Leap Studios' children and youth dance programs are supported by the best curricula and research-backed resources to support children and youth through every stage of development.
Depending on where dance fits in your family's schedule and your child's interest level, you choose a path that works best for you. Our trained, educated, and experienced faculty take a "student-centred" approach to teaching, so each student is honoured for their unique learning style, abilities, and aspirations - whether it's dance for socialization or advanced training for pre-professional opportunities.
Conveniently located near Aspen Woods in Calgary, our dance school incorporates mind and body development through dance. Leap dancers enjoy an inclusive environment that is both stimulating and nurturing. Leap is not your average dance studio - we aim for so much more than dancing.
