About Us


DeLarue Dance Centre, founded in 1970 by Carol DeLarue, has been providing dance education for 50 years and continues to strive for excellence in the art of dance under the direction of Melodee Zay. DeLarue’s dedicated staff offers quality, structured dance education in a fun and family environment.

Classes are held in an organized environment where emphasis is placed on learning each dance subject thoroughly, with focus given to proper technique. This environment not only builds strong dancers, but instills discipline and self-esteem, as well as an appreciation for dance and the performing arts.

For the more serious dancer, the dedication given to proper technique and the excellence in ballet and jazz training gives our dancers the opportunity to progress to a higher level in the dance world. DeLarue offers company auditions for these dancers to become part of a competition team.
