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