Mary Cain Dance
Meet Mary & Cloyd
Mary and her husband Cloyd believe dancing is not about performance or competition. It is about connection, movement, and fun. For more than twenty years they have shared that philosophy with people across Greater Moncton. From Salsa and Jive to Waltz and Line Dancing, they have taught thousands of beginners how to feel comfortable and enjoy themselves on the dance floor. Their classes focus on building friendships and confidence as much as learning steps. With Mary’s encouraging teaching style and Cloyd’s easygoing presence, students quickly see that dancing is for everyone, and every class feels like a night out with friends.

Mary and Cloyd keep things light, relaxed, and easy to follow so even the shyest newcomer can join in. With more than twenty years of teaching experience, they have helped countless people build confidence, meet friends, and discover how much fun dancing can be.

Your Dance Journey, Your Way
Beginner Classes
Learning to dance should feel fun, relaxed, and stress free. Our Absolute Beginner classes are designed for people with zero experience. You do not need rhythm, you do not need a partner, and you do not need to know a single step before you walk through the door.
Intermediate / Advanced
You already know the basics and you are ready to grow. Intermediate and Advanced classes help you move with more ease, confidence, and flow on the dance floor.
Private Lessons
Private ballroom dance lessons are one-on-one sessions tailored entirely to you. Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to refine your technique, each lesson is designed around your goals, pace, and favourite dances. Learn in a relaxed, supportive environment while building confidence, grace, and connection on the dance floor.
