Welcome to the Can Dance Studio!

Can Dance is Mission’s number one studio for dance: for all ages, all levels, and all styles.

Can Dance Studio was established in 1989 to provide dance education to the community of Mission. It’s founder, Debbie Calicetto, realized the need for a dance studio that could offer a variety of dance classes and styles to its kids, teens, and adults.

Can Dance offers training to students of all ages and abilities – from the recreational to the competitive and semi-professional levels. Several of our graduates have gone on to represent Can Dance as professional dancers and instructors around the world.

We make sure to have top instructors, teaching the students the most innovative dance styles and cutting-edge techniques for today’s market. Certified as a Royal Academy of Dance and Acrobatic Arts school allows us to put students through certified exams, and even give credit to the student’s high school curriculum.

Can Dance Studio began with one studio, and one teacher. It has grown to become a recognized studio in the dance scene across Canada, with a team of more than 12 instructors, and two full studios, running close to seven days a week. This year, we are very excited to welcome Debbie’s daughter Regan as the studio’s new director, bringing 14 years of her own performance and professional training experience.

We are pleased to be serving the city of Mission for our 35th year. Hope to see you there!
