Established in 2014, DanZa Productions was created by Jamie Hartwell with the goal of offering fun, affordable, and top quality dance and fitness classes for people of all ages and fitness levels. It has since grown into to a new partnership between Jamie and co-owner Tereza Paraschivescu, offering not only Zumba but also specialty multi-ethnic dance classes, performances for special events, workshops and private lessons such as personalized wedding choreography.
Come dance with us today and see what the DanZa craze is all about!

Taught in a very interactive way (in English and Spanish), this workshop is meant to introduce you to the intricate footwork and movement patterns that made Dominican Bachata so famous.
No dance partner? Don’t fret – our instructors will make sure to pair you up with someone (or themselves on a rotation basis), while also showing individualized options for those preferring to fly solo.

What a pleasure it was to have Danza Productions into our PE classes for Zumba for the past 3 years. The instructors have been amazing and energetic and were able to make this a memorable experience for our grade 7 girls. We are looking forward to partnering with Danza Productions again this year.
