Welcome to Dance Kids CanadaOUR GOAL is to give every child a chance to dance.
OUR MISSION is to make dance education affordable for all families, as well as accessible to every child, while broadening your child's abilities. It's about more than just dance, it's about building character, and enhancing lives!
OUR PHILOSOPHIES include taking special care with our youngest dancers, insuring they get a happy and healthy introduction to the art. Our classes are structured for their success. We believe that a child's first years in the dance class are the most important in forming a healthy self image and strong appreciation for learning the arts.
Some other character building attributes your child will develop through dance include, cooperation, attentiveness, an open mind, encouragement, respect, self discipline, commitment, confidence, friendship, and leadership.
Remember, dancing is fun. It is endorsed by the Canadian Government as an appropriate physical fitness activity for children. It improves posture, balance and flexibility. Dance builds character, confidence and teamwork. Dance is appreciated throughout the world and embraced by many cultures.
~ Please join us, our door is always open.

RECITAL HANDBOOK 2009
Philosophy, Policies, and Procedures
Dear Parents and Students,For more than five years, Dance Kids Canada has provided students with an exciting performance experience through its May recital. The annual staple of the dance school, the recital, conjures images of childhood for many. It’s a rite of passage for thousands of youngsters, a chance to shine in front of family and friends that they anticipate with nervous excitement.
The recital offers our students a professionally directed performance that allows them to present to their families and friends the results of a year’s hard work, dedication, and progress.
A big part of the dance training process includes learning through performance. The experience helps build self-esteem, self-assurance, and contributes to a sense of confidence. Although performance opportunities can help prepare some students for a possible career in dance, they also contribute to children’s success in non-dance activities. That onstage experience can result in better in-school presentations, improved social skills, and strong interview skills for future college or job opportunities. The rehearsal process is a tremendous learning experience as well. It helps the children develop retention skills, and by working with their classmates on a group performance, they learn the positive aspects of working as a team to create the best end result.
Dedication to recital commitments is the responsibility of both students and their parents. We’ve created this handbook in an effort to clarify what we expect from you in terms of commitments and responsibility to the annual recital, the school, and other students and parents.
