New programs, and new opportunities to shine! Introducing Kennedy School of Dance. Our mission remains the same to provide a nurturing and enriching environment for children to discover the joy of dance and unlock their full potential.

Located in the heart of East York, Kennedy School of Dance offers a wide range of dance classes including ballet, contemporary, and jazz/hip-hop for children aged 2 years and up. Our classes are designed to foster creativity, build confidence, and promote physical fitness.

Our team of experienced and passionate instructors, led by founder Erin Kennedy, is dedicated to providing a positive and inclusive learning environment for all students. With small class sizes and individual attention, we ensure that each child receives the support they need to excel in their dance journey.

In addition to our regular dance classes, we are excited to introduce our new Creative Kids Club, an after-school program designed to provide a safe and stimulating environment for children to learn, play, and grow. With a focus on arts & crafts, dance, yoga, and outdoor play, the Creative Kids Club offers a holistic approach to enrichment beyond the traditional classroom setting.

At Kennedy School of Dance, we believe in the power of dance to inspire, educate, and uplift. Join us in celebrating the magic of movement and watch your child's dreams take centre stage. Visit our About page to learn more about our philosophy, approach, and team. Let's dance together!
