I've been in the Vancouver burlesque and dance community for about 15 years and only began my journey with Passion and Performance about a year ago but I feel like I finally found myself as a dancer at this studio. It's not just a dance studio, it's an experience that's welcoming to folks from all walks of life, from the adult who is just taking dance class for the first time ever, to the star who is in charge of running it all, you have a home at P&P!

I joined last year & this dance studio rocks! They have great teachers, fun vibe + so many styles of dance. There's the opportunity to perform in show hence the "performance". Luv being part of P&P family

Passion and Performance Dance Studio is hands down the BEST adult dance studio in Vancouver! Every time I attend as a guest, they make me feel so welcome. The atmosphere is inclusive and supportive, creating a safe space for dancers of all backgrounds, sizes, and experience levels. Their shows are absolutely incredible—full of creativity, energy, and passion. I can’t stop going to their events! If you’re looking for a studio where you can feel at home, grow as a dancer, and be part of an amazing community, this is the place to be. Highly recommend! ❤️

I love the studio and everyone who works here. I was so excited to see P&P open a Vancouver location! I first learned of them in Victoria, and they are just as amazing here. Check out their dance classes or the shows they put on - they are so hot, amazing, and full of talented dancers. My favorite classes are with Alexis for the low key, fun and crazy vibes. The dances (and costumes) are so unique. The studio is very welcoming and very queer, trans and LGBTQIA+ friendly and inclusive. They do their best to accomodate a variety of other disabilities as well (physical and mental). The studio is "performance based" in that they put on 6+ shows a year that feature dance newbies to experienced/professional dancers and are supportive of all levels. They will do their best to find the class and level that suits you best. You don't have to perform, but it is definitely encouraged!

Love this studio! Great option for adults new to dance or getting back into it, as well as more advanced dancers. Very welcoming diverse community vibe. Most classes have the option to perform in a show at the end of the session and the shows are a whole extravaganza with DJs, vendors and more. Fun opportunity to show what you’ve been working on to friends and family. Also the teachers are all super welcoming and inclusive and always share good tips on technique, injury prevention, etc.
