What is the DRSD Experience?
D Rhythm Soul Dance Experience is a new and diverse DANCE school in Calgary, Alberta.
With DRSD, you will experience any dance with Afro-Caribbean roots. This could be Jazz, Latin, Hip Hop, Lyrical, Modern Soca, Dancehall, Afro Beats, Caribbean-Creole and Afro Pumps. DRSD is the only dance school in Calgary where you will learn the 4 major modern techniques of Katherine Dunham, Lester Horton, Martha Graham and Limon.
The DRSD Experience is a creative fusion that takes your dancing to new levels. With DRSD you will experience the sweet ecstasy of accomplishment as you learn that “Everything Moves, Everything Has Rhythm.”
Dance is a FEELING, CREATIVITY, SELF EXPRESSION and STORY TELLING!
It is the joy passed down from the ancestors, it is the movement of the trees in the wind.
Dance is expressing art through the human body. The DRSD experience empowers every dancer to feel emotion through dramatic structure which allows for each dancer to tap in to all of their skills known and yet to be discovered. Each dancer is an individual with a unique perspective and skill set which brings something special to the community. Therefore at DRSD, we have created methods to teach all dancers, even those who believe they have two left feet.
Who Attends Our School?
DRSD welcomes dancers from all walks of life regardless of past training, age, gender or background. We are Canada’s most inclusive school of dance and movement. Come and experience the joy of artistic expression through movement with us.

Any dancer deserves an opportunity to perform, and it is my mission to build confidence in all dancers.
