Ambition Performing Arts Inc

Fun, quality, confidence and convenience - these are just a few of the reasons Ambition Performing Arts is once again the Readers' Choice Gold award winner in the Dance Studio category.

"We are looking forward to our most exciting season yet," says Ambition Performing Arts president and owner Tara Wildeman.

Now in its ninth season, Ambition Performing Arts is a dance studio with locations in Calgary and Airdrie, offering classes for everyone from babies to pre-professionals in ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop, lyrical and dance theatre, as well as holding examinations and competitions.

Ambition Performing Arts specializes in teaching beginning dancers, and offers programs for recreational dancers once a week.

Most dance programs start with children as young as two or three, with mixed classes as well as boys-only classes taught by a male instructor.

Ambition offers dancers professional facilities with sprung flooring, top-quality sound equipment, mirrors and barres. For parent viewing in the lobby, there's a live feed from cameras in the studio.

A large staff ensures there is a teacher for every learning style. Class sizes are small.

"Smaller class sizes with qualified instructors ensures strong learning and safe, proper technique," Wildeman says.

Ambition also offers classes in Kindermusik, a program for young children from newborns on up.

Ambition Performing Arts strives to make learning fun and easy, with a motivational environment designed to help students achieve their goals.

Convenient office hours are Monday through Friday from 4 to 8 p.m. and Saturday mornings.

There are locations in the northwest and south, as well as Airdrie.
