Welcome to Thrive Dance SK!
Where dance becomes belonging.
Classes are available for everyone.
Thrive Dance SK may be a new name in Saskatoon, but our roots go back to 2003. We offer a wide range of recreational and competitive dance classes for all ages, from 1.5 years old to adults, and for all skill levels, from beginners to seasoned dancers. Our doors are always open to those eager to explore the art of dance and pursue their passion in a supportive and inspiring environment.
In our dance programs, dancers have the opportunity to compete with performances choreographed by our dedicated Dance Instructors. Each teacher pours their heart and soul into both their choreography and every weekly class. At the end of the year, our dance school hosts a final recital, where family and friends are invited to celebrate the dancers' hard work and talent.
Our Mission
Thrive Dance SK is committed to helping individuals become the best versions of themselves through the discipline of dance. We aim to foster an empowering environment for our dancers, one that not only positively impacts our community but also extends its influence to the world.
Our Core Values
At Thrive Dance SK, we deeply value community, encouragement, and respect, and we hope that every dancer feels like a cherished member of the Thrive family. We believe in the many benefits of dance and take great joy in watching our dancers pour their hearts into each performance. It’s inspiring to witness the growth of confidence, coordination, memory, musicality, and athleticism in our dancers, month after month, year after year.
