Though this school is popular and has many students, all students and families are known by the…read moreteachers and are part of a (very large) family. This school is good for beginners and senior dancers. My daughter came to this school as a teenager after we moved. She has improved greatly and would not be as good as she is now without the help of her teachers. Highly recommended.

From the owner: Tri-City Dance Centre was established in 1999 with a vision of providing dance excellence in a…read moresafe, family-orientated environment. We strive to provide the highest level of training while keeping classes fast-paced and enjoyable. All of the teachers are highly educated in their respective dance disciplines, with most holding diplomas and/or certification from a dance teaching organization, such as the Royal Academy of Dance, the Association of International Dance Teachers and the Canadian Dance Teachers Association. We strive to help each dancer become the best he/she can be as a dancer and as a person. We believe that everyone should be treated equally regardless of age or ability. Making a difference in each dancer's life is very important to us! Our goal is to make Dance an enjoyable experience while focusing on a high level of technique. The children come first at Tri-City, and we work very hard to make sure each child's individual needs are met through support, encouragement, and inspiration. Our aim is to not only train dancers, but create better people who have confidence, poise, and a love of the Arts.

What a terrific theater venue!…read more My friend and I recently attended a show here and I was so impressed. I loved how there were tons of free parking spots available on the street. How refreshing, not being gauged in a parking lot by a theater, eh? Then there was the theater itself. It's large and clean, with lovely artwork on the walls in the spacious lobby. Plenty of large, clean bathrooms with lots of stalls. Multiple access doors to the actual theater room with over 600 seats, and the seats themselves are quite comfortable. Great view of the stage from all angles, and terrific lighting and acoustics, too. Staff working the night I visited here were fabulous, too: from the guy working the "will call" counter to the ladies taking our tickets at the entrance to the folks at the theater door thresholds who directed us to our sections - everyone was friendly and helpful. We liked that there was a good selection of foods and drinks for sale, too (even a craft brewery stand, selling it's wares! I should note we were at a show with an age requirement 19+. I'm not sure if alcoholic beverages are always available here). I heartily recommend this theater, if you have an opportunity to see a show here, do it!

A friend invited me to the North Shore Celtic Ensemble at Centennial Theatre and they were amazing…read more Definitelyooking forward to seeing them perform again. Now, as for the theatre, it was nice but there wasn't any concessions open pre show to even get a bottle of water. It was so cramped in there and I had to put up with the back of the seats being kicked throughout the entire performance. Add to that a young kid had a meltdown right behind me and the adults were laughing. It completely interrupted the concert. Maybe it's covid restrictions or maybe the crowd but it wasn't a wonderful experience.

Caulfield School of Dance is a wonderful school filled with passionate, professional and qualified…read moreteachers. I would highly recommend anyone looking for an established studio that provides high-quality dance education to join. I became a student at CSD when I was a teenager and the previous studio I danced at closed down. Cori and her teachers were phenomenal at integrating my sister and I into the school (to the point where CSD became our second home). I improved as a dancer because of CSD's intelligent programming and caring faculty. The opportunities I had at CSD created beautiful memories for my family and I to look back on, I also made life-long friendships with my dance peers who I share many of those memories with.

The main issue with Caulfield School of Dance is the fact that the Director and her staff are not…read moreconcerned about the improvement of the dancers. This is the paramount issue as their "Professional Training Division" is nothing similar to other youth companies in the tri-cities, as everyone makes it in to the PTD if their parents go in and threaten to leave. If you're looking for reliable training from qualified teachers, and choreography to push your child, I would not recommend investing in Caulfield's hefty prices. Now, on a more positive note, if you're looking for a studio to send your child once a week, with little commitment...Caulfield is an okay place. However, the recreational teachers are not very committed to teaching dance; most have recently graduated and deal with the recreational kids as a 'first time' learning experience. I'm not exactly sure of the dollar figure that Caulfield charges as it has been some time since I have been affiliated with their fees but I believe it is somewhere in the range of $1000-$2000 a year for a recreational dancer. With the half baked instruction from lacklustre teachers, the money simply isn't worth it. I really do try to find some positive because reading yelp reviews can be very dark sometimes. Caulfield is a great place to learn to perform, as they offer many performance opportunities with their 5 year end shows. A weekend of fun for the most part. However, in preparation for the year-end shows, there is numerous extra-rehearsals, the ludicrous "Photo-Day" and numerous extra expenses that come at you from no where, with little to no explanation as to why you must pay these expenses. Again, a common theme of hefty prices with little to no substance prevails. I would also like to say "Sommer T" who gave Caulfield School of Dance a 5 star rating on this exact site is an ex-teacher at Caulfield who to my understanding has maintained a very good relationship with the owner Cori. I have trouble removing bias from that whole review as it is written by a friend of Cori's. I don't mean to be cruel, but in conclusion I would never recommend sending a child to this dance school. It's beyond disorganized, very expensive, and overall the teaching is just 'meh.' There are many other studios in the tri-city area that will provide your child with both a better administration, and a better faculty. **For reference, other tri-city dance schools are Pulse Dance Centre, Tri-City Dance Centre, Simply Ballet, Port Moody School of Dance, Vela Academy of Movement, Dance Force, Coastal Edge Dance Center, Encore Dance Poco, K & S Dance
