Dance is not a competition, it’s a passion

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 it’s kids, teen and even adults.

Can Dance studio began with one studio, one teacher and has now gone onto becoming a recognized studio in the dance scene in Canada with more then 5 instructors and 2 full studios running close to seven days a week.

Can Dance offers students of all ages and ability levels from the recreational to the competition and semi-professional levels. Several dancers after training at Can Dance Studio have gone on to become professional dancers and instructors around the world.

We also make sure we have the top instructors to teach the students the most innovative and technical dance styles for today’s market. Certified at a Royal Academy of Dance school allows us to put students through their exams and even give credit to the student’s high school curriculum.

We are pleased to be serving the city of Mission for another great year. Hope to see you there.
