Our Foundation program offers technical dance foundations for dancers interested in pursuing performance opportunities such as competition and/or dance exams. These classes offer developmentally appropriate building blocks and syllabi to develop student’s technique. Our foundation classes are delivered by highly accredited and experienced staff who make the classes fun, engaging and challenging for the students. We offer foundation classes for children ages three and up in a variety of genres including: ballet, tap, jazz and acro.
Our performance program is an excellent program for students who want to learn to dance and stay active. Our performance classes are suited for students who love to move, have fun and socialize but can only commit to an hour or two of training each week. Students do not need previous dance experience to enroll in our performance programming and can begin taking classes at any age. The performance program will teach students movement fundamentals and basic technique through fun, age appropriate activities.
Our exam program is offered to students who have been training in ballet, jazz, tap or acro and want to work on advancing in their dance training through internationally recognized and developmentally appropriate set syllabus training and examinations. Dance exams will be offered to students by their teacher. If a student is interested in pursuing an exam, we encourage them to share this with their instructor.
Our sessional program offers day and evening classes in 8 week blocks for young students who love to move! Our sessional classes are high energy and combine a variety of dance styles such as ballet, acro, jazz, tap and hip hop foundations, in upbeat theme based classes. Sessional classes are an excellent way for student to get comfortable in the studio, meet new friends, and develop their love for dance.
Our Intensive Program is an innovative program we have recently launched to our dance community; this program is available to dancers who are interested in taking the next step in their dance training and developing their artistry. This program is suitable for highly dedicated dancers who are passionate about growing technically and artistically. The Intensive program will introduce new dance methods, challenging them out of their comfort zone and helping grow as artists. The ITC program is open to all dancers who wish to audition for the program.
Our STEP TEAM and APPRENTICE programs are our student teacher dance education programs that we offer to Prestige students. Our STEP TEAM program is offered to students in grades 7-9 and our APPRENTICE program is for students in grades 10-12. STEP and APPRENTICE will give students the opportunity to work with children and learn some basic teaching skills.
