About Airdrie Dance Academy
Where quality is fun!
Founded in 1992 by Mrs. Susan Laing (Miss Susan)
Susan started dancing at the age of 3. She had weak feet and the doctors told her parents she either needed "casts and built-up shoes" or "dance" to strengthen her feet. Thankfully, they chose dance. When she was 10 years old, her family moved from Armstrong, BC to Erskine, Alberta. Her mom drove her to dance in Red Deer several times a week for her dance training.
As she grew up, so did her love of dance. She took classes whenever and wherever she could. She had an insatiable thirst for knowledge in dance and performing arts. At the age of 18, Miss Susan opened her first dance studio in Erskine, Alberta. Her post-secondary education took her from Red Deer College to the University of Calgary and eventually to live in Airdrie with her husband, Joe.
The philosophy at Airdrie Dance Academy is fun, with clear expectations and great communication. Miss Susan knows the value of family and prides herself and studio on being able to balance great dancing with family time and hard work in the studio.
