Dance Styles
A Style For Everyone
Westshore Dance Studios offers a wide range of dance styles and options for all age ranges and levels. Many dancers join our studio at a young age and graduate through levels with their peers. This, paired with our focus on community within the classroom, helps us build lasting friendships and encouragement within each dance group.
Three of our classes have accreditation for high school graduation (RAD Ballet, AIDT Modern/Jazz & Tap).
