WELCOME TO THE 2026 RECREATIONAL PROGRAM
We’re so grateful to have your family with us for the year ahead, and we’re excited to guide your child through a year filled with growth, creativity, confidence-building and connection.
Our Recreational Program isn’t just about learning routines - it’s about giving kids a space to move, express themselves, build friendships, and discover what they’re capable of in a supportive, low-pressure environment. We care deeply about nurturing your child’s mind, body and spirit while helping them develop solid dance foundations at their own pace.
At The Base, we believe joy, wellbeing and skill-building should always go hand in hand.
Our teaching is warm, encouraging and intentional. We focus on clarity, consistency and positive reinforcement so students feel safe, supported and proud of their progress each week.
Your child will build coordination, confidence, musicality and teamwork, while learning how to take feedback, try new things and feel comfortable challenging themselves - all while having fun.
Our Recreational Program gives kids the chance to grow their skills, connect with others, explore their creativity, and shine onstage at the end of the year. Whether they’re stepping into the studio for the first time or continuing their dance journey, our goal is to ensure they feel valued, inspired and excited to come to class.

VISION & PHILOSOPHY
At The Base Performing Arts, our Recreational Program is designed to give children a positive, welcoming space to dance, move and express themselves - without the pressure of competition. It’s where fun, fitness and friendship come together in a way that keeps kids inspired and confident.
We believe that when children feel supported and included, they enjoy learning more, try new skills with confidence and develop a healthy relationship with movement. Our teachers create an environment that is encouraging, structured and warm, helping dancers build solid technique while still keeping the joy at the centre.
In our Recreational Program, the real growth happens in the moments of courage, connection and consistency - showing up each week, developing body awareness, making friends, and discovering what they’re capable of.
Above all, our vision is to offer a dance experience that strengthens the whole child: their confidence, their wellbeing, and their love of moving their body. A place where they feel motivated, supported and excited to walk through the doors each week.
