Join the Citadel Dance Program, offering weekend classes in Creative Movement, Ballet, Bharatanatyam and Tap.

Established in 2012, the Citadel Dance Program (CDP) provides weekend dance classes for children and youth in our local community of Regent Park. Our mandate is to make dance both accessible and visible to those living in our neighbourhood and to empower youth through the arts.
We welcome students of all levels of training and experience – from curious beginners to practiced movers – and work to foster a positive, inclusive environment that supports the individual development and creative expression of each student.
We are excited to announce that CDP will return for in-studio classes beginning October 14, 2023, with classes for students in JK to Grade 6 in Creative Movement, Ballet, Bharatanatyam and Tap.
