Front & Centre Dance Academy is conveniently located at the south west corner of Bathurst & Eglinton Avenue.You can find us in the Nortown Plaza where there is plenty of parking available.
Our beautiful studio is equipped with reception and waiting room, beautiful spacious change rooms and lockers. Students dance on a state of the art Harlequin sprung floor and an additional cushioning under the floor helps to prevent injury by absorbing much of the stress placed on even the most accomplished dancer's body. Mirrors and Alva barres complete the studio, along with a club quality sound system ready to pump some energy into the room.
Parents may watch the lessons through a viewing window and a larger window allows for plenty of daylight throughout the entire space.
