"Sophie has danced at The Dance Studio for 8 years and can’t wait to go back. Miss Melissa’s attention to each individual student and their technique is a testament to her desire for each student to grow and develop as a dancer. Dance class is hard work but it is all worth it when she comes home having learned a new skill or when the team performs onstage and all of that hard work becomes art. Music Theatre class has given Sophie the opportunity to sing, act, and dance, all of her favourite things. Sophie walks tall with grace, works hard to excel, treats others with respect, and loves her dance family, all thanks to The Dance Studio."
~Elite Program Parent~
At The Dance Studio, we offer classes to children as young as 18 months.
The first classes in our "First Steps" Program are Toddler Tots & Tiny Tots. These classes are 30 minutes long and are combination classes offering both Tap and Ballet.
The next steps in our "First Steps" Program are Advanced Tiny Tots and Pre-Exam Combo. These classes offer the first level of exam prep in Ballet, Tap, and Jazz as well as an intro to Highland.
The "First Steps" Dance Program is designed to introduce young children to the joy of dance and movement to music. The "First Steps" classes will offer children beginner dance steps, basic music and rhythms, and will include some singing.
Students in the "First Steps" Program will perform in the annual recital at the end of the year but do not participate in competition.
CDTA Ballet classes offered from Preliminary to Advanced levels with Progressions available to all students

Acro classes are offered following the syllabus of Acrobatic Arts to all students age 5 and up
Acro Dance is a blending of dance and Acrobatic (or gymnastic) elements. Acro dancers need to be strong in their Classical and Jazz technique to seamlessly link the dance elements and gymnastic elements of a routine.
Selected Acro groups attend spring dance competitions as well as perform in the year-end recital
Lyrical Dance is a blending of Ballet and Jazz technique while the dancers interpret and communicate the lyrics of a song. Lyrical should portray a wide range of emotions and be supported by strong, classical technique.
Lyrical will only be offered to students in Grade 3 Ballet & up who are also taking Jazz, as technique and maturity must be strongly established before Lyrical dance quality can be developed.
Musical Theatre is a combination of dancing, singing, and acting. Musical Theatre is taken from the original triple-threat celebrities who could all sing, dance and act. This class pulls out the performer in each dancer!
All Lyrical & Musical Theatre groups attend spring dance competitions as well as perform in the year-end recital
