Intensive dance training in downtown Halifax

Training Programs

Every summer we run training programs with some of the best instructors in the country.

Built with intention. Designed for growth.

Our training programs are designed to help you grow as a dancer through consistency, structure, and expert guidance. Drop-in classes are great for variety. Training programs go deeper: the same group training together week after week, in a supportive environment built around progression.

  • Each program runs a few weeks, with one session a week.
  • A different instructor leads each week, sharing their own material and approach.
  • Sessions run longer than a regular drop-in class: time to break down, drill, and refine.
  • Every program has its own level, from open to advanced, so the group moves at one pace.

What you’ll work on

These programs are designed to help dancers train with intention and build a deeper understanding of movement, musicality, and performance quality. You’ll receive real-time guidance and dive into technique, texture, and artistry, all in a supportive setting where you’ll grow alongside other dancers committed to their craft.

  • Technique, fundamentals, and performance presence
  • Vocabulary building and drills in the various styles
  • Body awareness and movement quality
  • Dynamics, textures, and musicality
  • Developing your personal style
  • Skills for choreo pick-up and retention

Whether you’re preparing for future opportunities or simply want to invest more seriously in your growth, our training programs give you the space and structure to level up.

Questions

Am I at the right level?

Some dance experience is recommended: the programs aren’t built for total beginners. Beyond that, the level labels are about pace and group cohesion, so your instructors can prepare accordingly and everyone is challenged appropriately.

If a program excites you and you’re ready to be pushed, apply for it.

What if I miss a session?

Each week is a different instructor sharing their own material, so there’s no falling behind. You’re just missing that week’s training.

One miss is totally fine, you’ll still get plenty out of the program. More than one? Still apply, and note your conflicts in your application. If there’s space after we review all applicants, we may still offer you a spot at a discounted rate to make up for the sessions you’d miss.
