DANCE TECHNIQUE PROGRAM
The Edge School Dance Program compliments and enhances the training which dancers receive through their own studios. The program includes regular classes in Ballet, Jazz, Contemporary, Modern and Lyrical technique. Students also study Musical Theatre, Hip Hop, Tap, Ballroom, African Dance and Performing Arts.
The Edge Dance faculty brings passion, dedication and commitment to helping our dancers improve their individual technique. This drive enables our dancers to take full advantage of everything Edge School has to offer its student-athletes from academic support, on-site sport psychology and sport physiotherapy as well as high performance training - all under the guidance of elite level teachers and coaches.
EDGE’S OWN DANCE STUDIOS
Our two professional dance studios at the Edge Calgary campus provide Edge School students and other dancers alike with the opportunity to train in a world-class environment. After hours, these studios are available for community programs, special workshops and auditions. We were fortunate to be the only Canadian location for the Joffrey Ballet (New York) Auditions in March 2010.
EDGE SCHOOL DANCE ALUMNI OPPORTUNITIES
Our dancers aspire to great futures after Edge School graduation – from the performing arts such as Cirque de Soleil, The Julliard School, Joffrey Ballet School and Boston Ballet to post-secondary schools which offer outstanding dance programs. We assist our dancers in preparing for that next big step – we work with their studios to ensure they are ready for whichever path they choose!
“The training my daughter receives at Edge is having a powerful impact on her overall performance. I’ve seen a marked improvement. She’s been able to compete successfully at the local, national and even international level”.
