Dance Umbrella is a teacher run non-profit society specializing in dance classes for students of all ages in a variety of genres. We strive to provide a place of belonging for youth of all ages and abilities. The Dance Umbrella is a space for dancers to build confidence, create connections and feel safe to explore and express themselves.
Our Classes
Dance with me
Dance with me classes are for tiny dancers ages 1-5 and their enthusiastic grownups. We sing songs, dance with scarves, read stories and jump in imaginary puddles. These classes introduce the structure of a dance class with a focus on holding space for you and your tiny dancer to connect and play.

“My daughter has danced with Dance Umbrella for the past 14 years. Over the years, she wanted to add more classes and try different dance styles. My daughter now takes every class she can with Dance Umbrella, and persuaded her cousins to join too. The instructors are fun and skilled in their dance styles, as well as being mentors to my daughter in her career and pursuit of professional dance. There are extra opportunities to attend guest workshops and out of town events. Dance Umbrella offers more than just the classes and techniques, it offers a connection to the music, the art form, the other dancers and the community. We love Dance Umbrella. “
