WE BELIEVE…

At Footprints Dance Centre we believe in three key values to create our whole dance education experience.

Community – First and foremost we want to instill our dancers with a sense of community. We want them to feel comfortable and relaxed as part of the Footprints Family. We provide a positive and encouraging learning environment to celebrate each student as an individual. We inspire our students to go above and beyond for their community through the power of dance. We don’t just teach your child how to dance, we want them to experience dance in a way that helps them become successful citizens of the world. We are so proud to host a variety of events and provide opportunities for our dancers to learn about their local communities like our Teacup and Tulip Birthday Party in support of the Oxford County Animal Rescue and our Halloween Bash in support of Epilepsy Support Centre.

Enjoyment – This is why we’re all here! FDC is a studio where the love of dance comes first and foremost. Ensuring that our dancers are encouraged and supported through their love of dance is a prime value when our dance educators lesson plan. Our dancers are given many opportunities throughout the year to let loose and have a little fun with their dance friends – from spirit themed dress up weeks to special weekend events like spa nights and studio sleepovers.

Technique – Whether you just want to dance for the love of it or to pursue dance as a career, we support all our dancers in their dance dreams. Our dance educators are all certified instructors who take pride in teaching dance technique correctly and more importantly, with kindness for all learners. We are proud to offer various streams for our dancers to pursue — from our recital division to our exam division and a competitive division as well.
