With over 20 years of experience, Counterpoint Dance Academy offers vibrant and intense dance classes for all ages. From preschool dancers aged 3-4 to children's classes for ages 4 and up, every young artist is catered to at Counterpoint Dance Academy.

Led by our Studio Director, Gillian Howatt, who has received professional training from well-known companies such as The National Ballet of Canada and The Alberta Ballet, Counterpoint Dance Academy is dedicated to providing quality dance instruction.

At Counterpoint Dance Academy, we believe in the importance of dance not only for physical development, but also for social and emotional growth. Dance classes help children develop healthy muscles, enhance flexibility, build social skills, and boost self-esteem. With a focus on self-expression and creativity, dance classes at Counterpoint Dance Academy tap into children's innate love of music and movement.

Our preschool classes are taught by qualified, experienced, and fun instructors who are passionate about sharing the joy of dance with young children. Our Disney Make Believe and Hippity Hop Combo Class, for example, is a perfect introduction to both Ballet and Hip Hop for kids who love to move. With a focus on rhythm, coordination, motor skills, and a love for dance and movement, this class is suitable for ages 3-4.
