About Us

Wedance is a family-owned, multibrand dance shoe store proudly based in Canada. Founded by Olga and Yury, our journey began far from here — in Belarus — but today, our heart, home, and values are deeply Canadian.

We’re more than just a store — we’re a family business, run by the two of us and our little daughter, Eva. Wedance was born from love, creativity, and a desire to support dancers of all levels with comfort, quality, and care.

  • 🎯 Our Mission

    Our mission is to help every dancer feel confident, supported, and comfortable by providing expertly fitted, high-quality dance shoes and dancewear — along with attentive, professional service — for every level and budget.

  • 🧡 We’re More Than Just a Shop

    We love what we do — from the first idea and carefully selecting the best models from trusted manufacturers, to hearing your feedback after you’ve danced in our shoes. Your positive reviews are the greatest reward for us — dreamers, professionals, and a family passionate about helping others move with confidence.

  • 📍 Our Showroom & Fitting Philosophy

    Our showroom is located in Ottawa, and we operate by appointment — so we can give every client the full attention they deserve.

    As former ballroom dancers ourselves, we know how essential it is to feel comfort, support, and stability in every movement. Each dancer’s foot is unique — which makes finding the perfect pair not just a process, but an art.

    We take pride in making sure every dancer leaves feeling confident, supported, and ready to shine on the dance floor.

  • 💃 A Special Thank You to Nana

    We owe special thanks to our friend and partner Nana, whose 20+ years of professional dance shoe fitting experience laid the foundation for Wedance. Nana’s deep knowledge, dedication, and generosity helped us understand what dancers truly need — and we’re proud to pass on her wisdom to dancers across Canada.

  • 👨‍💼 From Banking to Ballroom

    Before starting Wedance, we built successful careers in the banking world.

    Yury led risk departments at major banks and later worked as a business analyst, developing deep expertise in data, systems, and strategy.
    Olga headed a public relations department and later became a certified life coach through Erickson Coaching International in Canada.

    After relocating to Canada, we dreamed of building something meaningful — and Wedance was born.

  • 💻 Behind the Scenes

    Yury’s technical and analytical background powers everything behind the scenes — from website optimization to automation — ensuring a smooth, modern shopping experience. His work helps dancers across Canada discover us online and find their perfect pair with ease.

    Olga works directly with trusted suppliers around the world, curating a collection that fits every level, budget, and style. She’s always happy to share her expertise and help you find the perfect pair with care, attention, and a personal touch.


    Thank you for dancing with us.
