Guelph Academy of Dance

Welcome to the Guelph Academy of Dance Inc.

Our studio offers a unique opportunity for children to learn to dance in a non-competitive environment where the emphasis is placed on the art form, proper training, technique, and love of movement. We offer children’s classes in Creative Movement, Ballet (Royal Academy of Dance), Pointe, Jazz, Tap, Musical Theatre, Contemporary, and Hip-Hop for ages 2 to Adult.
