Our recreational, street dance, part time and competitive programs run from September – June. Our open/drop in classes are available from September-June and Tuesday evenings in the summer months of July and August (please see our Summer Drop In Schedule for dates and times).

Absolutely. The unique service that only Creative Edge provides caters to dancers who require flexibility in their schedules. The drop-in program offers multiple classes to dancers of various age and skill levels to participate in classes as often as they would like. We have payment structures that allow you to participate in one class, 5 classes, 10 or 20 classes. Students in our full-time competitive program are allowed unlimited open classes as part of their program.

Creative Edge is open to all; we offer classes on both a competitive and recreational level in several different styles of dance. Our Creative Movement class students start as young as 2.5 years old. We also welcome dancers from across Halton to take part in our drop in programs or intensive dance workshops with Guest Choreographers.

The health and safety of dancers, parents and staff is our top priority. See below for the following steps we will be taking this September. Steps will be taken to ensure Creative Edge adheres to all requirements from the Ministry of Health. All dance rooms have been measured and taped to ensure 2m distances Class Size will be limited. Hallways and Common Areas have been measured with floor signage to ensure 2m distances. We will follow the usual health and safety requirements we have always followed in the past in addition to extra disinfecting and cleaning practices implemented throughout the day (bathrooms, commonly touched areas etc). All participants and staff will be screened upon arrival. Those showing signs and/or symptoms of Covid-19 will not be permitted in the building. Additional hand hygiene practices will be required of all staff and participants. Hand sanitizers will be placed in all room, entrances, exits and common areas. Participants will be required to maintain the 2m distances unless wearing masks. Each participant will have a designated area in the room to dance in. Please note these policies are subject to change.

We offer competitive programs for dancers 6 years and up. The instructors select dancers from the recreational stream to train 4+ hours a week. We attend 4 competitions a year. We would be happy to arrange an audition and meeting with our Artistic Director. We are extremely proud of our competitive dance team and welcome new members. Please email us to set up an appointment with the Artistic Director.

You can download our registration package or come into the studio and sign your child up. Our friendly staff will be able to help you with all questions and concerns you may have about dance.

Our studio is open Monday to Thursday from 4:00pm-8:00pm, and Saturday 9:00am – 1:00pm. Please keep in mind that our hours of operation may vary slightly from year to year. If you have any concerns please feel free to contact us.

The age a child can begin to dance varies as to their level of dance. There are no definitive barriers to dance based on age or ability. Creative Edge can help you assess that ability and find exactly what works for you. Don’t forget we also offer programs for young children who start our Creative Movement class at 2 1/2 years of age.

Yes. Recreational and Competitive students need to buy costumes, as they are a big part of the dance season. At the beginning of the dance season at registration time there is a deposit fee for each performance that your dancer is in throughout the season with the remainder to be paid as performance season/competition rolls around. Due to the nature of designing and creating costumes, it is impossible to say what the final balance will be. However, Creative Edge keeps in mind the need for financial responsibility and does an excellent job balancing the fabulous costumes with affordability.

Creative Edge Dance Studio has 2 recitals or shows - as we like to call them - because we try to put on a show with your children as the star. There will be 2 recitals/shows at the end of our season in June. We also put on a “Pre-Show” for our competitive dancers, usually in March before competitions begin.

Shoes for hip hop are non-marking indoor running shoes. Tap shoes are needed for tap classes, pointe shoes are required for pointe, ballet shoes are required for ballet and jazz shoes are required for jazz. No shoes are required for acro. Please see our attire page or ask the front desk for a full list of exact requirements.

All classes are closed to parents so teachers and students can retain their focus without distraction. However we will have celebration days where parents can come watch recreational students for an entire class. If your child attends one of our workshops we do offer a unique observer package for parents where they are able to view the class from an observation studio.

Absolutely not. If you want to learn to dance then we will find the right class for you. Generally every class is based on age and ability. It is very important to the students to fit in socially. We offer classes for students as young as 2.5 right up to adult. For every class we have a beginners level as well as a more experienced group. If you are unsure as to where you fit in please feel free to call or come for a visit.

That is entirely up to you. If your schedule is busy and you are looking for a recreational program we can schedule you in for one or two classes weekly. If you want more from dance and can commit to more classes, we can accommodate that too! It’s all up to you – the dancer.

Each class has a uniform code which will be given to you with your registration package.

Our weekly classes run from mid-September through mid-June. Holidays are not included. We have tuition in equal monthly instalments September- June. Payments can be made by monthly pre-authorized payments via credit card (Visa/MasterCard), debit, e-transfer, or post-dated cheques. We offer discounts for multiple classes or dancers within the same family. There is a $45 registration fee per family and a $125 recital fee (per child, per class). Both are non-refundable. If your dancer wishes to not continue dancing, the studio must be advised in writing 30 days prior and you will be required to pay the remaining month's lessons. Non-attendance is not accepted as a cancellation notice from any class. If costumes have already been ordered, you are responsible for full payment of all costumes for all dancer(s). Please call or visit the studio for more information regarding payment options.
