About Us
Our Philosophy
We strive to inspire our students and nourish their creativity by providing them with a combination of our professional, technical expertise and the strong passion and love that we have for dance.
In our vibrant studio atmosphere, we are committed to open communication and mutual respect. We take very seriously our position and responsibility as role models in the lives of our students. We look forward to being a part of nurturing positive, meaningful relationships.
We build beautiful dancers in body, mind and spirit.
Our History
The studio was established in 1994 and operated under the name Excalibre Dance Productions Inc. In July 2006 Gail Neuman became the sole owner and changed the name to Dansko Studios Inc. New heights in all aspects were reached during the 2006/07 season, thanks to changes made and thanks to our phenomenal faculty!
dansko studios is the home to its own beautiful state-of-the-art, 6,000 sq ft building that was designed and custom built in 2002, specifically for dance. Features include 3 professionally-equipped, air-conditioned spacious studios, with 12ft. ceilings, sprung floors and viewing windows/gallery from large lounge/kitchen area, boys and girls change rooms, and welcoming reception area, with a comfortable office and convenient parking lot. dansko has offered programs in partnership with Saanich Commonwealth Place since 1994. Our “fourth studio”, also a professional dance space, is located only a few minutes from our building on West Sanich Rd.
Annually, 2nd weekend of June, our dancers participate in our three professionally presented year end shows at the renowned, restored Royal Theatre in Victoria…….’Where the Professionals Dance’.
Last but not least, the history of our ongoing reputation for excellence together with our track record of success make us enormously proud.

“Dansko Studios has been my second home for many years – first as a student and then as an instructor. As a student I always felt comfortable and welcomed into the studio and that my best interests were carefully considered. As an instructor, I learned how hard the Directors and instructors work to provide a high quality environment where children and teens can learn to dance, learn to work within groups and grow into strong individuals. The office door is always open and there is always someone willing to answer a question or provide guidance to ensure the best Dansko experience.”
