​​Founded in 1979, DansEncorps  remains one of the most important dance centers in Atlantic Canada. Renowned for its diversity of dance styles, the DansEncorps school focuses on a modern-oriented program, distilling the styles and techniques of classical, contemporary, jazz and many other dance styles and techniques that currently dominate the dance scene.

Located in the beautiful Aberdeen Cultural Centre, the school is adjacent to art galleries, daycare centers, artists' studios, cultural and artistic organisations and a restaurant.
