About Us
Welcome to Cranbrook and Kimberley’s newest dance studio, Kootenay DanceXtreme! We are dedicated to giving your child a dance education at an elite, professional level which will allow them to grow and learn in a healthy, safe, and positive environment. Each dance class is designed to provide both creative and progressive training which will enhance each student’s personal growth, self-confidence, dedication, discipline, time management, and focus. We not only teach children the art of dance, but more importantly we give them life skills to succeed in the next chapter of their lives. Our highly qualified staff are trained to encourage and motivate every student to excel by giving their best effort. At Kootenay DanceXtreme, we have both recreational and competitive dance programs, offering classes from ages 3 to adult. We offer dance classes in the styles of Jazz, Lyrical, Hip Hop, Acro, Ballet and now offering new classes and styles such as Tip Toe Combo, Fun Flow Combo, and Hip Hop X Acro.
