About Us
Welcome to Catalyst Dance Experience, a studio where we care a lot about dance and even more about the individuals that we get to teach.
Our team of experienced and certified educators are passionate about the evolution of our students as dancers and as humans. We aim to meet individuals where they are at and facilitate an environment of support and acceptance where dancers can feel seen. We encourage the development of self-discipline and determination to unlock potential they don’t even know they have!
We believe in nurturing growth in all facets, including technical, mental and artistic development. Our instructors live locally and many have grown up in Red Deer and area. They are excited to serve the Red Deer dance and performing arts community.
We believe wholeheartedly that a child’s dance education is more than the culmination of steps that leads to the stage. It assists in developing commitment to themselves and a team, their ability to adapt and demonstrate versatility, the development of a growth mindset, allowing lifelong learning, and self confidence that provides them a sure footing to step out into the world and achieve whatever they set their minds to.
Our standards are high for ourselves and our students and we know that with the right environment every individual can excel! Let us be the catalyst to ignite your dance potential.
