Dance Studio

We've been with the studio for a few years and it is an excellent dance studio. The teachers are all friendly, passionate and willing to share their experience. Studio owner is caring, professional and dedicated to the students.

Professional training with a family feel. We’ve tried a few dance schools in Ottawa, but Canadian School of Dance stands out for its professionalism and the quality of instruction. The recitals are beautifully organized, and the kids gain so much confidence performing on stage.

Was told that I would be able to follow along with the class being a total beginner, got there and realized I was led astray. The instruction was not bad but I was not in the right class and by that point it was too late to change. Sustained a knee injury and wanted to get credited for the remaining classes, as in credits for a drop in class some time later in the year when my knee would be better, but was refused. Not a pleasant experience and I won't be returning. I'm glad people have had a better experience but if you're considering having a flexible schedule I would recommend not pursuing this school.

My experience with Dance with us Ottawa has been amazing over the past few years. They have taught me a lot and have gotten me from begginer to having a gold medal in youth amateur competitions. They are very welcoming and all teachers are amazing!

A friendly welcoming environment inclusive of all regardless of size, gender, ethnicity, sexuality, and level of fitness. All the instructors are accommodating and love giving a helping hand. The variation in classes (stretch class to pole class to boot camp to acrobatics etc) means having something for everyone to enjoy. Love my dance family and the feeling of home away from home. Recommend to everybody!

Very happy with out experience at A2Y!! our daughter loves going and you can tell everyone working there loves what they do!! highly reccomend!!!!

Amazing teachers !! Awesome studio !! Great fun . A real family friendly environment where all students and lovers of dance can excel and build lasting friendships !!!

AMAZING staff and hardworking teachers! So happy to dance here :)

Have you heard the saying "Dance enables you to find and lose yourself at the same time"? That is precisely what happens at Artistica! Instructors teach not only technique but also styling, enabling you to express your unique personality on the dance floor. This combination of skill and self expression fosters a liberating passion, true for both my instructor Patrick, and the entire team. With them there is no wrong step, but a better way to do it. Group classes introduce you to a various rhythms, provide social opportunities and allow you to dance while enjoying drinks and snacks. Once you start dancing, you won't want to stop thanks to everyone's caring attitude, charisma and of course Anastasia infectious laughter. Instructors are truly exceptional. Count me in for the next season!

We have been part of the NLDS dance family since 2008! All 3 of our daughters have enjoyed dancing year after year from both recreational programs to the competitive dance team. The studios talented dance instructors and awesome dance families have created a love of dance in a supportive environment where dancers build confidence and invaluable life skills. While we have enrolled our girls in many different activities, this is by far their favourite!!!

Very positive environment. My daughter came out of her shell taking an Acro class with Miss Stephanie. The staff say hello and engage you in conversation that is a big deal to me.

Had my daughters birthday part at The Move and it was great! Very personable staff who should the kids a really good time. Thank you!!

Everyone's love for dance and each other is demonstrated year after year. So glad we had the decision to dance at SDC when we moved to Newmarket. Teachers are fabulous. Dances are competitive. Students are family.

Best pole dancing studio around! Great atmosphere with amazing instructors that use their craft to empower and make you strong and fit! If you keep thinking, "I could never lift myself!", after your sessions, you'll pride yourself in seeing otherwise.
