Hello
We are Concepts Dance Studio!
We are a competitive focused dance studio located in Pickering Ontario. We strive to provide safe, high quality and effective training to all of our students while giving them the opportunity to train with some of Canadas top industry professionals. We strive to guide all of our students towards achieving their personal best and reaching a true sense of inner self confidence.
About
Opened in the Summer of 2021, Concepts Dance Studio brought something new to the Durham Region Dance Studio Market. Our mission at Concepts is to have a competitive and training focused dance facility that puts emphasis on quality dance education and training. We bridge a gap between a youth training facility and an entry point into all of the professional possibilities that dance can possibly have post secondary. Our top tier faculty as well as our guest teachers who are some of Canadas top educators bring their personal experience and connections within the dance industry that our students can benefit and learn from. Our goal is to bring the joy and love of dance to all of our students within all of our programs.
