We offer dance classes running from September to June and also during the fall, winter and spring sessions. Classes are offered in a range of styles for all ages, from recreational to pre-professional training. Many classes perform in the year-end dance recital or in competitions. Classes are held at Place des Arts and off-site at the Evergreen Cultural Centre (1205 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam).

The price for Sep-Jun classes listed on the following pages is the total cost of the classes for the entire season. A monthly payment plan option is available for these classes.

Fees and deposits are due at the time of enrolment. A full refund of fees and deposits will be granted if notice to withdraw is provided before October 31. Refunds will not be granted after this date has passed.

A $45 year-end dance recital production fee is applied per student enrolling in one or more Sep-Jun dance class(es) that participates in the year-end dance recital. This fee is used to offset the production costs (sets, props, venue rental) and the video of the annual year-end dance recital. Each student will receive a password-protected online video link to view the dance recital video.

All students performing in our annual year-end dance recital or in dance competitions will require a costume for each dance they perform. A $90 costume deposit is applied per Sep-Jun dance class that participates in competitions or performs in the recital.

Dance competitions are annual adjudicated competitions that take place from March to May. A $100 competition festival entry fee will be applied to each competitive class and is payable at the time of registration.

*This is the estimated cost for the deposit(s). Depending on the final cost, you may be required to pay more, or a portion of the deposit(s) may be returned.
