A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTORS
Shelley Shearer School of Dance has been a leading and influential dance school in the Winnipeg community for many years! As we enter our 40th season we attribute the success of the school to our incredible staff who not only create a professional environment for our students but who deeply and genuinely care about each and every dancer that enters the school.
Our dance program is constantly growing and developing and this year we’re excited to introduce our new Preschool Acro program for ages 3-5! Whether you are new to dance or looking for a more competitive program we have the right program for you. We strive to ensure every dancer feels a part of the Shelley Shearer community by making sure our dancers are nurtured, valued, encouraged and challenged.
We are incredibly grateful to be the recipient of the Consumer Choice Award for 2025 for best dance school in Winnipeg. As we look ahead to a new season of dance, we are delighted to be able to continue the long standing tradition of excellence in dance in Winnipeg. We look forward to sharing our passion for dance with our students.
