Intensive Dance Program (Performing Arts Program)
This program encourages the self-discipline & creativity that develops self-confidence in young dancers. A professional syllabus is designed to allow for individual development within the class, either in preparation for professional training and

Body type is definitely not a factor in the selection process. Students are recommended by the teaching staff through Mrs. Klassen. Most often students are selected from the General Program at age 7, where they would then enter level 1.

Parents of recommended students or parents who would like to enquire as whether their child is ready should make an appointment with Mrs. Klassen in order to pose any questions or concerns.

The Intensive Dance Program is designed
for those students who have chosen dance as their number one extra curricular
activity, and it encourages them to pursue a more intensive dance training.
Students enrolled in the program are required to participate in exams, festivals
(2 in early spring) and recitals. They are also required to be serious about
their schoolwork, receiving above average grades. Combining regular school
and dance school will require careful planning of time. Parents will be required
to uphold school philosophy, and prepare students for festivals, performances
& exams.
