Welcome Back!

 

Vanleena’s mission is:

To seek out talent in Dance, Release it, Nurture it, Celebrate it

 
The world of dance has much to offer dancers of every age and ability - be it a year end recital, a local festival or a visit at the seniors centre - gives children poise and confidence. The progression of dance, through learning new skills and perfecting familiar ones, teaches patience and perseverance. The camaraderie and friendship that come from creating a dance, the rehearsing it and perfecting it, teaches teamwork and cooperation. The lessons learnt in the dance studio are life lessons.

Now entering its 34th season, Vanleena Dance Academy is the largest dance school on the North Shore. The level of training is aimed at students that are serious about learning dance in a fun, family atmosphere. Vanleena students can choose from over 200 classes per week - giving students and parents a wide selection of classes to choose from based on dance style, age and level of ability.

But classes are not the whole story. Vanleena is best known for its school spirit by offering numerous opportunities to perform during the year. These are rewarding dance experiences that offer young dancers the freedom to express themselves, the skill to perform it beautifully and the confidence to use those skills before a cheerful audience. This is what makes Vanleena a school of distinction.

Join us as we get set to launch another exciting year of dance!
