Dance classes are offered for children as young as three who will learn to express themselves through movement. The Recital Dance program grows with your child and provides a non-competitive, safe environment. Locations such as the Meadowvale Theatre provide a first-class opportunity to perform on a professional stage.

Instructional Dance

Children as young as three are introduced to dance through creative movement before choosing a specialization in ballet and/or jazz. Classes are available with a focus on dancing your way to becoming physically fit. Specialty dance classes use barre exercises and traditional ballet poses for the more experienced.
