Stages School of Dance is owned and operated by mother-daughter team Sheri and Courteny Green.
We have a wonderful team of accredited, joyful, and fun instructors that are on board with us every step of the way. Our primary objective is helping your child to reach their full potential in both dance and life. We believe the best education is a positive one, and through our methods we can encourage a love and appreciation of dance, the arts, and life long learning.
All of our instructors maintain a high standard of education, enthusiasm, love of children, and a passion for dance and will offer your student qualified and caring instruction.
The Styles we currently offer are:
We know that what our education offers encompasses far more than the individual skills your children learn. Dance training affords young people is a better understanding of commitment, self-discipline, respect, co-operation, and collaboration.
Help us give your child the opportunity experience teamwork, understanding, and joys of seeing what hard work can accomplish. Our goal is to educate the minds and bodies of our students, teaching them the lifelong skills needed for a successful future in everything they do.
The Stages dance season runs from September to June, focusing our attention and hearts on quality technique, diverse styles, and having lots of fun along the way. All dancers are afforded the same opportunity to showcase their hard work and effort in a professional setting at our year end recitals.
We also offer a Competitive program to dancers at all of our locations. Our Company Dancers travel to competitions throughout Canada and the United States. We have also had dancers compete in Barcelona and France in the past
Our head office in Cranbrook has 2 large, fully equipped studios with a dance store on site. It is currently the only facility of its kind in the East Kootenay. Dancers have the option of taking classes once a week or multiple classes per week depending on their age, level, and ability. We offer an exam program for dancers interested in ballet, tap, jazz, and Acro. The ballet program is based on the Royal Academy of Dance syllabus (RAD) while the jazz and tap program is based on the Associated Dance Arts for Professional Teachers (ADAPT) syllabi.
We want you to join our Dance Family.
Whether you are looking for a class for your wiggly, excited preschooler, your bright and bubbly 8 year old, or your studious teen, we offer a program for them. After school programs are available for students starting at age 2.5 to adult. No Dancer is the same and neither are our classes. We work with you to find the best program and fit for your child.
Our curriculum delivers teachings from a variety of schools and training methods but is mainly based on those of RAD, ADAPT, and Acrobatic Arts with the option of examinations.
"Dancing allows us to explore ourselves in so many ways, to learn about our limitations and strengths, our ability to cope with adversity and to go farther than we thought we could. When you’re a Dancer; You find out what you're made of."
