They are so unprofessional, they lost all the awards, ribbons and certificates my two daughters awarded at competitions, and didnt even bother explaining.:( My daughter named "Angelica" and got special award certificate in one comoetitions, now the Creative Edge says "maybe cleaning lady threw them out"???? Unbelievable!!They don't have any regards to the parents, nor students. During classes always so much chatting going on between teachers and the owner. My biggest mistake is registering my daughters to this very unprofessional dance school, after attending 3 years Burlington Dance Academy, very

My daughter has attended their summer camp for the last two years, she absolutely loved it and still remembers and does the dances she learned regularly. We were impressed by their protocols as well and felt safe attending.

My daughter has been dancing at Creative Edge Dance Studio since it first opened over 10 years ago. She loves this studio so much it is her second home and her favourite place to be. We never thought that a dance studio would have such a positive impact on our lives. We started out as most families do, looking for recreational dance classes for our kids but that soon changed into a genuine love for dance! Cait and her amazing staff of choreographers are passionate, dedicated professionals who have taught my daughter not just about dance but helped shape the confident, dedicated young woman

Creative Edge is not simply another dance studio. It's a second family. If you are looking for a studio that promotes a pretentious, "me first" approach among dancers and parents, please look elsewhere. If you are looking for a supportive environment for your child/teen where respect for others and self-confidence are built into the business plan, you can't go wrong with Creative Edge! Pretty much anyone can setup a studio and bring in highly qualified instructors, etc. It's the positive culture that sets Creative Edge apart from many of the others.

I've now danced here for 7 years and I have had no complaints. Moving into the competitive program 5 years ago was amazing! I was welcomed with open arms and met amazing groups of kids. I have learned and improved in 8 plus dance styles and have competed them as well. Teachers care about our health and how we can keep our body from getting injured as dancers are practically prone to injury. Dancers from creative edge have gone on to be recognized for work-ethic and overall abilities at conventions and competitions. I highly recommend considering to try and join the program! You will have NO regrets

Great teachers and vibe! Actually care about the students - not just winning. They do great at competitions - but people are more important. Studio is big, bright and airy. Great place for recreational or competitive dancers.
