Pro Dance

Ciprian has a talent for teaching in ballet. He has the ability to draw out the most potential in each student. He is one of the few teachers that actually teaches! He has immense attention to detail and an eye on every student. You can tell he has tremendous love for the art form. Come to this studio if you want to learn proper technique and how to do things right!

Pro Dance is such a welcoming and emotionally uplifting environment, it is a pleasure going to class every day. Especially when you have Mr. Ciprian, a helpful, intelligent, creative choreographer and mentor that I have had the privilege to work with for the last 5 years. I can proudly say I have exceeded my expectations on the growth of my technique and skills in dance all with his helpful advice, corrections and gratitude for the love of the art.

When I came to Pro Dance, everybody was so kind to me. Mr. Ciprian has taught his students to not only be amazing incredible dancers but also to be friendly and polite. He has the best humour but he is also strict with dancing. In the best way possible. I have had the most amazing experience dancing with Mr. Cirprian. Pro Dance is most definitely the best dance studio I have ever been at. Mr. Ciprian is funny, sweet, outgoing, intelligent, talented and an excellent dancer. Thank you so much for teaching me everything I know.

My 7 year old daughter recently started taking ballet lessons at ProDance. The studio is centrally located on Marine drive and 15th and has parking. The studio is spacious, clean, bright and has a welcoming atmosphere. The teacher Ciprian is an exceptionally talented teacher who teaches beautiful ballet. He is funny, kind and believes in his students abilities. My daughter absolutely loves the lessons. I’m so happy to find the best teacher for my daughter.

His passion for ballet is inspiring, and we trust his expertise in correct, safe training. A true perfectionist!My daughter loves his humour, and always looks forward to his classes!Thank you Ciprian!M Cabel

Oh my goodness, where do I begin? I came across Cirprian’s studio by chance and I can’t believe how lucky I am to have found a place as his student at ProDance. I’ve taken some adult ballet classes here and there over the years but have learned way more in my short year with Ciprian than all the previous years combined.First of all, his successful career as a professional dancer for decades is in itself a testament to his talent and expertise.Next I would say is his profound depth of knowledge. While he teaches us great technique, we are also learning so much more than that. Ciprian always has something to teach us (he certainly knows his stuff!) From the history of dance, to the roots of the language, from music and composers to anatomy, he weaves all these elements together beautifully into a tapestry that becomes a fun and informative class. We aren’t robots at the barre, mechanically doing plies. He pulls the artistry out of the tiniest finger tip to remind us we aren’t just “going through the motions” we are dancing each and every step of the way!Last but certainly not least is the community that he has created. During some of the toughest times, Ciprian has managed to maintain connection and community when it lacked on a global scale. He brings unwavering passion and dedication to his students and the art of dance. There have been many days I’ve been tired and down after work and life…. But after my classes with Ciprian and many good laughs throughout, I always walk out feeling happier and lighter.Whether you want to go the professional track, or you’re an adult that has always dreamed of trying ballet but didn’t think you could, or maybe you just love to do ballet in your spare time… Ciprian brings out the best in dancers no matter where you’re coming from. I don’t hesitate for a second in recommending Pro Dance!

I cannot say enough about Mr Ciprian's talent! He is in my eyes the absolute best. His strength lies in his complete dedication to the craft - he is relentless in always studying to elevate the craft on every level. The proof is in the pudding! You will see the difference in your child (or your own) performance - the emotion, the aesthetic, the heart of ballet displayed on stage. Whether recreational or competitive, he will bring out the best in any dancer.

Ciprian is a gifted, passionate and kind ballet instructor. We appreciate his professionalism and at the same time his genuine and caring personality.Here’s our daughter’s comment about him: “Ciprian wasn’t just a dance coach, he was a mentor to me. He was able to encourage while providing good honest feedback and criticism. He would always make sure to give me feedback and correct me, but at the same time, he would always make it evident that he believed I could do it and ensure that he was willing to help me all the way through.Ciprian genuinely cared for his students, and he was willing to do all it took to help a student become the best they could if they were willing.”

What a fantastic dance studio with really dedicated and inspiring teachers, led by Mr. Ciprian Stanulescu.My daughter and I have enjoyed lessons with Mr. Ciprian at Pro Dance for 3 years.Mr. Ciprian is both an accomplished and talented dancer in his own right and he translates that talent into his teaching which is both focused, with an attention to details but also immensely enjoyable. He works his students hard and always wants them to succeed. He provides a very high level of teaching with the Vaganova method. The studio is bright, spacious with a great quality dance floor.I would strongly recommended Pro Dance for all levels of dance enthusiasts, whether you are looking for some serious training, brush up on your technique or you just love to dance and want to have some fun and enjoy dance. Pro Dance can offer you any of these options and Mr. Ciprian will work with you to make sure that you achieve your goals.Bring your children in and try it out. You won’t regret it – indeed you’ll want to come along and join an adult class!

The professionalism of Pro Dance and Director Mentor Ciprian is unparalleled! In the beautiful West Vancouver, and even in the entire Greater Vancouver area of ​​dance teaching, it is one of the best!In the more than two years of Vaganova's basic ballet teaching, Ciprian used his superb and charming teaching methods to make my child lay a solid ballet foundation in childhood. In the process of basic skills training, full of energy and interest, every child's face is filled with a happy and confident smile. This is rare in solid and boring basic teaching! Master level tutors are always exceptional and unique in their teaching methods.The art form of body language has its own specialties, especially in the early exercise of children, safety is very important, and even related to an artist's life. Ciprian did a great job at this! His professionalism and foresight have determined that my child will not suffer any accidental physical injury from dance movements while accumulating the basic skills of ballet body. He takes into account the comfort and flexibility of stretching and leg pressing while taking into account the safety. From my perspective as a parent, professional teachers will know how to study professionally, in this regard, Ciprian's decades of experience in global art performances, and his students' brilliant performance on the European and world stages , and every detail of his daily teaching is always revealed. He was able to seamlessly connect Vaganova's classroom teaching with the beauty of ballet itself, which is extremely precious in the entire Greater Vancouver area.The annual report performance of Pro Dance is coming soon, and every child will fully show himself and fly on the stage! We will always work with Ciprian to let children perceive and integrate into the world with the beauty of their own bodies.
