Cameron Dance Academy

I started dancing at Cameron Dance Academy as a young adult student of 21, which was quite the challenge. Miss Cameron, the faculty and the students were incredibly welcoming - the studio quickly became my second home and everyone within it like a second family. The vision of Cameron Dance Academy provides a solid foundation upon which students can build their artistic and technical abilities, which will serve them throughout their training and into their careers. Dancers spend so much of their time training, it is imperative they can do it in a positive and supportive environment, which is precisely what Cameron Dance Academy provides for every student. I have had many opportunities to perform as an amateur and take my Vocational exams over the years as a result of my training, but most importantly, I just love to dance. The positive imprint the studio leaves will undoubtedly underpin the success of every student that walks through the doors.

Good, just had one bad experience with one of the teachers rude response when I was asking a question “not right now…”

I spent 14 years dancing at Cameron Academy. The studio was like my home and the staff was like family. I learned far more than just dance during my time there and I credit so much of who I became to the people who taught me. I am proud to give them my highest recommendations.

I did really like them until the pandemic hit and we requested our money back for recital in May, for June 2020, as we aren't returning.They said they weren't offering refunds as we are in the process of making the costumes and plan to go ahead some day. Well, my daughter has grown quite a bit since measurements in February/ March and I dont feel comfortable putting her back into dance.I have recently tried to email them again last week and no response, I know of some others who have done the same and are being ignored aswell. I believe we have rights to request our money back, during this time as the contract had nothing about pandemics in it

Amazing studio! The instructors are incredibly welcoming, and are very knowledgeable. You can tell they really love their jobs and are passionate about dance. Also a beautiful newly renovated studio that is a dancer's dream! Cannot recommend this studio enough!!!

Cameron Dance School is an establishment that strives to provide dance instruction with a focus on ballet. While it is important to approach this review with honesty, respect, and positivity, it is equally crucial to address the concerns raised by some individuals regarding the school's teaching methods and approach.It has been mentioned by some parents that Cameron Dance School may not adequately teach the fundamentals of ballet, potentially leaving students ill-prepared for exams or auditions. This lack of emphasis on proper technique and training can be disappointing for those seeking a more rigorous ballet education.Additionally, it has been observed that the level of instruction provided by Cameron Dance School may not meet the standards of other reputable studios. Feedback from auditions and assessments at renowned institutions, such as the National Ballet, suggests that the training offered may lean more towards recreational dance rather than the intense, disciplined instruction required for professional pursuits.Furthermore, concerns have been raised about the school's approach to finances. Some parents feel that Cameron Dance School prioritizes monetary gain over the quality of education and the welfare of its students. The pricing structure, particularly the significantly higher cost of private lessons compared to other studios, raises eyebrows and may be considered unreasonably inflated.It is disconcerting that Cameron Dance School appears to demonstrate a lack of empathy and genuine concern for its students. Reports of the school's refusal to offer refunds, coupled with a perceived narcissistic attitude, further deepen these concerns. Such an approach undermines the trust and confidence that parents and students place in the school.In conclusion, while Cameron Dance School may offer dance instruction, there have been concerns raised about the school's commitment to proper ballet training, their teaching methods, and their approach to finances. It is important for prospective students and parents to carefully consider these factors when making a decision about where to pursue their dance education.

I started dancing at Cameron Dance Academy probably back in 2008 & honestly was the best experience i had dancing at a studio. Before I came to Cameron Dance Academy, I had been in between a couple studios that I really did not thrive at. It was a hassle to find a good studio where the teachers were kind, respectful, & encouraging & a positive environment that not only i felt comfortable in but also loved & had the potential to grow in. After I made the switch here, I stayed dancing until i graduated. I completely most of my RAD examinations with them as well as competed in all sorts of competitions. I completely fell back in love with dance at this studio and it has not left me, even after 16 years of dancing. Their motto is “teaching the love of dance, that lasts a lifetime” & I can confidently say that they achieve their goal in this.

I danced at Cameron Academy for 13 years. I have so many beautiful memories and experiences. The teaching and community was truly wonderful. I was positively challenged and supported as I grew and developed as a dancer and am forever grateful for my time spent at the studio.

Cameron Dance Academy is where it all began for me! As a young child aspiring to become a ballerina I started training with Ms Cameron. I was taught not only the skills & techniques of ballet but the mindset, resilience, imagination, and professionalism one needs to possess in order to become a successful ballet dancer. I eventually went on to audition for the Royal Winnipeg Ballet School where I spent several years training before being hired by the company. I have danced professionally with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet company for the past ten years and got to enjoy rehearsing, performing, touring, as well as working with many other artists and choreographers around the world. Without my initial training at Cameron Dance Academy my dreams would have never come true. The support, education, and love I’ve received have been invaluable and absolutely incredible. Thank you, thank you, thank you! This will be the right place if you are looking to dance just for fun and light enjoyment, to prepare for dance competitions with your friends, or to train seriously to audition for ballet companies in the future. The whole Cameron Dance Academy team will be there for you to help achieve your dreams!
