For many students, the Institute of Dance is the first step in an exciting journey that can take them around the world. Our dancers have travelled far beyond Winnipeg attending both national and international competitions. They’ve won prestigious awards, and more importantly, found their calling. If you’d like to learn more about the Institute of Dance, contact us today.
We strive to give our students the best education possible. Not only will they receive excellent training in a variety of styles, but they will also grow as a contributing member of the community. Dancing can help to build confidence, self-esteem, and physical health. On this page, see photos of our dancers in action.
