Ethiopian Cultural Dance & Fitness
Move, connect, and celebrate culture.
In-person fitness classes are often expensive, hard to access, and not taught with our culture in mind. Coach Abe is changing that with affordable Ethiopian dance and fitness for every generation.
No dance experience needed. Coach Abe teaches every step from scratch, and you go at your own pace. Open to everyone.

Before your first class
I've never danced before. Can I still come?
Yes. Most people come with no dance experience. Coach Abe takes every step slowly, and nobody is put on the spot. If a move doesn't work for your body, he'll show you an easier one.
Who are the classes for?
Open to everyone. Every age, every fitness level, no levels to choose between. Coach Abe shows an easier and a harder version of each move, so you decide how hard you work.
What should I wear and bring?
Comfortable clothes you can move in and clean indoor shoes. Bring water and a small towel. Nothing else needed.
Where do I park, and can I get there by transit?
We're at the Metrotown Community Resource Centre, 3rd floor, 4460 Beresford St, Burnaby. It's a short walk from Metrotown SkyTrain station and the Metrotown bus exchange. There's street parking nearby, plus the Metropolis at Metrotown parkades a few minutes away. We'll email directions with your ticket.
Can I bring my kids?
Yes. The classes are for the whole family, so you can come together. Kids dance next to their parents, not in a separate room. Buy a ticket for each person coming.
