Smaller Class Sizes
Our smaller class sizes allow students to get more individual instruction from teachers, and as a result progress at a faster level than in a large class environment. Our smaller class sizes also ensure that the teacher can catch any problems before they turn into bad habits or improper technique.
Variety of Dance Styles & Methods
Highly qualified teachers with varied training and teaching methods are available to teach a broad range of dance styles. Instructors have a degree in dance and/or work professionally as performers and choreographers.
Our Dance Studio Advantage - The "Sprung" Professional Dance Floor
Our "Sprung" Dance Floors absorb the shock and impact of regular dance movement. This benefits students by reducing fatigue and preventing injury that can result from dancing on hard surfaces. The top layer of our flooring surface is a professional vinyl composite "marley" floor similar to the surfaces used by the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, the Royal Academy of Dancing in London, England and shows such as Riverdance. This marley floor surface has a certain amount of controlled slip to allow for sliding in dance movement, but is not slippery like common tiles found in most other dance studios.
Parents are Invited to Watch Classes
While parents may choose to leave the building during their child's classes, they may also choose to watch the class. All of our classes can be viewed via our in-house television system, so you can see how your child is progressing in class and what he or she is learning. Although other dance schools often restrict viewing to a few times per year or may not allow it at all, we feel it is important for students to receive positive reinforcement from their parents about what they are learning in class.
Recitals
Students are given performance experience in our year-end recital. Our recitals are held to a maximum time limit of 2 hours, what we believe is an acceptable length for a performance. Parents are never asked to miss any portion of the show to work backstage; instead, we hire our own personnel to supervise the dancers when they are backstage and assist with costume changes and trips to the bathroom.
