We are so pleased to be re-introducing our ISTD Tap program for the new school year. 

We’ve missed our tappers! 

Classes will be available for beginners and beyond, from ages 5 to adult.

Our Academy students earned 1st place in group ballet for 14-yr-olds, and 2nd place for 12-yr-olds at the Surrey Festival of Dance.

Well done to all who performed!

Join us for Broadway Jazz dance classes (ages 4 to adult) in 2025-26!

Learn combos and movements from the latest dance trends in Broadway musicals and theatrical productions.

It's an exciting addition to our ISTD Modern Theatre Dance classes, which develop the technique to allow our students to perform Broadway Jazz so well!

We have reduced our summer intensives rates for 2025 to enable more students to attend.

We have increased our tuition fees for 2025-26 in ranges, starting at 1-3% for under 5 hours per week of classes.

We are adding the 2.4% merchant surcharge to credit card payments from Sep 1st to help offset increasing credit card fees.

All students please attend for your class photo. School Photo Day schedules will be available soon.

• Saturday, June 14, 4pm-7:30pm

No pre-orders or pre-payments are required - you can choose to purchase photos online later.
