Our Classes
Classical Ballet: We offer Ballet starting at age 4. Our Ballet program is a blend of the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) and the Canadian Dance Teacher's Association (CDTA) instruction, along with creative movement and choreography.

We try our best to place new dancers in their proper age group, but the teachers will need to discuss the placement of any student that is older than 12 years.
Pointe: Pointe work is a part of classical ballet and is danced in specialized pointe shoes. Classes are available to our older dancers who have taken at least 2 years of ballet and at the discretion of their teacher. Dancers must begin by taking Demi Pointe classes. Classes are available for students aged 12+.
Modern Dance: Our Modern dance program combines fundamental dance technique along with creative movement in the Humphrey and Limon style. Modern is danced in bare feet and enjoys movements that are fluid and expressive, but also fast and energetic!
