Ballet, tap and jazz-lyrical for adults 19 and over, from first-timers to experienced dancers, in Steveston, Richmond.
Prices are monthly over 10 months, September to June, plus GST and the yearly membership fee. Once a month we also run drop-in nights (jazz, hip hop and heels, $28 a class), and we hope to turn them into a semester class from January.
You’re welcome here. Adult Ballet is a beginner class, Adult Jazz-Lyrical is open to every level, and our teachers adapt each class to the people in the room. Your first class is free.
Adult ballet is a great workout for the whole body. Ballet is weight-bearing exercise that strengthens muscles, supports healthy bones and burns calories. Because it uses the full range of muscles, it also helps coordination and concentration.
I have really enjoyed my dance classes at the Arts Conservatory. The teachers were always very friendly and encouraging and the classes were at the exact level of difficulty for me. Being a senior, I found that the tap was not only a good workout for my body, but for my brain and coordination as well. Ballet certainly helped with my posture and balance and with all those pointed toes, ballet really helped strengthen my feet as well. The added stretching after class always left me feeling destressed and relaxed. I am very much looking forward to classes starting up again this fall.
Kathleen Baldwin, Adult Ballet & Adult Tap
Learn a few basic patterns and you’re off to a great cardio workout. Tap gets your heart rate up in a way that’s more fun than a jog around the block, and it tones the legs and core.
Jazz-Lyrical mixes the energy of jazz, set to popular music, with the flowing, expressive movement of lyrical. It’s for every level, and it’s our adult class that takes the stage: you’ll perform in our year-end recital at the Massey Theatre in New Westminster on 20 June 2027 (recital fee and costume extra).
