About Us
Welcome!
For over 15 years, we have been providing high-quality dance classes, emphasizing personal development, musicality, and exercise, in a fun and supportive environment. Our students are nurtured in a non-competitive atmosphere where the primary focus is learning the art of dance. Performance skills are developed over the year, culminating in our year-end recital. Personal attention is ensured with our smaller class sizes and qualified teachers and assistants.
Located at Lawrence Park Community Church, our venue is a lovely, modern space, with over 4000 sqft of studio space, a comfortable waiting area and free parking.
