My daughter always wanted to get serious about ballet and this school is a perfect fit. Her last school would learn one 3 minute routine for the whole year. In this school, they learn technique, posture, poise, even history in addition to a routine, plus there's extra curricular training for the Nutcracker each Christmas. It has challenged her to achieve a higher level, and she loves it.

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.

From the very beginning, everyone has been welcoming, supportive, and incredibly helpful. Mrs. Debbie, the owner, recently took time out of her busy schedule right before classes started to help my daughter get fitted for new ballet shoes. That level of personal attention and care says so much about the studio and the people who run it. My daughter loves her classes so much that she actually begged me to enroll her in an additional class! She looks forward to dance every week and has loved all of her teachers. Special shoutout to Miss Olivia, who has been wonderful and has helped make dance such a positive experience for her. We just finished another recital season, and every year I am blown away by the enthusiasm, dedication, and passion of the instructors. Watching the recital, it's easy to see how much work goes into preparing the dancers while still making the experience fun and encouraging. And honestly, anyone who has ever tried to teach a group of 4- and 5-year-olds anything can appreciate how impressive it is to see those young dancers smiling, having fun, and confidently performing on stage! What I appreciate most is that this studio has grown with my daughter. From her early classes as a little one to the dancer she is becoming today, she has always felt encouraged, supported, and excited to come back each week. We are so grateful to be part of this dance family and highly recommend this studio to anyone looking for a positive, nurturing environment for their child.

In a world that all too happily objectifies women, it is refreshing to find a studio that allows my girls to be just that: girls, not sexy, inappropriate mini women.

The owners make a real effort to create a community and send out a newsletter to keep you updated. All of the young women teaching my girls have been positive and great role models. It is absolutely worth the extra drive for me to come to Reflections. The quote in the pic is what finally motivated today to write a review.

So this small studio was all that was available in this small town. We gave it 3 years and overall, it just a slow progress and even my older daughter deteriorated in this setting. My kids dance teacher prior to moving here was a ballerina from New York and looked and acted like a ballerina. I really think my kids learned more from You Tube dance videos. Fildalgo dance spends so much time on their Nutcracker production that you feel your child is very little in the whole process. It just getting ready for a particular part. I am not sure if the high school ballet students really started there or came from a better school and had their skills already. But if you have younger kids, you spend hours at recital and only see your child maybe a minute on the stage, but see the high schoolers over and over. Should your teen decide she or he wants to try tap or something else, you are out of luck. Myson who was 13 watched all these recitals and thought he would like to try tap dance, and they could not help at all. I have decided its worth the drive to go elsewhere and hope my kids get more out of a more professional and larger studio.

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
