I getting a good physical workout, I'm also building confidence and forming relationships!
