Welcome to Leeming DanceWorks! We offer classes in kinderdance, ballet, jazz, tap, lyrical, contemporary, hip-hop, PBT, musical theatre and acrobatics. Class levels run from beginner to advanced, from ages 2 and up, and recreational to competitive.
We take pride in our studio complete with 3 spacious air-conditioned studios with sprung, raised Rosco floors, mirrors and barres. Our faculty is highly qualified and experienced.
At Leeming DanceWorks, we are proud of our wonderful reputation across Ottawa, and Ontario. We are known for our outstanding results in competitions year after year, our innovative choreography, and the versatility of our dancers. Our year-end recital is held at the beautiful Shenkman Theatre in Orleans. We put on a highly professional production for the benefit of all our students. Professional lighting, sound, and costumes make this the highlight of the year.
Lyrical dance is characterized by fluidity and grace. It gets a message across using lots of emotion. Lyrical is not as fast as jazz, but faster than ballet.
Musical Theatre is a Broadway style, jazz-based class that blends music, acting, and dancing to tell a story. Students build on their performance skills and theatrical expression.
Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT) is an innovative body-conditioning and strengthening program that has been designed to enhance students’ technique by focusing on training the muscle memory required in each exercise in all forms of dance.
Stretch and strength class is designed to increase control, flexibility and strength of all dancers. Flexibility is one of the most important aspects of dance training, since dancers’ bodies are under constant demand to maintain a degree of flexibility.
Our studio mandate is to inspire self-confidence, promote friendship, and instill healthy habits both physically and emotionally in our students. 95% of new students who register each year come to us through a recommendation from an existing family.
I attended Leeming DanceWorks for 20 years, first as a little dancer and later as a teacher. I cannot express how grateful I am to have been a part of this community. Not only did I learn technique, I learnt dedication and commitment, and gained confidence that continues to positively impact my career and life to date. Sharon is an incredible teacher and mentor. I highly recommend the studio and look forward to enrolling my little one for classes in such an encouraging environment.

Although I was never a dancer myself, I have a lot of respect for the world of dancers and all of the wonderful things that come with it. Camille and Léah have grown to be great and extremely well rounded young ladies and dance has played a significant role in all of this for many reasons. It was my pleasure to help with fundraising and all the rehearsals. Everyone benefited and we as parents had lots of fun doing it as well - Some great team bonding time! I have absolutely nothing bad to say, I will definitely cherish every little bit of it.

Leeming DanceWorks was my second home growing up, and I simply can’t imagine the person I would be today if I hadn't had the experiences that I did thanks to the studio. Thank you so much and wishing you all the best in years to come.
