What currency are your prices?
All prices are in Canadian dollars.

Are your dance DVDs compatible with my dvd player at home?
Our DVDs have no region codes and can be played anywhere in the world.

Do you ship to overseas countries?
Yes.  We have ship orders to over twenty-five countries without any problems. 

What do the names Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Gold Star mean? 
They refer to the level of the steps taught in our classes.  Our class curriculum follows closely (about 90%) the syllabus of steps as set out by the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD).  This syllabus starts at the Beginners level, then progress successively to Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Gold Star levels.  This is how we structured our classes at The Grand Ballroom.  Since our DVD video library is an exact reproduction of our classes, we simply kept the same name designations for the videos.

Would I be able to purchase your videos by direct downloading instead of by mail? 
Absolutely.  We have two separate online stores- one for mail orders and one for download orders.  The downloads are in MP4 format and can be played on your computer, iPad, or iPhone.  It will even show that same menu and chapter headings as the DVDs if you play the videos using iTunes.  Buying by downloading saves money and shipping time but it does take only 20 to 30 minutes to download one video.  See our Download FAQ for more information.

Can I buy DVDs of just one dance?
Yes.  All of our dvds are produced as one dance on one dvd.  So if you type in for example, Waltz, in the search box, all the Waltz dvds will show up.  The DVDs are packaged both as single dance dvds and in collections for each level.  For example, the 4-DVD Bronze I Latin Collection consists of Bronze I Cha Cha, Bronze I Rumba, Bronze I Samba, and Bronze I Jive dvds.
