Learn Dance, Love Dance!
​
Our studio offers a recreational stream for dancers ages 6 and up.
For our list of our Early Childhood Dance classes,
​
Our Recreational classes are for students that are interested in learning to dance without the pressures of festival/competition performances or examinations in dance.
​
We aim to make these classes fun and relaxed, while also educating dancers in the foundations of dance to ensure safe practice and provide a solid base from which to move into our Performance (competitive) Stream, if desired.
​
If you are interested in learning more about our Performance (competitive) Stream, please visit our Performance Stream page. Our Competition dancers successfully complete dance examinations and perform award-winning dances at a variety of competitions each Spring!
​
NOTE: Age ranges provided below are approximate ages. Based on previous experience, some dancers may be placed in a group outside of the approximate age ranges listed.
