Exams typically take place in March and are designed to assess each student in terms of technique and presentation.

Students will be introduced to various types of hip hop dance and movement and will participate in a year end performance in June.

The group is designed to give the dancers additional performance opportunities while exposing them to a variety of dance styles, and give them a chance to work with professional choreographers from the area.Admittance to the Maritime Dance Elite is by audition only. Students can audition for the Junior and Intermediate Elite groups when they reach ITP level 3, and Senior Elite when they reach level 6.

They have taught my daughter to push herself and to do more outside of her Comfort zone. She is very flexible and has a gymnastics background and they helped her to open up and show her full potential.

A dance company should focus on *dance*. Not the profits they accumulate. If you want to learn the beautiful art form of dance, please consider a studio who wish for the best for their dancers.

I wish it was possible to rate lower than one star. The company values fortune rather than it's dancers well-being. It has confused an art form with riches.

I feel like it was more of a daycare then actually teaching me things. I was in theatre and I didn't have enough direction, the kids in my class didn't either. It was basically overpriced daycare. I wouldn't recommend if your kid is ACTUALLY interested in drama/theatre.

My family and I had a similar experience. The staff was rude and non responsive, my daughter felt excluded and cried. The bedford location to be exact seems to cater to those they are familiar with. Which is fine but try to market your services to that sect you want to attract, instead of taking money from families and leaving the kids experiences marred. The camp was sold to my daughter as a platform to enhance and develop her existing skills but all it did was cause us to rebuild her confidence.
Thanks Maritime Dance you rock.
