From the reviews
A few years ago we had to switch dance companies due to our old one closing. After searching for months, trying out classes, auditioning at different studios we decided to settle down at Vaughan Dance Academy where my daughter joined their competitive team Innovation Dance Company.
A family owned dance studio that truly cares for your family. We have been a part of this dance family for over 5 years now and could not be more pleased with the care and consideration given to each student. The teachers know each child's name and ability.
My daughters have been dancing with Vaughan since they were tiny. They both are now on the competitive team (Innovation Dance Company) and my 14 year old takes recreational hip hop as well. The instructors take pride in what they do and really strive to bring out the best in the kiddos. They make beautiful dancers!
This place is AWSOME the teachers here are very nice but still do there best to push you, I have made so many new friends here!! And the best part is you don’t even have to do a competition team if you don’t want! I totally recommend this place if you’re looking for somewhere fun to dance
Your first ballet class at Vaughan Dance Academy
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
