Dance Program
OSA Private School has partnered with Capital City Dance® to bring an elite level of daily dance instruction to students who wish to pursue Dance alongside their academic endeavours.
With 15 years of training Ottawa area students of all levels and experience, we have the expertise and coaching that bring dancers to their top potential. Students in the program can work to compete at a higher level on a specific team, develop more skills for a post-secondary audition/program, or branch out into the professional field. With a coaching team that understands the dance world and is constantly evolving our teaching methods, students will have the best available training.
Training
The core belief is that a versatile dancer is the best version of themselves. This creates multitalented dancers and athletes who can excel in many genres. Our training program will incorporate dance genres weekly, including Ballet, Contemporary, Jazz, and Hip-hop. Specialized mini-camps in other styles will offered throughout the year in genres such as Tap, Latin, Improvisation, and more. Guest faculty will be brought in for specific teaching in their genre of expertise. We will work individually to address any areas of concern and target particular areas of dancer development that are most important. Technique, flexibility, musicality, and performance will all be development and training areas.
Development
We will track each participant’s development as they train with us and ensure that training produces positive results. Every eight weeks, coaches will meet to discuss each student’s progress and share any information with our students/families.
Exposure / Education / Professional
As former dancers in the professional world, our team of coaches will help guide our students in the direction they would like to pursue. If a college or university program is of interest, we will help with any audition prep or reference letters. If exposure to the professional world is needed, our coaches will provide one-on-one meetings to help navigate the steps required for a successful transition. We will support opening as many doors as possible for each student so they can continue
to dance at the level they want.

How we Move a Community
Person 4
My daughter’s growth as a dancer over the past 6 years has been Amazing thanks to CCD’s Excellent Dance Training and Educators and we are very thankful for that, but the skills and strengths she’s gained because the directors and dance educators supported her, listened to her, valued her and pushed her when she needed it are what I am most grateful for.
Person 3
Capital City Dance isn’t really a dance studio in a building at Westgate or in Kanata, it’s a Culture that the studio owners Mike and Gabe have created that gives kids a safe environment to be themselves, to feel safe to grow and build relationships , to express themselves and to Thrive, truly a family.
Person 2
My daughter has been dancing with CCD for 5 years and her progression has been amazing. She started in recreational and ballet, then part time competitive and is now in the full time competitive team. The owners and teachers are great! They continuously improve the way they teach technique and performance, but they also take the time to work on each student’s confidence, personal growth and wellbeing. As parents we are also very well supported, informed and an integral part of the team
