Passion and Performance is a dance and performance studio just for adults - a studio for everybody and every body! With locations in Victoria and Vancouver, we pride ourselves in offering classes to fit all levels, bodies and abilities. Our passion is in creating a safe and inclusive space for adults to learn about dance and performing. We offer a variety of shows throughout the year where students can show off their hard work to friends and family. If you have yet to see a P&P show, let us assure you, they’re a blast. Think of them like rock concerts—with all the cheering, the loud music and the fun, but it’s everyday people who are the stars!

Though dance is our tool, and you will certainly sweat, learn new skills, ignite old passions and maybe scratch off a performance bucket list item, friends and community are the heart and soul of P&P. We believe that everyone should dance if they wish to. And so, you will find classes in all different styles, levels, and performance options. We are a heart-centered business, passionate about performance, art and wellness and making every day a little more sparkly.
