About Us

The Mission Dance Centre, created by Tanya Bakala in September, 2003, offers classes in Creative Dance, Ballet, Pointe, Character, Modern, Jazz, Flamenco and HipHop. The range of classes include recreational classes for children through adults and a full program of pre-professional classes.

The Mission Dance Centre’s mission is to provide a caring and nurturing environment where students have the opportunity to learn professional conduct, correct technique, quality and fluidity of movement and the use of music and rhythm. The discipline the students learn at the Centre will help them achieve their ultimate goals in their chosen profession.
