Ballet & Modern Dance Classes at Mi-Cher Dance Academy
Mi-Cher Dance Academy offers ballet & modern dance classes in South Surrey. We began as a ballet school, and believe a strong foundation in ballet is imperative. Our modern program supplement the dancers ballet training and provides variety and alternative movements to expand their dance experience. We look forward to growing our modern program this fall.
We offer exams with both the Royal Academy of Dance (Ballet) and the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance (Ballet and Modern).

Mi-Cher Minis | Pre-School ages 3 & 4
Does you little one like to play pretend or dance around the house? Our tiniest dancers get to have their first ballet classes filled with fun stories and games that will begin to teach the basics of ballet.
Parents are welcome to join in for those little ones who are unsure on their own.
Mi-Cher Minis ballet classes run from September to June on Wednesday & Saturday. These tiny dancers are included in our year end production. The smallest dancers on stage are always a crowd favourite!

Modern Classes
Modern Dance Program – 6 years and up
We believe that a strong ballet technique enhances all other forms of dance – therefore, all students wishing to register for the modern dance program must be taking their minimum number of ballet classes before being allowed to register for modern.
Students must be 6 years old by December to register. Our modern dance Program is VERY popular and registration is on a first come, first served policy.
The modern program follows the ISTD syllabus and is taught by Karrie Hill. All students enrolled in Mi-Cher’s modern program are included in the year end production.
