Founded in Vancouver, British Columbia in 2014 by performing artist Si Ting — our Principal and Artistic Director — Élan Dance Academy has provided structured, syllabus-based dance training across Greater Vancouver for over a decade, with campuses in Burnaby, West Vancouver, and Richmond.

We welcome students ages 3 to adult, from first-time beginners to pre-professional students. Our programs span Ballet, Chinese Dance, K-Pop, and Acro, alongside dedicated Adult classes.

Élan is an officially recognized examination centre for the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) and the Beijing Dance Academy Chinese Dance syllabus, offering internationally recognized graded examinations — and our students perform at community festivals and cultural celebrations across British Columbia.
