Help your child become the confident and strong person you know they can be. Come and join the Royal Dance Conservatory family. Become apart of the dance academy where your child won't be lost in a crown and where they can openly express themselves. Royal Dance Conservatory prides itself on having three different divisions where students can grow and excel while focusing on their individual needs as dancers.

The Recreational Division gives students the opportunity to grow, flourish, and learn proper technique, all with the main focus being having fun in a positive and encouraging environment.

Our Performance Division provides dancers who are excelling in their recreational dance classes more time in the studio. It allows serious students the opportunity to develop their talent, performance skills, and deepen their passion for dance.

Finally, the Competitive Division is for the most determined dancer. Training is more extensive ensuring progress, while encouraging fluidity of movement and strengthening the dancers overall abilities. Students are more challenged and focused on their technique and performance readying them to participate in various dance competitions throughout the season.​

Throughout that time there has only been two changes in ownership. The studio passes from owner to long time instructor to maintain a constant focus that emphasizes the ongoing relationship between staff and students as a family.

Nicole Gornik is the newest owner at the dance studio of Royal Dance Conservatory. However, she is not new to RDC. Nicole began dancing at RDC at the age of 5 and has developed from student to instructor to director.

A successful dance studio needs not only talent but effective management and administration. Nicole has known from an early age that she wanted and needed to put her imprint upon this studio. Owning, operating, and directing two dance studios requires a degree of business administration. Before moving to manager Nicole attended RRC in Business Administration. She graduated with Honours in the course and then took over RDC.

Nicole not only manages RDC she is involved in every aspect of the curriculum and teaching. She has been trained in Ballet, Pointe, Jazz, Tap, Hip Hop, Lyrical, and Contemporary. Most recently she has completed all ten levels of the Acrobatic Arts Teacher Certification in Toronto. She is fully certified after completing her exams in Modules 1 and 2.

Nicole as a student has travelled across North America performing and competing. She has placed second for her Pointe Solo in Dance World Cup (Montreal), performed in Disney World for Dance the World, and won highest point for her Ballet Solo at Ovation Dance Challenge (Fargo).

Most recently she and her competitive team were placed as a Top Studio Finalist in Toronto at the Kick It Up Dance Competition. Nicole looks forward on bringing new life to the RDC dance studios. Be sure to watch what's on the horizon for Nicole Gornik and Royal Dance Conservatory.

Join the Royal Dance Conservatory family where you'll be more than just a number! At RDC everyone matters; our staff takes a substantial interest in who each student is as individuals, they are passionate in helping them grow and express themselves through dance.
