At DBSD we want our dancers to realize their potential and follow their dreams. We have a place for the recreational dancer as well as the full time student. Every dancer and their dance education is equally important at DBSD. Work your hardest, have fun and we will take care of the rest!
DBSD IS GRATEFUL TO BE ABLE TO SHARE OUR LOVE OF DANCE ON TREATY ONE TERRITORY, HOME OF THE CREE, OJI-CREE, DAKOTA, AND DENE PEOPLE, AND THE HOMELAND OF THE METIS NATION. WE ARE AWARE OF THE HURT CAUSED BY COLONIALISM ON TREATY ONE AND ACROSS TURTLE ISLAND, AND ARE DEDICATED TO THE WORK OF HEALING AND RECONCILIATION. WE ASK THAT OUR DBSD COMMUNITY KEEP US ACCOUNTABLE.
“My daughters have each been dancing with DBSD for the past 8 years. It’s been amazing watching them build their repertoire of skill and knowledge under DBSD’s amazing teachers. What makes DBSD special, though, isn’t just the exceptional dance instruction; it’s the focus on inspiring dancers to respect themselves, each other, and dance. DBSD staff communicate regularly with families so that we are always up to date regarding scheduling, photos, competitions, and everything else a dance parent needs to know. We love DBSD and are proud to be part of the “DBSD Fam!””
