The Recreational Program

Seymour Dance offers recreational classes for all levels and all age ranges. These classes focus on building technique, teamwork and learning choreography. We offer non-competitive classes in Jazz, Lyrical, Ballet, Tap, Acro, Hip Hop, Breakdancing and more! This program is geared towards students looking to dance in a safe, fun, and engaging environment. There are no pre-requisites for the classes in this program. However, if you are unsure what level or class will be the best fit, you are welcome to have your dancer attend a drop-in class for an assessment by our teaching faculty!

Performances

Our recreational dancers perform in one large-scale performance at our yearly June recital. There are also additional opportunities to perform in our community which could include but are not limited to Holiday at the Shipyards, West Van Days and Blueridge Good Neighbour Day.
