Maybe you miss performing. Maybe you’ve been taking drop-in classes and want to know what it’s like to build an entire piece. Our Performance Programs are 10 weeks of rehearsals with one choreographer and one group, ending with your piece live on stage.
Our dancers include university students, parents, nurses, teachers, and even working dancers. Programs run from Beginner/Intermediate to Advanced, so whether it’s your first time on stage or your fifteenth, there’s a level that fits. Build your term around your schedule, your experience, and the styles you’re drawn to.
Applications for our Fall 2026 Term are now closed. Winter Applications will open in January 2027.
Programs run twice a year, with showcases in December and April. Applications open in August and January.
Your fee includes your live stage performance and professional footage of your piece, taught by a dedicated instructor over the course of the term.
Offered across a range of styles in a supportive, non-competitive environment. Our programs are designed for adult dancers 18+, with teens 14+ welcome with parental consent. Select mature styles, including Heels and Reggaeton, are 18+ only.
Programs are offered at four levels: Beginner/Intermediate, Intermediate, Inter/Advanced, and Advanced. Not sure where you fit? See our recommended experience for each level below.
Each program is 10 weeks long, with one weekly 1-hour rehearsal per program (unless noted otherwise). Two break weeks are built into the term, timed around holidays and school breaks. Note that break weeks may occasionally be used for make-up rehearsals if a session is cancelled.
You’ll need to be available for your term-end stage performance, including a same-day tech rehearsal beforehand.
Attendance matters here. Group choreography only works when everyone’s in the room, so we ask that you attend all sessions of your programs. Missing sessions may mean being removed from sections of the choreography, or from the program itself. Full details are in our Notes below.
Programs are offered at four levels: Beginner/Intermediate, Intermediate, Inter/Advanced, and Advanced.
We recommend being comfortable in our Level 0 and Level 1 classes to sign up for these programs. If you’re new to our studio, we recommend having roughly 1 year of dance experience and being familiar with the foundations of the style. If this is your first time performing on stage, start here. Expect a supportive room, a piece that challenges you at the right pace, and a lot of fun along the way.
We recommend being comfortable in our Level 1 and Level 2 classes to sign up for these programs. If you’re new to our studio, we recommend a couple of years of fairly consistent training, a strong foundation in the style, and comfort performing in front of others. Expect to be pushed a little further than you’re used to, with a group that’s just as into it as you are.
These programs are for dancers who are confident in inter/advanced level classes across more than one style and are training consistently, a few times a week. We recommend strong choreography pick-up and retention, and comfort performing on stage with a few shows or competitions behind you. Expect a fast pace, real focus on performance quality, and dancers who push each other.
Our most technically and artistically demanding programs, working at a pre-professional standard. These are for dancers training consistently at a high level, including through training programs, workshops, and intensives. Current or former competitive, pre-professional, or professional dancers, or those training at a comparable level. Dancers at this level are adaptable and quick to take and apply corrections. Expect the highest bar we set, and the payoff that comes with it.
Not sure which level is right for you? Our team and instructors review every application and place dancers where they’ll be challenged appropriately and can dance safely.
Applying for more than one level? You’re welcome to — some dancers are torn between two levels and want us to make the call, others just want more chances to perform. Being accepted into both isn’t guaranteed: if one level is the better fit for where you’re at, we’ll place you there.
Our next Showcase will be on Sunday December 13 in downtown Halifax, with a same-day Dress/Tech rehearsal.
This Fall’s programs start on/after September 20.

The application takes about 10 minutes.
In it, you’ll be asked to:
Videos don’t need to be polished. Class footage, a past performance, or anything that shows how you move is plenty. They help our team and instructors place you where you’ll be challenged appropriately.
