for the love of dance

Canada Dances is where movement meets meaning. From coast to coast, we connect dancers, teachers, parents, and businesses through a marketplace made for the dance world.

Share your classes, events, and creative work. Feature your studio and be seen across Canada. Buy and sell used gear. Discover premium merch designed for life in motion.

More than a marketplace, we’re a collective expression of dance — a place to connect, share and wear.

meet the founders

Canada Dances was born from a lifelong friendship and a shared devotion to the art of movement. Since meeting on the dance floor in the 1990s, we’ve built careers, memories, and a deep love for the community that shapes us.

That connection lives here — a space created to bring dancers, teachers, parents, and studios together across Canada. A place to share classes and events, buy and sell, and discover pieces designed for life in motion.

Jaime is an award-winning choreographer and dedicated dance educator, celebrated for her creativity and commitment to technique. Shauna, an entrepreneur and university professor, brings her business vision and continued love for learning, still taking class with Jaime every week.

Together we created Canada Dances to celebrate the rhythm that connects us all, a community in motion inspired to create, move, and belong.
