Age Appropriate Classes

We are passionate about creating developmentally and age appropriate classes for all of our students. From technical skills to costumes to music we ensure your dancer is being trained and performs in a safe and nurturing environment. We believe it is important and healthy for children to just be children.

Small Class Sizes

Smaller class sizes give our students the space to move freely and receive more individualized attention from their teachers. This allows our teachers to focus on each student and offer them the support they need to learn, progress and help them to reach their full potential.

Examinations

All of our students have the option to partake in dance examinations. We currently offer Ballet exams with the RAD (Royal Academy of Dance) and Jazz and Tap exams with the CDTA (Canadian Dance Teachers Association). These opportunities are for the dancer who takes pride in their hard work and who wants to perfect their craft to receive National and International accreditation for their efforts. Examinations provide goal setting and time management skill sets along with increased technical achievement to your dancer.
