Winnipeg Dance Classes - Ages 6+

Lessons Designed To Suit Any Dancer

Jazz - Ages 6+

Jazz is a fun, upbeat class combining technical elements and creativity, all while increasing flexibility, strength and musicality. Jazz tends to be a faster paced dance form performed to popular music, new and old. Instructors teach the art of performance along with challenging each dancer. This class is a great way to improve dancers' coordination and build their cardiovascular levels in an energetic and performance based setting. Students enrolled in a Jazz class are strongly encouraged to enrol in Ballet.

Lyrical - Ages 12+

Lyrical dance typically displays slower movements which incorporate technique and flexibility. With its foundation firmly placed in the Ballet world, a variety of Jazz-like movements are used to showcase strength and control while the dancer tells a story through movement. It is a “free-er” moving discipline with emphasis on strong technique. Students enrolled in Lyrical are strongly encouraged to enrol in Ballet.

Acro - Ages 6+

This Acro class combines dance technique with acrobatic elements. With a focus on concentration, balance, flexibility and control, students will work on strengthening their bodies to perform a variety of skills such as head/ hand stands, back bridges, cartwheels, and aerials. RDC is fully certified on all levels under the Acrobatic Arts syllabus. Dancer safety is a top priority and mats are provided. Note: This class does not cover basic dance skills therefore registration in additional technical dance classes is required.

Hip Hop - Ages 6+

Hip Hop encompasses movement with punch and style. Often popular music is used to encourage students to loosen up and explore their inner swag! This upbeat class is a great workout where students can have fun, gain confidence, and channel their inner Diva or Gangsta. Students will learn all aspects and styles within Hip Hop from Breaking to House. If you are looking for something light and fun then this is a class you do not want to miss. 

Ballet - Ages 6+

Ballet classes are the critical foundation of all dance styles. Ballet improves strength, agility, flexibility, and balance, while increasing the students' focus and body awareness. In this class students are taught to use proper posture, poise, and to present themselves in a graceful manner. All RDC ballet classes are based on the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) graded syllabus, which promotes a strong understanding of ballet technique and is the largest examination and teacher training syllabus in the world. Note: All ballet students participate in RAD Moch Exams scheduled in February.

Pointe - Ages 12+

Ballet classes are the critical foundation of all dance styles. Students will begin the start of the year strengthening the ankles and improving their technique. Once the dancer is prepared the instructor will begin to incorporate beginner pointe work into the lesson plan. If your dancer is looking to take their ballet training a step further then Pointe is the perfect way for them to advance and challenge themselves.

Dance Performances and Events

At Royal Dance Conservatory we want to give all our students a chance to shine! Every student will be provided with at least two performance opportunities throughout the year. In addition to this there will be several other events to allow them to get their most out of their RDC experience. 
Parents Week
All students are welcome to bring family members to each of their classes to observe and participate during this week! This is a fun time for the students to share their passion for dance. Chairs will be set up for parents so they can observe and participate.
Winter Gala
This show benefits dancers by giving them more experience performing on stage and highlighting their efforts for all their friends and family! This gala is a more casual event than the year end recital. With this more relaxed environment dancers focus more on having fun on stage and getting over their fears before the year end recital. The Winter Gala is a great way to start the new year!
Ballet Exams
All students registered in Ballet participate in Moch Ballet Exams. Exams are a great way to provide the recreational division an enjoyable, low stress experience that allows dancers to grow and challenge themselves. The process includes a focus on specifc exercises in regular classes, as well as one extra rehearsal to learn exam etiquette. Participating is an opportunity for students to show what they know, receive feedback from an outside adjudicator and gain a sense of accomplishment in their study of ballet.
Picture Days
In the spring a professional photographer will take individual and group shots of the students wearing their costumes. Remember to order pictures so these memories last a lifetime!
Year End Recital
The RDC season ends with an annual May Recital. All classes perform a routine they have been rehearsing the past few months. All students are required to order costumes to participate. Tickets for the annual dance recital will go on sale in Spring of the new year. More detailed information will be communicated closer to the event.
