Kootenay DanceWorks

Renée Salsiccioli is an exceptional dance teacher who brings an outstanding level of dance instruction to our small town. Her passion for teaching, her dance background and the love and care she shows towards her students makes Kootenay DanceWorks a first class dance studio. We are so lucky to have such a top notch studio in Rossland.

Watching Renée Salsiccioli work with children in dance is a gift on its own. Renée captures the magic of dance in the hearts of all those she works with, and the families of Rossland are so lucky to have Kootenay DanceWorks. I highly recommend!

My two girls are learning so much more than how to work hard in something they love; at Kootenay Danceworks they are learning how to be their best people through discipline, the challenge and magic of team work, and the fine balance of self care. This is so much more than a high caliber dance program.

I loved everything about the time I spent at Kootenay DanceWroks. The skills and lessons I learned as a dancer and a person from the close and personal mentorship of the amazing Renee Salsiccioli have helped guild me in more ways than I can explain. The studio offers high quality of teaching, a positive work environment and friends that can last a lifetime. 6 Years later I still look back on the 8 years I spent dancing with KDW, and am so thankful for how the studio and Renee has helped shape me into the person I am today!

I had the pleasure of growing up through Kootenay DanceWorks and this studio developed the utmost sense of dedication, teamwork, confidence and leadership vital to the person I am today! The quality of the training is incomparable and I could not recommend a better business.

Kootenay DanceWorks is a community-based dance company that instructs a variety of dance styles and teaches students to make life-long connections. As a former student of Mrs. Renée and Mrs. Dana, I can attest to the studio's professionalism and the enthusiastic atmosphere the instructors create. When I was dancing, there was never a dull moment; whether we were at the bar or in the centre, each lesson improved our skills and pushed us to develop new techniques. Kootenay DanceWorks also provides many opportunities for dancers to gain experience in performing, managing, and teaching. Overall, dance has helped shape my identity and taught me to be determined and resilient. It plays a role in how I present myself and how I take on challenges. If anyone is considering taking dance classes, I recommend Kootenay DanceWorks studio as they are very inclusive and have something for everyone!
