At GMB Dance, we believe great dance education should challenge, encourage, and make room for every dancer to grow.

Our classes combine strong technical foundations with creativity, curiosity, and the joy of movement. From a dancer's very first class to more advanced training and performance opportunities, we meet students where they are and help them discover where dance can take them.

With classes for children, youth, and adults in Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Contemporary, and more, GMB is a place to learn, create, connect, and dance.

  • “Jen took the time to address each and every dancer, individually giving them encouragement, respect, inspiration and incredibly accurate critiques. She used very interesting analogies and metaphors to explain sometimes intricate corrections. It was enlightening to watch her connect with the dancers who were from ages 5 to 20. I would recommend Jen for any teaching or adjudicating position and look forward to working with her again in the future.”

  • “As a dancer who was taught by Jen Cole for 7 years, (2 of which under very close instruction in a half day program) my dancing was significantly enhanced and aided by her coaching. It was clear to everyone that her genuine care and her investment in her students was what set her apart from other teachers.”

    Kate Walker, North Vancouver, BC

  • “Her nurturing work with our young dancers was demonstrated by her students’ readiness for their RAD exams as well as excellence in execution and performance of her original choreography in competition and showcases, which ensured her students were wonderful representatives for Goh Ballet Academy on stage and in the studio.”
