Services
Airdrie Dance Academy was founded in 1992 by Mrs. Susan Laing (Miss Susan). She started dancing at the age of 3. She had weak feet and the doctors told her parents she either needed "casts and built up shoes" or "dance" to strengthen her feet. Thankfully they chose dance. She started in Ballet. At the age of 18, Miss Susan opened her first dance studio in Erskine, Alberta.

Miss Susan-It is our privilege to have a dance instructor who loves our children like you do and gives them the opportunity to be who they are without being judged - so the thanks is for you, not us - you allow the inspiration to occur! (heart!) Thank you so much for all the work you have done with Arianna.

Susan is incredible with her dancers. She is personable and fun-loving yet also instills a sense of discipline and focus in her dancers. I love watching her interact with the group. A superb dance studio with directors who understand the dedication and drive necessary to help fullfill a youngster's dreams.

When my daughter started dancing at age four, we thought we'd made a mistake: she freaked out every time class started for the first six weeks. But, Miss Susan persevered, drew her out, and gave her the confidence to try. Four seasons later, we can't imagine dancing anywhere else. Both of our kids are now in classes at Airdrie Dance, and we love how much they love it without having to dedicate their lives to training. Smiles and fun, teamwork and relaxed, healthy competition - Susan Laing and her teachers are amazing.

Be careful with this school. My daughter was refused because I questioned the owner why they charge 4 X more for dance costume, when the more they buy, the cheaper it is. The owner said to parents that shipping is included but the shipping is for free from the company. This school only wants your money, no passion for dance.

Airdrie Dance Academy is the best dance school we have taken our daughter to. She has been dancing here for 7 years now and loves it! Our 3 year old keeps asking when he can start going to dance too. They provide fun, give ALL children the ability to compete (with the exception of the little guys) and perform live all without having 'extra' classes for those who are in competition. It is a great mix of learning, fun, and structure. The staff love the kids and go out of their way to make them all feel special. I highly recommend this studio to anyone who loves dance!
