Formation Studio - Vancouver, British Columbia

Krystal L. T. (.

A place to explore movement and dance as well as meet new and wonderful people and be part of a community.
I have been going to classes at Formation since 2019 and their drop-in classes when they were RSVP 33.
I have always loved dancing and I am so glad that I found Formation Studio. There is no judgement and the motivators understand that everyone is on a different dancing journey.
They have three types of classes to try - Freedom (cardio), Power (strengthening) and Presence (Choreography). The classes are catered for anyone who has not danced before to anyone who have been dancing for a while.
Definitely give them a try - you will not regret it!

Formation Studio, in just over 6 months, has become a place that has not only helped me form a consistent workout habit but has also introduced me to an incredible group of like-minded individuals. It gets me out of my home in even the rainiest of days and I never feel like it is a chore that I have to do, rather it’s something that I look forward to every evening.

From the moment I stepped into Formation, I felt an immediate sense of belonging. And that is very surprising given that I am innately aware that I not a good dancer, and therefore was quite unsure and insecure when I had booked my trial class here. The welcoming atmosphere created by the Saschie, Roman, every single instructor, staff and fellow dancers (and Hiro too!) makes it easy for newcomers to feel at home.

The engaging classes offered here have transformed my approach to fitness. The variety of dance styles and the different kinds of learning ensures that workouts never feel monotonous. Each class is an opportunity to learn, to express myself creatively or simply just dance off a bad day at work. And the idea of celebrating milestones is so encouraging.

Each instructor is passionate and attentive, providing guidance that caters to all skill levels. Their enthusiasm is contagious, making it easy to stay motivated and committed - even when it’s your third class for the day!

What truly sets Formation Studio apart is the sense of community it fosters. It’s not just about dancing; it’s about building friendships and supporting one another in our journeys - in dance or otherwise!

10/10 definitely recommend!! 🫶🏻

I have taken over 500 classes now with Formation Studio and I hope to reach 1000 classes one day. I have been dancing at this studio since the first day it opened in 2019. Saschie and Roman have cultivated such an incredible space where you can take dance classes that either focus on cardio (freedom), strength/conditioning (power), or choreography (presence). No matter what class you take, it is an opportunity for you to turn off, turn up, and get down. All the instructors provide a judgment-free zone where the focus is not on nailing the choreo, but rather on being present and moving your body in a way that feels good. No matter what kind of day I had and whether or not I got all the steps, I leave class with a big smile on my face 😊 The best thing about Formation Studio is the community. Everyone is so supportive and will cheer you on and celebrate every milestone with you ❤️ I have made many connections including lifelong friends in this space. Whether you’ve never danced before (like me) or haven’t danced in a long time and looking to get back into dancing, this is the place for you.

I recommend Formation Studio to everyone! I have been going to classes here for a year and the community that the owners Saschie and Roman have created is so special, like nothing I’ve experienced before! The movement motivators who lead the classes have incredible energy and make moving your body so fun. My favourite is the Freedom class as it’s accessible for everyone at any fitness or dance level and a fun way to sweat😃 So glad I discovered this studio, I couldn’t imagine my weeks without coming here anymore!

Formation Studio is hands down the best place to dance + get fit! The energy, the instructors, and the community make every class so fun and welcoming. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced, you’ll leave feeling inspired and challenged in the best way. Can’t recommend it enough—if you’re thinking about it, just go! 🔥💃✨

After taking a “quick” 6 year break from dance, I knew it was time for a comeback. I had a lot of reservations at first; I didn’t want to go all the way back to square one, but I was scared taking a more advanced class would lead me to feel discouraged. After researching (scrolling on TikTok) a lot of different workout classes in Vancouver…I found Formation Studio.

This studio is truly for everyone and their dance-based classes are what you make it. Experienced instructors provide a strong foundation of steps and every individual at any dance level has the freedom to spice things up. The variety of classes (cardio/strength and conditioning/ choreography focused) allows for a thorough workout of the mind and body.

While one may come to Formation for the energetic workout, they will stay for the community. Founders, Saschie and Roman (and their amazing team of instructors) have successfully fostered a welcoming environment for all where light and positivity can thrive.

So come to Formation, you’ll be in good company❤️

Great classes, awesome community! I’ve been coming to Formation more regularly since 2021, and before that did drop-in classes (at Formation/previously RSVP 33).

I used to feel very intimidated by the idea of going to dance classes, but with Formation found a supportive space that’s welcoming for all levels and so fun. I love that they have such a variety of classes, from learning choreography (Presence) to step/strength (Power) or a cardio dance party (Freedom). Going to their classes is something I look forward to, and I consistently leave feeling better than when I walked in.

I could go on and on with good things to say, but will sum up with this- Formation is truly a special place, I am so grateful it exists and would highly recommend it to others!
