Summit School of Dance & Music has been chosen as a Favourite in the 2017 Metro Community Choice Awards – Best Dance Studio category!

We had been holding off on signing our daughter up for classes next year to see how some other activities went for her over the summer. But she was so proud of herself today after the recital that there is no way we can’t put her back into it!

We’ve danced in a couple of places in Calgary and found Summit School of Dance to be the overall most satisfying experience. The teachers are passionate and professional, and unlike other schools, the fact that our daughter isn’t a perfect ballerina body type has never been an issue. We like that they reinforce positive body image and don’t make her feel like there are classes she can’t do because she’s not “the type”. It would be nice if they had their recitals closer to where we live, but I am sure getting a space large enough in the city to hold everyone at once isn’t as easy as picking up the phone. It can be a little pricey, but we have a son in hockey and it doesn’t even come close to touching that so we don’t complain too much about price.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the staff at Summit School of Dance and Music. My daughter is a very shy and quiet girl and with the continued positive role modelling from the teachers at Summit it has brought her out of her shell. Her grades have improved as well as her confidence, her teacher at school commented and said whatever we were doing to continue it.. I also love the fact Summit is so committed to teaching dance technique and not just interested in teaching cool moves. Children who dance should have structure as well as strength in the art and not just learn routines Summit does this with pride so thank you all at Summit.

Every year in June our Little Dancers get to shine up on stage at our Annual Recital !

This is often the moment when children really learn to love dance. Getting to have a special costume and head onto the Big Stage, just like the older dancers makes them feel like a star.

It is so amazing to watch a dancer who at the beginning of the dance year may have been nervous to go to class, but then gets up on stage and struts their stuff for their loved ones to watch.

These little ones can be unpredictable on stage, but that is part of the fun. Our Tiny Toes, Happy Feet, Primary and Junior dancers always steal the show with their adorable smiles, bright shining faces and sweet dances!
