Welcome to Dance Horizons!

Dance Horizons is a student-run dance club at the University of British Columbia. We offer you dance classes in ballet, jazz, modern, hip hop, breakdancing, tap and cardio funk. At the end of the school year, we always put on a great show to let all of you show off your skills to family and friends.

Visit the schedule page to take a look at our schedule or come by our office (in the basement of the Sub, Room 30F) during the school year to pick up a schedule.

Please email us if you have any questions.

  • PUSSYCAT DOLLS STYLE HIP HOP with STEPHANIE SY
    • You may recognize Stephanie from teaching at Harbour Dance Centre, or even from So You Think You Can Dance Canada. We are looking into holding a Pussycat Dolls Style Hip Hop class with Stephanie but we need to make sure the demand is there first! Please email us at dance_horizons@hotmail.com and let us know whether you would like this class to be held regularly in our schedule (Monday 4-5pm), as an alternation class with the Tap class on Mondays from 4-5pm (ex. two weeks tap, two weeks Pussycat Dolls Style Hip Hop), or have Stephanie come as a GUEST TEACHER a few times a term.
    • Pussycat Dolls Style Hip Hop ("hip hop in heels") is a more feminine type of hip hop that incorporates steps and styles you would see in pop music videos (Britney Spears, Pussycat Dolls, Beyonce, etc). Take this class and build confidence, tone muscles, increase flexibility, and have fun! (ps. you don't have to wear heels to do this class if you don't want to!)
