About Counterpoint Dance Academy Marda Loop
For 25 years, Counterpoint Dance Academy Marda Loop (CPML) has proudly called the vibrant Marda Loop community home. Our journey began in September 2000 with just 30 students in a rented dance room at a local school. In 2002, we opened our first dedicated location, and over the years our growing dance family expanded to three locations. In 2016, a dream became reality when our beautiful home at Garrison Corner was built, bringing our entire studio community together under one roof.
Today, CPML is a diverse, family-oriented dance studio where dancers are professionally trained across a vibrant range of disciplines. We are committed to developing strong, confident and expressive dancers in an environment that is challenging, nurturing and fun.
At the heart of CPML are three values: DANCE. FAMILY. COMMUNITY.
We believe that a love of dance is the foundation for meaningful training. Our professional and invested faculty work to develop technical excellence while helping dancers build the life skills that extend far beyond the studio — discipline, focus, work ethic, confidence, compassion and a genuine sense of community.
CPML offers both Non-Intensive and Intensive programs, allowing families to choose the training experience that best suits their dancer. Our Non-Intensive programs provide flexibility while maintaining a high standard of instruction. Our Intensive programs offer a progressive and challenging schedule designed to develop highly technical, versatile and emotive dancers. Intensive dancers may also have the opportunity to join our competitive program, The Marda Loop Dance Team (MLDT), where they can further develop their abilities and pursue their potential at the highest level.
We treasure our entire dance family — from our youngest preschool dancers to our Grade 12 graduates. It is one of our greatest privileges to watch our dancers grow, not only as artists, but as individuals.
After 25 years, our greatest achievement is the community we have built. We are incredibly thankful for the dancers, families, instructors and Marda Loop community who have shaped CPML and continue to make it such a special place to dance, grow and belong.
25 years of DANCE. FAMILY. COMMUNITY.
We are proud to dance in the Loop.
