DANCE ESSENCE STUDIO
Dance Essence is located at 820 Wharncliffe Rd S., London. It is a 4870 square foot space consisting of three dance studios, all with viewing windows.
There are boys and girls change rooms, 2 accessible washrooms, office, kitchen area, staff room, costume storage room and parent/student waiting areas. We want our dancers and parents to feel comfortable while waiting for class to begin or end.
DANCE FLOOR
Dance involves a tremendous amount of jumping which puts a large amount of stress on joints, especially the back and knees. To alleviate this problem in young growing bodies, a proper dance floor is essential. This is composed of a sprung floor under the top surface that absorbs the shock of landing jumps. For safety, the top floor should be composed of a vinyl composite that allows dancers to be able to slide as required, but not to slip and fall.
Dance Essence has a sprung floor in both studios, covered with a vinyl composite dance floor to ensure the safety of our dancers.
SMALL CLASS SIZES
Our small class sizes ensure that our young dancers have the personalized attention they require. This allows the teacher to make sure that new concepts and skills are understood by the dancers. Teachers have more time to give constructive corrections and ensure they are implemented correctly. There is more dancing and less waiting for their turn. From a safety perspective, teachers are able to monitor movements of the children in class. Dance Essence is committed to keeping class
