Our Story
A warm welcome to White Swan Academy — where personal attention, professional instruction, and the love of the arts come together.
I warmly welcome you to White Swan Academy.
We were founded on three simple beliefs: that every dancer deserves personal attention, that they should learn from professional instructors, and that they should have real performing opportunities to share their growth with the world.
With nearly thirty years of teaching experience, our mission is to teach more than just dance steps — but also the rich history and artistry of the arts. Dance is, for so many, a healing outlet for artistic expression and an important community space for self-expression and well-being.
Whether your child is taking their very first plié or preparing for a pre-professional career, we are honoured to be part of their journey. We hope you’ll come and dream, create, and be inspired with us.
Studio Policies
Tuition & Payment +
Tuition is billed monthly, due on the 1st of each month. A late fee applies to payments not received within 10 days. A one-time, non-refundable registration fee of $75 per family is due at enrolment for each season.
Withdrawal & Commitment +
Families may withdraw before December 1st without penalty. After December 1st, students are committed to finishing the season through to the end, as costuming, casting, and recital planning are well underway by that time.
Dress Code +
Uniforms are required for all classes. A consistent dress code creates an atmosphere of belonging, focus, and self-discipline, and allows teachers to see and correct each dancer’s alignment.
Hair should be secured in a ballet bun for all ballet classes, and in a bun or braid for other styles. Specific uniform details for each class are listed on its class page.
Teacher's Assistant Scholarship +
We offer a limited Teacher’s Assistant Scholarship program. Older students can assist with our younger dancers in exchange for a tuition discount — a wonderful way to develop leadership, give back to the studio, and stay involved in the art they love. Speak with us to learn more.
