General information

The School offers a wide range of programs for all ages, meeting the interests and abilities of the beginner to the professional dancers.

The School’s program includes both Royal Academy of Dance Ballet and Limon Modern dance, providing the dancer with the opportunity to pursue a balanced training program similar to that of the Canadian Contemporary Dance Theatre performing company. Royal Academy of Dance ballet exams are offered to students enrolled in a minimum of two classes per week starting at Grade I Level.

Students seeking a more recreational dance experience can select from a wide range of dance styles including Jazz & Musical Theatre, Hip Hop, Tap, Teen Ballet, Grade I, II and III recreational Ballet and Contemporary classes, all of which culminate in our year-end Showcase, a theatre performance presented to family and friends.

Children 2–3 years of age, accompanied by their parents, will explore the natural joy of movement and musicality in our Music and Movement class. Our Creative Movement program is offered to students 3–7 years of age and continues to nurture the art of movement through a blend of spontaneity and technique.

Classes are offered on a 36-week term, from September to June. New registrations are accepted in May and continue throughout the fall and winter based on class availability.
