Swota is not for everyone. If your aim is to be a professional dancer and appear on, "Dancing With The Stars", we probably won't be your cup of tea. However, if you want to be a good social salsa dancer right here in Toronto you've come to the right place. We'll be your cup of tea with lemon, honey and a drop of brandy.

We invite you to join us. You'll be happy you did, we guarantee it! Until then remember our mantra. Smile...Dance...Swota.
