Howe Sound Dance Academy | Recreational & Competitive Dance Classes

Our family has been dancing with HSDA for 7 years now. We especially love watching all the students grow over the years and how many become such wonderful TA's and beautiful teachers like Miss Lyndsay! Miss Alicia has done a wonderful job since taking over the studio and we love Miss Stephanie at reception too! Thank you for fostering a love for dance, confidence and joy in our little dancers.

Howe Sound Dance Academy has been the most wonderful experience for our family - my daughters (now 16 and 13) have grown and thrived here since they were 3. The caring team of HSDA teachers have supported, encouraged, and challenged the girls through many milestones. The friends they have made, the confidence they have built, and their sheer love of dance has been truly magical to witness. We are all so grateful for our HSDA family and would highly recommend this Squamish dance studio.

When we moved to Squamish I was thrilled to find this gem of a dance studio offering quality instruction and professional, kind teachers. At HSDA my girls have taken RAD and AIDT Exams as well as participating in festivals, competitions and recitals. They adore their teachers and the studio culture fosters friendships among the dancers. 10/10 recommend!

One of the things that impresses me the most about this dance studio is the level of dedication that the teachers have for their students. The instructors clearly care deeply about their students and are committed to helping them succeed not just in dance, but in life in general.Howe Sound Dance Academy works with both young children and teenagers. The instructors are able to connect with students of all ages, and they have a knack for making the dance classes fun and engaging, even for the youngest dancers. Whether a student is just starting out or have been dancing for years, the teachers are always there to offer guidance, encouragement, and constructive feedback.Overall, I would highly recommend this local dance studio to anyone looking for a supportive, engaging, and community-minded environment in which to learn and grow as a dancer. Whether you're a young child just starting out or a teenager with years of experience, this studio has something to offer you.

My daughter has been dancing with HSDA for 10 years. It is her second home. The confidence and poise she has gained through dance grows infinitely each year and the dedication, support and depth of the instructors is amazing. HSDA provides a safe, inclusive, and professional environment for dancers of all ages. I would highly recommend it to anyone!

Great environment for my child, awesome teachers and amazing support! Thank you to the Howe Sound Dance academy for boosting my daughters confidence with her dance skills!

My daughter has been attending Howe Sound Dance Academy since she was 3. The professionalism, mentorship and fun classes offered by the teachers have been consistent year after year. Excellent dance studio!

Watching my girls love for dance, and confidence grow since joining HSDA has been just magic!The mentorship from the teachers and student teachers is so supportive and inspiring. Miss Alicia and team are outstanding, and I am blown away by the quality and passion of their dancers.

This studio is an absolute gem in the community, and I highly recommend it to any parents or caregivers looking to introduce their little ones to the joys of dance. We enrolled my 5 year old in creative dance last fall. Miss Alicia and her and her team truly know how to make each child feel welcome and comfortable in their dance classes.

My daughter started creative dance with Alicia when she was almost 4 years old - this past year has been fantastic, and my girl has progressed from not wanting to go in at all, to dancing in the lobby, to finally going into the studio by herself for the whole class. Alicia is able to help her be expressive, learn how to move her body with thoughtfulness, and learn important social skills. We are so thankful, and excited to see how our daughter progresses with dance in her life!
