The Adelaide Club

This is an aerobics room within a fitness centre in downtown Toronto. Toronto Dance conducts dance classes in Latin-Ballroom and Salsa-Nightclub and private lessons (including Wedding Dance Choreography) at this location.

Note: You can get to this location directly from the TTC subway without going outside. We teach in two different rooms:

• Original Studio (air-conditioning)
• Yoga Studio (no air-conditioning, has ceiling fan)

You don't need an Adelaide Club membership to enter the club as long as you are attending a Toronto Dance class and have signed the Insurance Release Form. You must check in with the front desk and within the room each time.

Drive along University Ave and turn east onto Adelaide St (one-way street). For those driving from the Gardiner Expressway, exit to York St and continue north past Front St and King St. See parking directions below. Parking with the First Canadian Place underground parking.

Directions within First Canadian Place

If entering via Adelaide St, go down the escalator to the Concourse Level and turn right and right to the Adelaide Club elevator. If entering underground via a subway station or underground parking, find the small waterfall and go north until you find the escalator and then go to the left of the escalator to the Adelaide Club elevator.

Dance Hall

There are two studios we teach in: Original Studio (group and private lessons) and Yoga Studio (private lessons).

Please bring a change of shoes especially if your shoes will be wet from snow or rain. You may also eat dinner at the small restaurant within the Adelaide Club Mon to Fri or have a snack on a Sun.

After exiting the elevator, you will see the main reception area.


Check off your name on a Toronto Dance attendance list at the counter. Hang up your coats just to the right of the reception area or in the locker/change rooms. You may bring a combination lock with you and lock your shoes/boots/handbags/briefcases in the lockers. Washrooms are in the locker/change rooms.
The men's room is opposite from the reception area. The women's room is behind the big-screen TV.

Turn right from the reception area. Turn left at the snack bar area.


Go past the waiting area with a big screen TV. Continue to the left of the TV. Go down another hallway.

Parking

There may be some street meter parking but they are harder to find. On a Sunday, it is free until 1:00pm and you can probably find them easily on University Ave. So for those who have noon-1:00pm classes, you can park and pre-pay 1:00-1:15pm.

There is a $5 flat-fee parking at the Scotia Plaza off Adelaide St, east of Bay St.

There is a $6 flat-fee parking on Sheppard Street just north of Adelaide St W.

There is a $6 flat-fee parking at the TD Centre weekdays after 6pm and all-day weekends.
