The Studio

The Studio

Our mission is committed to ensuring the very best in dance instruction while providing memorable performance opportunities for students of all ages and abilities. We strive to provide a stimulating, challenging and enjoyable dance experience, for recreational, program stream students, professional dancers and our audiences. We undertake to promote and implement the philosophy that dance is another way of walking.

Our students are given instruction that is competitive and relevant in the current Canadian artistic context. Our instructors receive regular professional development training to maintain their skills and remain current in the ever changing dance milieu.

We offer programs that advance according to competencies rather than age. This ensures that both recreational and full program students meet their needs to strive towards their personal artistic goals.

To create a balanced approach to learning, applying knowledge and living.
