Edmonton Childrens Dance Theatre

EDMONTON CHILDREN’S DANCE THEATRE is a Performing Arts School that offers children and adult classes in dance, drama, and voice. Although taught separately, all classes are inter-related and culminate in a full musical theatre production at the end of the season. Classes are taught by highly qualified and experienced instructors and performers in the disciplines offered. Class sizes are small (maximum of 10 students) with two staff present at all times. Most classes are generally open to parents at all times. Students are accepted from ages 2 - adult. Each student is given the opportunity to dance, sing and act throughout the year. They are encouraged to participate in workshops, competitions, festivals, auditions and various performing opportunities. As an enhancement to our curriculum, movie days are held to introduce various styles of dance and theatre. Field trips to local and touring performance groups are also offered. Additional performing opportunities are offered through our two Performing Companies: Edmonton Children’s Dance Theatre Company and the Young Performers. Dance Theatre tuition fees are amongst the lowest in the city. Parents may obtain tuition assistance by participating in the E. D. Parent’s Association’s various fund raising activities. Students may earn a scholarship towards their tuition by participating in our self-directed learning program Intra-School Challenge. We strive to offer an inclusive program where students of all ages, levels and abilities are welcome. It is our goal to foster a life long love and appreciation of the performing arts in each of our students.
