STUDENTS SHINE IN OUR UNIQUE PROGRAM FOR ASPIRING PERFORMERS
Join A Friendly And Successful Performing Group And Watch Your Child's Confidence Soar!
Join the vibrant community of Leap Studios’ Dance Teams and experience the power of a supportive environment, unparalleled opportunities, and friendship! Become part of a nurturing dance home where teamwork, empathy, and creativity reach the greatest heights through joyful learning from the best dance educators with the most diverse experiences and inclusive teaching methods.
Dance Team members participate in performances outside the studio (at competitions, festivals, and sports and arts events) and have the opportunity for enriched dance education through workshops and performances locally and abroad! We have taken classes and performed in New York and LA, from Radio City Music Hall to Disneyland, and our next trip will be announced soon!
Our approach goes beyond just teaching dance steps; we delve into the rich history and origins of various dance styles, ensuring our students develop a deep understanding and appreciation for the art form. With a focus on progressive skill acquisition, our expert educators guide students through every step of their dance journey, fostering growth and mastery with each class. We make sure that every dancer is highlighted in our routines, because we believe that every member of an ensemble is a star! We create new routines every year, because we believe in a student-centered philosophy that is built around giving students what they need is the greatest reward!
But it's not just about technique—our team of subject matter experts serves as both educators and collaborators, inspiring creativity and pushing boundaries while ensuring the holistic safety and wellness of each participant. Through improvisation and exploration, we nurture confidence in our students, empowering them to bring their skills and creativity beyond the classroom and onto the stage, and into their communities. Join us at Leap Studios, where we're not just teaching dance—we're shaping future extensive performing arts education
Together, we'll celebrate each other's successes, overcome challenges, and grow as dancers and individuals. Come join our community, where every step is a giant Leap into a rewarding journey.

This tier of dance education and experience is best suited for dancers who are self-motivated and dedicated to focusing on dance as their primary activity outside of school. Students in this program are interested in challenging themselves and working alongside teammates in the long term to develop their artistry and abilities together, and enjoy learning from different educators within the studio and out in the dance education community.
Students take 5 or more classes per week, and perform choreographed routines at 3 dance competitions in Alberta plus 3 or 4 local arts events including our year end studio recital.
