Harbour Dance Centre is a dance studio that provides a comfortable space for people to learn numerous dance styles such as ballet, hip-hop, contemporary, tap, and many more.

Because their studio is frequently booked, this dance studio is open seven days a week to accommodate more customers. 

What we liked best about them is that they have large and flattering facilities, which make it easy for students to move around.

Furthermore, all of their rooms have mirrors, barres, CD players, iPod and laptop auxiliary cords, and even pianos. 

It’s also worth noting that one of their studios has a Black Box Theatre, which we think is ideal for rehearsals for small performances and filming.

Another thing we found impressive is their location is public-transit friendly, which we think makes their services more accessible. We also found it convenient that they have numerous paid parking lots nearby.

Having said that, we only wish they had shower rooms so dancers could freshen up after their sessions. It’s a good incentive that they have lockers that they rent out at reasonable rates on a monthly and annual basis.

Moreover, most of the customers we’ve spoken with highlight how open and welcoming their dance studio is as their dance teachers are friendly. 

If you’re looking to rent a dance studio in Vancouver, we think Harbour Dance Centre is a great choice.

Baza Dance is a Latin and dance fitness studio in downtown Vancouver that offers online and in-person dance classes. It’s especially impressive that they offer dance classes for people of all skill levels, from beginner to advanced.

What we liked best about Baza Dance is that they have appealing, spacious, and fully-equipped dance studios, which we believe makes dancers feel more at ease learning to dance.

Baza Dance has four dance studios, each with its own unique set of features and staff. 

We were particularly impressed by the fact that all of their facilities are outfitted with a mixer and high-end speakers. This, in our opinion, makes it more convenient for customers because they do not need to bring their own equipment.

What caught our attention is their Bottega dance studio as this space measures over 1,000 square feet of danceable space that we think is ideal for large dance rehearsals and company meetings. 

Despite their higher rates, we believe this is reasonable given that staffing costs are included in their fees.

Moreover, we found it convenient that they are located in a convenient location in downtown Vancouver, making them easily accessible by car and public transportation.

On a whole, we thought Baza Dance deserved a spot on our list because of their wide and well-equipped dance studios.

Customer Reviews

The Dance Centre, which opened in 2001, was designed by Architectura and Canadian architect Arthur Erickson. 

We immediately noticed how spacious their dance studios were as their building was built as a shared-use facility to provide diverse spaces for various types of dance.

It’s a nice touch that their studios can be rented for rehearsals, classes, workshops, performances, and various other special events, which allows them to accommodate a large customer base.

Now, we would like to mention that they have relatively higher rates. However, we think this is fair given that their dance studios are well-equipped to make their spaces comfortable and well-lit.

Some of these features include air conditioning, sprung floors, sound systems, and so many more. 

They also have a Faris Family Studio that we think is a great choice for those who need to practice big productions such as musical theatre, large dance rehearsals, and music performances.

If you intend to use their studios frequently, it’s best to become a member to gain access to a variety of benefits such as 15% off studio rental rates, free board room use, and partnership opportunities.

All in all, we believe that The Dance Centre is one of the best dance studios in Vancouver for small, medium, to large dance rehearsals.

Customer Reviews

BC Dance is a Vancouver dance studio that strives to provide a welcoming and professional dance environment.

This dance and fitness studio specializes in a wide variety of dance classes such as Salsa, Bachata, Zumba, and many more dance lessons from beginner to advanced levels. 

This dance studio has been in business for over 30 years, which we believe demonstrates its consistency and expertise. We also appreciated the fact that they have a large team of dance mentors to accommodate multiple students at the same time.

We were particularly impressed by how easily accessible their location is, as it’s only a few blocks away from the Canada Line in Yaletown Station, as well as a variety of restaurants.

Unfortunately, we were a bit disappointed that they have relatively few dance equipment so customers may have to bring their own dance mats, speakers, and aux cords.

Additionally, we wished they had more dance studios that were available for rent so they could serve a large number of clients.

Furthermore, many of the customers we’ve spoken with rave about their dance teachers and how they personalize their services based on their skill levels.

BC Dance is without a doubt one of the best dance studios in Vancouver, offering dance classes for almost every type of dance.

Customer Reviews

Aside from dance rehearsals, you can also rent out their space for birthdays, bachelorette parties, and other private events.

We also found it convenient that they have dedicated washrooms and changing rooms on-site so clients can freshen up after their dance classes.

Another thing that drew our attention was the abundance of paid parking spaces near their dance studio. They’re also reachable by public transportation.

Furthermore, the majority of the clients we interviewed commented on how lovely, clean, and tidy their dance studio is, complete with large mirrors.

Overall, if you’re looking to rent a dance studio in Vancouver that provides dance classes for all skill levels and well-lit rehearsal spaces, we think you should consider iDance.

Besides their classes, their studios can also be rented. Their large 1800 sqft studio and small 800 sqft studio both includes Filter water, AC, Speaker, TV, and RGB lighting.

The instructors here are also amazing! They’re not only talented but also very patient and diligent when it comes to guiding and teaching their students.

Made Talents is a dance studio and we are impressed on how considerate they are in offering a variety of dance classes in different expertise and genres. 

Moreover, the credentials and the expertise of their dance teachers are remarkable. They even provide a background of each of their staff members to showcase just how many years they’ve been active in the dance industry.

Also, we like how inclusive their studios are for all genders, race, shapes, and sizes.

However, their opening hours are irregular and might cause confusion. 

Still, their fun and light and professional teaching environment makes it a recommendable place to sharpen anyone’s dancing skills.

Customer Reviews

“Made Talents has made me feel like ME again! This dance studio is beyond inclusive for all dancers and helps lay a good foundation of skills for everyone’s dance potential. All the teachers know how to be adaptive for the dancer’s  needs and do not shame anyone’s body types or levels. After not dancing for 12 years I can proudly say I now dance 2 a week (3 hours) and have participated in their adult progressive 10 week program (which was amazing). Made Talents truly makes everyone come out of their shells and makes confidence radiate off its dancers. Not one person walks out of the studio without a smile or high five. Thank you for everything you do, Made Talents.” -Laura Pettes
