My daughter just started ballet here and we’ve had an amazing experience so far. From the super courteous staff, to the clean and spacious studio and the incredibly professional and nurturing instructors, we definitely made the right decision in picking this dance studio.

Nate B

Talked on the phone with a gentlemen by the name of Ryan. Super easy going and answered all my questions. Was a little nervous at first because wasnt sure if my 7 year old daughter was going to be interested. Ryan never pushed us which I really appreciated. All the studios have windows where you can watch your kids. Super clean and teachers know what they are doing. Cameras for all the studios as well. Havent registered and only did a trial class. Definately will be going back! Also! Studio is at the back of the parking lot! Not the front!

Sandro Serino

Amazing staff! Best studio in T.O.

Paulina Gojski

Our daughter just recently started dancing with PDA and raves about it every week she comes home from class! She absolutely loves it! We are happy with all aspects of the studio - the teachers, the staff, and the environment -- as long as she loves dancing we will be attending PDA.

Josephine Di Cosmo

This studio is perfect for any child! From the variety of dance classes and programs to the warm and positive environment that is created, speaks volumes to all their clients and staff members. PDA has been around for many years, which goes to show how successful and incredible their programs truly are. The Toronto location is a direct extension of the original location and maintains what Performing Dance Arts is all about. This truly is an incredible family to be apart of! Not to mention the facility is brand new, spotless, and allows the parents to watch their child through the window or on their lobby monitors constantly! Highly recommend!

We love performing dance arts etobicoke studio ! All the girls are super nice and my daughter loves going there ! It’s nice that her dance teachers know her name even after her first lesson and always address her directly, I’ve heard many other studios dont even know the kids names. My toddlers first dance experience at PDA has been great and we’re looking forward to continuing her dance lessons there.

Lori-Ann Smith

This is our 3rd year at PDA and my daughter loves it! The staff is friendly, the facilities are clean and the atmosphere is very conducive to learning

Nadia Farooki

We switched our daughter to PDA after visiting the new location in Etobicoke. Bright, clean, lots of space in the changing room and in the waiting area. I love being able to stand behind the huge windows and watch my daughter dance. And the big TV screens also allow me to watch if I chose to sit in the waiting area. Super friendly staff. My daughter LOVES going to dance class. She learns so much each week. She likes the combo classes. Last year she took the 90 min class in ballet-jazz-acro and this year the 60 min class in ballet-jazz. Oh and I can't rave enough about the end of year performance at the Living Arts!!! The costumes, the preparation, the attention to the students, the location. So very well done! And non stressful! I also like how up to date we are kept as parents with lots of regular emails detailing what is expected, reminders, registration all done online, all bills sent electronically... so efficient! Thank you PDA for making dance class exciting for both my daughter and myself!

Fantastic dance studio. Have belonged to others in the past, however, they do not compare to PDA. Great instructors! Kids really enjoy going to dance class. Drive in every Saturday morning from Mississauga. Great work Vanessa, Ryan and Ashley. Keep it up!

Mira Jelic

We have had a wonderful experience at PDA. We are new to the dance world with our daughter, but we are incredibly impressed with how organized the studio is and how much our daughter loves her class! The facility is excellent (new, clean, spacious), and when I compare notes with other parents, I am glad we chose this studio over the others! The location is super convenient too with lots of parking.

Lola Zegers

What an amazing studio! Such professional and friendly staff. So glad we made the switch!!

Sarah (Sarah Costa)

So far my daughter is loving her experience at PDA and that is what really matters.

Justine Buss

My daughter loves her combo ballet/acro class and was obsessed with the Disney Dance camp this past summer. PDA makes signing up for things and paying bills really easy with their app and online system. Communication is always clear and friendly. They've handled COVID safety measures like champs. Highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing dance studio! I have researched dance studios for a very long time before signing my daughter up at PDA.

THE ONLY place I would recommend to any parent that wants their child to have a everlasting positive dance experience!!!

Rachelle Holmes

Ana De Luca

PDA is a wonderful studio providing excellent quality instruction in a fun environment for my preschooler. We’re very happy with our choice.

Dee DeeDee

Recently changed my daughter to this studio and have been very pleased and impressed. The teachers are engaging and the staff are great. Little things like asking dancers if there rides were here show that they care above and beyond.

Nikki Sturino

This is my first time putting our daughter in dance. PDA has been incredible since day 1. Very patient and always very helpful. Our daughter loves going :)!!!

Erika Hidalgo

One of the best places to enroll your child into dance. I have my daughter in ballet at this place and I'm so happy I chose PDA. Nice staff friendly parents. I very much highly recommend this place

T Y

Not worth the money. Class sizes are too big, no individual attention for my child at all. The shoes and bodysuits are more expensive than in store, and they didn't even know my child's name after a full year there. They give out free passes weekly, making class size even bigger. My child was sick two weeks in a row and missed class, they didn't even notice or say welcome her back. I would not recommend. What a waste of money and time.

Andrew Spiro

Positive and fun environment for kids. Great school of dance. Owners and teaching staff are friendly and very responsive. Communication with parents is excellent. I would highly recommend PDA. Also, they have two locations - Vaughan and Etobicoke. Very grateful for the new Etobicoke location. I would highly recommend this school.

Melissa Cable

Anazing studio, instruction and staff!

Cristina Dalimonte

Friendly staff and great environment. My daughter loves her Saturday class!

Paula Pergantis

This is our first year with PDA and its part-time competitive program. We absolutely love our experience so far! We are so happy to have made the change.

Sylvia Stiglic

We just started here in the fall and so far so good! Clean premises, polite and experienced instructors and nice owners. The owners go out of their way to keep kids happy, get involved with community and hire good teachers. They blow the competition out of the water with their family run business because they are invested in making a success with their business and that is only possible when the client is happy. Give them a try.

Sweet Stuff

No one on one attention unless you're in the more expensive competitive program. Very disappointed. As was my child

Sofia

Best studio in The world! So Happy to be part of the pda family.

Barbra Davidson

Horrible

Chantal Craft

My daughter is in the semi competitive dance program and loves it! She has learnt so much already. We are very happy with the PDA!

Cathy Boscarino

So happy with the new PDA in Etobicoke! The place is very-very clean and comfortable! The staff are super nice; we absolutely love Vanessa! We look forward to being with PDA for many years!

Nico D'Alessandro

Teachers are awesome. Great place . My daughter is so excited to be part of the studio.

Joan Conway

We are new to this studio but so far has been a great experience. First off my daughter loves the class and her instructor. All of the staff has been professional and courteous. Easy online registration and transparency with costs. My son has development issues and must join us, there is a tone of space for him to run around, it is accessible and all on one floor, and I can still enjoy watching my daughter dance through the beautiful one sided windows while not worrying about my son. Great job guys!

Jennifer de Faria

I’m so happy that I made the choice to go with PDA. My daughter loves it !! The staff is super nice and always so helpful. The staff there make it such a safe environment for all kids, I never feel uneasy leaving my child their. You feel the level of passion towards their kids and love for dance

George Berton

The staff and faculty at PDA Etobicoke are friendly, kind and make it super fun fun the kids to dance there. They truly care about the kids and provide the highest level of dance!!!

Julie Hunt

Maria Angela Pimentel

Excellent teachers! Great studio! Would highly recommend!!!!

Shannon Ionadi

Very well organized studio with great staff. Impressed that they have so many programs.

Sarah Miller

This is my daughter's 2nd year at Performing Dance Arts in Etobicoke and she absolutely loves it. The studio is bright, clean, and spacious. I love that I can peak in on her class through the one-way window, or watch in the lobby on the tvs. The staff are all friendly, professional, approachable, and caring. Teachers are encouraging towards the dancers; my daughter progressed so much in her first year at PDA over what she'd learned in the 3 years prior at another studio. To top it all off, the year end recital is truly an incredible production and such an amazing way for the dancers to share what they've learned.

V T

Excellent dance studio. Very clean and friendly instructors. My daughter loves going!

James Goduco

The staff and teachers are incredibly nice and friendly. Our kids are always excited to go to dance class.

Melissa Gubert

THE BEST SCHOOL IN ETOBICOKE. My 3 and 6 year old love the teachers and could not be a better place to start and continue their dance career. Spectacular team and teachers

Betty Black

Not sure why I'm bothering as my last review was conveniently deleted. Somehow only 5 star reviews get posted. Terrible customer service and rapport with the kids. Over crowded classrooms and hallways. Over priced for service provided.

Amanda Cleghorn

Performing Dance Arts is such a lovely studio for dancers. The staff is professional and friendly, the students are hard workers and they do such a great job of creating a fun, unique and positive environment to be in. All the teachers are properly certified, so you are guaranteed top quality teaching and you know that your children are in great hands. They offer a great selection of dance styles and classes that you can choose from, so you always have the option to try something new. The studio is bright, clean and beautifully spacious! I would highly recommend this studio!

Jennifer Maria

It is our first time at this studio. All of my questions were answered. They are very helpful. The teachers are great and my daughter loves going to class.

Jessica Ierullo

Performing Dance Arts is more than just a dance studio. It is a place where children of all ages can go to have fun, meet new friends, and learn from quality, certified teachers. It is a humble and positive environment, always supporting their staff and dancers to ensure the best experience for everyone. I absolutely love this dance studio and wouldn't go anywhere else. Once experiencing their kindness and expertise first hand as a dancer myself, I was hooked! Well done and keep up the good work!

Jodie Simard

Our daughter is 6 years old and has been going to this studio for the last year. In the last year she has met new friends, gained confidence and found something that she truly enjoys. The faculty are very professional, patient and full of enthusiasm. The studio is well organized, staff are super friendly and facilites are clean and modern. The end of the year performance was fantastic. It was well-produced, fast-moving and the music selection and dance numbers were enjoyable for all ages. I particularly enjoyed that the more advanced dancers remained in the background to enjoy while the younger dancers (like my daughter) could have their moment.

Fraser Cunningham

My daughters love to dance at PDA - instructors are amazing!

Karissa

Great dance studio! Very professional teachers and great environment for children to learn in!

Marisa Luisi Covello

Great facility that is close to home. Very clean and tidy. Kids love their instructor and are loving their classes on a weekly basis. Everyone is a pleasure to deal with. Have attended a Halloween party here as well and it is really fun. Kids had an amazing time.
