Established in 1986 as a resource centre for dance professionals and the public in British Columbia, The Dance Centre is a multifaceted organization offering a range of activities unparalleled in Canadian dance. Our goal is to support the development of a vibrant dance scene in BC and increase the profile of dance, by providing resources and services for the dance profession; presenting public performances and events; operating one of Canada’s flagship dance facilities; and promoting BC dance. The Dance Centre is a non-profit organization and a registered charity.

Founded in 1986, our first years were spent inside a cozy old firehouse on Snelling Ave. Word about the new studio traveled quickly, and our dance family grew and grew; owner and founder Marcy McHenry (a professional dancer herself) began dreaming of a larger floor to quickstep on. In 2010, her vision became reality, and Dancers Studio moved six blocks up the street to a gorgeous new space – where it remains to this day. Some things haven’t changed, though. We remain committed to excellence, both on and off the dance floor. Our instructors are personally interested in each and every one of their students, and have the knowledge and experience to help meet a variety of dance goals; our outgoing and friendly administrative team is always around to greet clients, answer questions, and schedule lessons. Our Mission Statement: Dancers Studio is committed to being the industry leader in all of our activities through dedication to our customers and employees! Guiding Principles: Integrity – We act with honesty and sincerity in everything we do. We say what we mean, do what we say and build confidence in our team. Education/Continuous Growth – We provide an environment where our employees and our business can flourish and grow. We continually train with top coaches to be the very best at teaching dance. Teamwork – We work towards common goals through open communication, mutual support and win-win attitudes. We respect others differences and build upon our strengths. People Focus – We focus on our employees, customers and business associates, exceeding expectations in all that we do. Having Fun!
