If you’re new or returning and haven’t registered for classes yet, please click the button below to register through our online system. Please read through the full instructions on this page before you begin — they cover class placement, fees, and how to pay. You can come back to this page at any time.
Register hereIf this is your first year dancing with us, please review the charts showing the appropriate ages for each class style. If you’ve danced with us before, you should have received a sheet with your child’s recommended levels for registration. If you’re unsure, please refer to the class chart with age recommendations. Dancers will be assessed during September for appropriate placement and moved if necessary.
Please fill out all requested information when you register, then send your registration fee along with your first and last months’ payments. You can pay by cash or cheque at the studio, by e-transfer to westshoredance@shaw.ca, or by credit card with a surcharge. The registration fee is non-refundable. Additional costume fees apply for each class and will be invoiced in November. After registration, you’ll receive important additional information about monthly class fee payments — please ensure you read all of it.
There’s a monthly maximum per dancer
No matter how many classes a dancer takes, monthly tuition is capped at $415/month for your first dancer and $155/month for each additional dancer in the same household. The cap applies to tuition only — the registration fee and costume fees are separate. You can see your exact total in the fee calculator below.
Secure your spot
A spot is held only once payment is received, not by registering alone. Register online, then send your registration fee plus your first and last months’ tuition. To see how the week lays out, view the current schedule.
In person
Cash or cheque at the studio during class hours.
E-transfer
Send to westshoredance@shaw.ca
Credit card

Calculate my fees
A reference tool to help you work out what’s due at registration. Add each dancer, tick the classes they’re taking, and it will add up the total. Your first and last months’ tuition are due up front, so each class shows two lines. This is an estimate — final amounts are confirmed at registration.
What’s due at registration
- Competitive company fees and costs
- Hip Hop Crew fees and costs
- Private lessons
- Solos, duos, and trios
Company & Crew classes are by audition only, and their pricing is separate from regular registration. If you select one, it won’t be added to your total — see your company instructor for specific pricing.
This calculator is a guide and may not account for every situation. If any discrepancy is found, the correct amount will be confirmed and adjusted after registration.
Classes by style
The age ranges below are general guidelines for new dancers. Dancers are placed in the level that best fits their ability, not just their age — and our teachers are happy to help with that. “By placement” means the level is set by the teacher rather than by age. Reach out anytime through registration and right up until the season starts, and we’ll guide you to the right class. To see how the week lays out, view the current schedule.
