The Dance Extension strives to provide our students with a warm, friendly and welcoming atmosphere where students can feel at home learning and loving to dance. Our class sizes are kept small to allow for individual attention in all classes. Some of our former students have gone on to peruse their love for dance at The National Ballet of Canada, performing on SYTYCD as well as performing on cruise ships and in music videos. The ultimate compliment of course is that many of our former students have gone on to become teachers themselves. We are a family here at The Dance Extension and we welcome you to join our family in our pursuit of happiness, health and DANCE!!
