At The Dance Place Ltd., we know that dance should be about fun and growth, not pressure and stress. We strive to create a positive learning environment, helping each dancer reach their true potential. With almost 50 years of experience, we’re proud to say that many of our dancers have gone on to professional careers. But, our greatest success is teaching children to love themselves and to develop a lifelong appreciation for dance.
At The Dance Place Ltd., we believe that dance should be a source of joy and self-discovery, not stress or anxiety. We work hard to foster an atmosphere of positive education and emotional support, allowing our students to reach their highest potential. After nearly half a century, we are proud to have produced many successful professional dancers. However, our greatest victory is instilling in our students a love for themselves and a lasting respect for the art of dance.

Preschool Ballet (Age 3 - 4)
Our preschool program incorporates the basics of ballet with the dynamics of dance through games appropriate to the dancer’s age. Including: stage direction, rhythm and coordination, dancer anatomy and vocabulary. We ask our preschool dancers to bring a “baby” (small doll or stuffed animal) to every class, which starts as their comfort companion, transforms into their dance buddy, and ends up as their audience. We camouflage the learning with fun!
