It is the night before Halloween as the children are preparing their loot bags and costumes for trick or treat. Valeria Mazlova, owner of Access Ballroom studio in Toronto, is instead teaching adults how to do the tango.

Mazlova explains why Halloween and dancing go hand in hand.

“Halloween is all about fun and expression during this time, people can dress up and be anyone but themselves,” she said.

She was taking a break from teaching young adults in the ballroom studio at 275 Main St. different salsa techniques. Instead she was letting the group enjoy their creativity and individualistic personalities.

Valeria Mazlova says that there is a connection between Halloween and dancing. Halloween and dancing are both forms of individualistic expression.
