What our Parents Say

Our Daughter loves to dance and she is excelling at Mission Dance Centre. The instruction is excellent and the focus beyond just technique to health, nutrition, life skills… is helping build character and confidence. She loves going every week and their recent production of The Nutcracker was fantastic.

Jeff Baerg

Our family recently had the pleasure of attending Mission Dance Centre’s presentation of The Nutcracker. We have previously enjoyed other presentations of the same piece, but this particular one is one of the most memorable ones yet. Mission Dance Centre made all their own props and stage accessories, which were beautiful, wonderful, and impressive (like the small Christmas tree that grows right in front of you to a massive decorated tree). The dancers, from the adorable wee ones to the stunning older ones, were an absolute joy to watch. Their concentration and dedication to show was pure and real. Our eyes, ears, and hearts were entertained the entire show and we look forward to making this outing a yearly tradition. Thank you for the wonderful experience, your hard work and effort that have gone into achieving this presentation was definitely very appreciated by us!!

The Klose Family

“Finding an inclusive activity for my daughter has been challenging in the past. Our time at mission dance has been positive from day one! The teachers have been kind and patient and really give each child a feeling of being successful and important no matter the skill level. I’m very impressed at how Aeva’s teacher is able to navigate all of the diverse personalities and needs in the class while still making each class fun and rewarding. I couldn’t  be happier with our time at mission dance!”  

Kelli Christie

“We are so glad we came across Mission Dance Centre.  Our daughter was afraid to go back to dance classes due to a mishap at her previous dance school.  She was devastated as she really loved to dance but after having a bad experience was really turned off from continuing with her passion.  After meeting Tanya our daughter decided to give it a try and is now in love.  Tanya and her team are so patient and skilled.  We could not be happier our daughters are being molded by such great women.”
