On Stage Dance has been Stratford’s first choice in dance education for 19 years. Here are just a few of the reasons why our dance families choose On Stage Dance:<\/p>\n

Our programs!<\/h2>\n

At On Stage there is a program for everyone! Children aged 2 all the way up to adults are welcome. We ensure that all students receive the same well-rounded training, from beginner to advanced. We begin by nurturing each child\u2019s innate love for movement, and guide them to the joy that dancing can bring. All of our programs move beyond simply learning & repeating a recital routine, to include aspects such as dance composition, improvisation, dance history, anatomy, music theory, & more! What your child can learn is unlimited\u2026 The sky\u2019s the limit!<\/p>\n
