Welcome to the
Canterbury Dance Centre!
Our dance program is ideal for children to stay fit and to explore their artistic talents in a non-competitive environment.
We offer children from age 3-18 the opportunity to dance in a fun, positive, and professional environment. Our instructors strive to promote self-esteem and positive self-image. Programs are held in a safe, community-based environment and we keep tuition prices affordable for our families.
Dance styles include Tots & Toes, Jazz, Tap, Ballet, Contemporary, Jazz Funk, Musical Theatre, and Hip Hop.

If you need more than the two tickets allotted to your family, you may purchase more from the Shenkman Arts Centre Box Office when tickets go on sale.
