Established in 1999, this year we celebrate 15 years of nurturing young dancers in their passion for dance and performance. Turning Pointe offers students an opportunity to learn and grow in all areas of life through their dance experience and we are very proud of our students' accomplishments inside and outside our classrooms. All ages and levels, whether you wish to dance for fun or train intensively, our studio welcomes and inspires dancers to reach their full potential and celebrate in their success!
The SPACE is a full performing arts centre focused on building self-esteem. We encourage students to dream, challenge them to develop determination and perseverance along with technique, and give them the confidence both to get up on stage and perform, and to believe in themselves. We offer classes for children and adults taught by industry professionals in a warm, supportive atmosphere.
