About Dance Essence

Dance Essence is a training center located in the Cleardale neighborhood on Wharncliffe South Plaza, serving young dancers in the London area. The studio describes itself as a family-oriented environment that prioritizes personalized attention by maintaining small class sizes. It offers high-energy, physically engaging classes in various genres, including Ballet, Jazz, Lyrical, Acro, Tap, Musical Theatre, Hip Hop, and Breakdance. The studio also provides a specific Early Years Training Program and specialized instruction for young dancers. The facility is a Royal Academy of Dance certified studio, featuring instructors who are part of the organization's global network of trained professionals. Students can participate in Royal Academy of Dance ballet examinations and Acrobatic Arts certified instruction, which focuses on five divisions: Flexibility, Strength, Balancing, Limbering, and Tumbling. While exams are not compulsory, the decision to enter a student is made by the teacher based on the child's age, natural ability, and mastery of the grade. Founded in 2013, the studio is led by Owner and Studio Director Ms. Katy. The business emphasizes dancer safety by providing studios equipped with sprung floors covered in vinyl composite to absorb shock and prevent slipping. Additionally, the studio has a chiropractor on site to assist with dancer needs. Practical amenities include office services available during class sessions for handling registrations, payments, and scheduling questions.
