Who We Are

Edmonton Dance Theatre is a team of locally born, raised, or currently residing members of the Edmonton Dance Community who wanted to team up to offer consistent high quality dance classes in our city. The group is led by Our program director Emily Noton and includes Leah Paterson, Dr. Scott Maybank (Chiro), and Jake W Hastey. Each member of the team brings a unique perspective on professional dance training and performance but are unified by one principal.

Our Principal

To bring the quality and atmosphere of a New York City drop-in class to all levels of Edmonton dancer. Which is why we needed a team to keep ourselves inspired and working at the highest level possible. For those of you who haven't been to New York City to dance there is a magic to it but there is also a standard of preparedness, consistency, and energy that is a requirement to teach a class at any level there. So from beginner to advanced dancer we aim to give you the best experience possible!

Our Method

We have brought experienced community leading professionally trained dance teachers together under one umbrella. This so that you know that if you come to an Edmonton Dance Theatre class that you will have a good experience. Additionally we elect a program director with an exemplary dance career, teaching experience, and passion for developing Edmonton's dance community to lead us and to ensure that you have someone to help you on your dance journey.
