Every season ends with our year end dance recital, where every student gets the opportunity to shine on stage in their recital performance and showcase what they’re learned during the year.

Yes, all students in both our recreational and competitive programs are required to wear uniforms to class as well as our required footwear. All uniform items can be purchased at our in-house dance supply store, Vancouver Dance Supply, located at our Dance Co Arbutus location!

We offer dance classes for children aged 3-18. Dancers must have turned 3 by the date of their first class with Dance Co.

To officially withdraw from a class the parent / legal guardian must complete and submit a discontinuation form (available at our office), no later than October 31st. One third of the tuition and registration fee are non-refundable upon registration and there are no refunds on any tuition, costume or performance fees after October 31st.

At Dance Co, we want to encourage trust between our students and their teacher as well as foster independence in our dancers. While most parents have the best intentions in wanting to watch their child in dance class, as dance educators we’ve found that children are less likely to pay attention with a parent in class or watching through a window. To ensure that your child gets the most out of their class and in order to eliminate class distractions as well as to implement proper safety measures throughout our studio, we do not allow parents or guardians to view classes in progress. This also makes our performances that much more exciting for our dancers as they cannot wait to show off what they have been working on in class! :)
