Youth Drop-In Classes

Your kids need to spend time with other kids. They need to move and express themselves, they need to use up energy and be creative.

Drop-in dance classes are for any child who likes to move their body. They will get a chance to connect with other children, find a spot to fit in, build strength and motor skills, learn dance technique and stretch their bodies.

Dance is an amazing way to give your child a place to belong. We create an environment of acceptance and inclusion while exploring movements to music with other young people . 

Some people say “Dance like no-one is watching” (it’s part of a quote from Mark Twain, actually) but we would much rather encourage our children to develop self-confidence and a sense of joy that says “Dance however you want, no matter who is watching!”

Whether your little one is a beginner who has always been curious about exploring dance, or an experienced dancer who wants to bring dance back into their life, we have classes for all levels. Our  schedule is packed with drop-in workshops of all dance styles and for all ages of children.

This year has been hard on everyone, and isolation is really bothering the youngest among us. Don’t let this month disappear into more unproductive screen time and “I’m bored!” 

Dance with Ascension Dance!

Ages 7-9 Classes

We are offering a different dance style each week of June for only $10 per class. Commit to one class or all four.

This is a great way for beginner dancers to test out some of the many styles we offer to find their favourite before committing to a weekly recreational class in the fall. Each class is a one-time commitment, but we recommend trying out each class to see what one interests you the most.

Will you like the precise movements of ballet? Or the expressive flow of lyrical? Maybe you’ll enjoy the character development in musical theatre. Or the more freestyle moves of hip-hop. Who knows, you may fall in love with all four!
