Our Studio
Our journey began with a dream, a dream to create a space where dance isn’t just a routine; it’s an expression of joy, creativity, and self-discovery. At Dance Tech, we’re all about embracing uniqueness and letting your spirit shine through dance. Our team of dedicated instructors brings a wealth of experience and a contagious love for dance to every class.
Class Styles
Great for beginning dancers and/or those who want the opportunity to learn and perform without a large commitment.
Meant for dancers who are looking to learn or improve in these styles and are a great addition to other performing classes.
Performing Classes
These classes offer the opportunity to learn, perform, and enjoy dance without having to commit to long practices or multiple days per week.
Combo Dance (Jazz/Ballet focus)
A great place to start! These classes focus on Jazz and Ballet concepts, skills, and terminology. Students will also practice spatial awareness, rhythm + timing, creative movement, and performance quality through various exercises, activities, games, and choreography. These classes will receive costumes and learn routines to perform during the season. *Kinder classes will also learn tap.
Hip Hop
Let’s groove! Hip hop classes will learn different forms of urban and street dance, as well as focus on basic body awareness and isolations. These skills will be practiced in various exercises, combinations, and choreography. Classes will receive costumes and learn routines to perform during the season.
Tap
Elevate your dancing by making music with your feet! Similar to learning an instrument, tap classes are a fun way to enhance the brain/body connection. These classes will learn and review tap skills and techniques. Tap classes will also focus on rhythm patterns, timing, and precision. These skills will be practiced in various exercises, combinations, and choreography. Classes will receive costumes and learn routines to perform during the season.
Technique Classes
Non-performing classes meant for dancers who want to learn or improve skills in specific dance styles.
Acro Tumbling
Acrobatics is a form of gymnastics for dancers. Our goal is to teach dancers tumbling, strength, balancing and flexibility skills in a safe controlled environment. Common moves include handstands, cartwheels, bridges, aerials and back handsprings. These are all taught using a series of progression to keep the dancers safe but also build confidence in their own abilities. Acro is a great class to take on its own or in addition to other dance classes.
Aerial
Enjoy learning dance from a new perspective – in the air! Students will train using aerial silks suspended from the ceiling. In addition to being fun and unique, these classes help to increase strength and flexibility, body awareness, joint mobility, and decompress the spine.
Ballet
Ballet is at the core of all dance styles. Whether your goal is to improve Ballet technique, improve in other dance genres, or you simply love classical movement, Ballet is the best way to build a solid dance foundation. These classes focus on correct placement of the body, alignment of posture, proper technique, and knowledge of ballet terminology. Students will learn classical techniques & terminology at the barre, in centre, & across the floor.
Jazz
If high energy is your jam, then Jazz dance is for you. These classes will introduce technique in jazz styles, including lyrical, broadway, and other variations within the technique. Turns, floor work and jumps will be emphasized along with some choreographic exploration.
Modern/Contemporary
Enter the world of creative exploration. In these classes, dancers will learn skills associated with Modern and Contemporary techniques such as floor work, jumps and turns. There will be an emphasis on anatomical alignment as well as the history of these dance styles along with creative movement and comprehensive training on beginning choreography.
Pointe
These classes are for dancers who are ready to take their Ballet training to the next level. Dancers will learn pointe skills & techniques, as well as strength exercises for the feet and ankles. Students are required to have previous ballet experience and must have instructor approval to register.

We provide assistant instructors in classes with a larger quantity of students in order to help dancers receive more individualized attention. We also offer a wide variety of classes and programs to help you customize your dance training experience. Classes are offered for all ages and skill levels with top-notch programs for both recreational dancers and those looking to take their skills to the next level through additional training and participation in a Performance Company.
Safe Facility
Our state-of-the-art facility features 4 beautiful studio spaces with top quality sound equipment, full-length mirrors, barres, and most importantly sprung hardwood and Marley flooring. Did you know that training on poor quality floors such as plywood or flooring without a subfloor can cause serious injuries over time? Our “floating floors” help cushion joints for lower impact and safer training. Other extras included in our facility are water fountains, air conditioning, a large parking lot and one-way viewing windows, as well as cubbies, coat hooks, and a locker room for our Performance Company dancers.
