ACADEMIES
APEX DANCE ACADEMY
The Apex Dance Academy is being developed to provide athletes with engaging, supportive, and professionally structured dance environments focused on movement, creativity, confidence, performance, and personal growth.
The academy aims to create spaces where athletes can
- Express themselves creatively,
- Develop technical foundations,
- Build confidence, and
- Experience the enjoyment of movement within positive and encouraging environments.
Programs are being designed to support both recreational participation and future performance opportunities while maintaining strong emphasis on athlete wellbeing, positive culture, and intentional coaching.
RECREATIONAL DANCE
When Apex opens, the Dance Academy will initially offer a broad range of recreational dance classes designed to support athletes across varying ages, interests, and experience levels.
Initial class offerings are expected to include:
- Ballet
- Tap & Jazz
- Hip-Hop
- Lyrical & Contemporary
The recreational dance pathway aims to cultivate environments where athletes can develop confidence, improve coordination and movement quality, build friendships, and explore artistic expression through positive coaching and supportive class culture.
Dance classes within the recreational program will remain engaging, developmentally appropriate, professionally coached, and welcoming for both new and experienced dancers alike.

The long-term vision is to create environments that support:
