Our Purpose

Banff Dance Academy provides high-quality dance training to every student that enters our doors. The passion and care that our instructors put into each class allows our students to achieve their goals both in their dancing and life. Our highly qualified instructors focus on developing strong dance technique in a fun and energetic atmosphere, while passing on their passion for dance.

At BDA we aim to help each dancer develop their technique, challenge their minds, boost their confidence and teach vital life skills. At Banff Dance Academy, your child will not only gain dance technique and knowledge, but will also gain life skills and knowledge, growing as a person. Our dancers also learn to be part of a team, making important friendships along the way and find a place to call a second home.
