Recreational & Non Competitive Dance
Kids Recreational Dance
We know that not every dancer wants to compete. At Dance Artistry, we are proud to offer dance classes for all ages without the pressure, commitment, or cost, of competition. Our full term recreational classes offer the same high standard of training PLUS the option to participate in our Christmas and end of year recitals. These classes are also open to any dancers from other studios that want some extra training. Class will include jazz and lyrical.
Age 7-11 - Saturday 11:00-11:45
Sydney River Studio
Age 12-17 - Wednesday 6:45-7:30
Sydney River Studio
Technique Classes
We offer several weekly full-term classes that are 100% non-competitive.
Competitive Technique - This class is a technique only class that is designed to reinforce the skills in each level's competitive routines while pushing dancers to the next level. *Mandatory for Mini Stars and Up*
Acrobatics - Includes contortion, tumbling, strength, balance, flexibility, and artistic movements. Classes are taught in multi level format to allow students to progress at their own pace .
Ballet Exam Classes - We encourage all of our dancers to participate in our CDTA (Canadian Dance Teachers Association) Ballet Examinations as ballet is the foundation of all other styles of dance. We are able to offer all levels from Primary to Advanced.
