Register for the 2026/2027 season.

Early registration is now open. Fill out the form below, send your payments, and we’ll follow up with everything you need for the season ahead.

Important — please read all information

Early registration is now available. If you register and make the required payments by Friday, July 17th, you’ll be eligible for the previous 2025/2026 class pricing. Prices increase on Saturday, July 18th.

If 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, and e-transfer your registration fee along with your first and last months’ payments to westshoredance@shaw.ca. 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 $405/month for your first dancer and $140/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.

Registration

Secure your spot

A spot is held only once payment is received, not by registering alone. Fill out the form below, then e-transfer your fees to complete your registration. To see how the week lays out, view the current schedule.

How payments work

A quick summary of the season, monthly fees, and how to pay.

Season length

Classes run from September through June — 10 months in total.

How monthly fees are calculated

Class fees are set as an average over the 10-month season. Some months have five of a given weekday and some have only three because of holidays, so spreading the cost evenly keeps your monthly payment the same throughout the year.

Monthly payments

Your first and last months’ tuition are paid up front with registration. The remaining monthly payments are due on the first of each month and can be made by cash, cheque, e-transfer, or credit card. A processing fee applies to credit card payments.

New payment platform this fall

We’re moving to a new payment platform in the fall. Once it’s ready, you’ll have the option to set up automatic credit card payments for your monthly fees if you’d like. Registration is still paid by e-transfer only. We’ll send more information in the coming weeks about paying your monthly fees beyond the first and last months while we finish updating our processors.

Estimate your fees

Calculate my fees

Add each dancer, tick the classes they’re taking, and we’ll work out what to e-transfer. Your first and last months’ tuition are due up front, so each class shows two lines. This is an estimate at 2025/2026 pricing — final amounts are confirmed at registration.

What to e-transfer

Send your registration fee + first and last months’ tuition by e-transfer to westshoredance@shaw.ca. The registration fee is non-refundable.
Please note: the monthly tuition cap does not apply to costume fees. Every class still has its own costume cost, billed in November, even for a capped dancer. These estimates also do not include:
  • 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.

Available classes

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.
