La Girandole - À propos

L'association La Girandole

The only francophone dance school in Edmonton

Located in the heart of the Cité francophone, La Girandole offers a wide variety of dance classes for both children and adults. Our school promotes the artistic and personal development of each individual in an open and welcoming Francophone environment.

What makes us different? Our talented teachers and dynamic team!

Quick facts

All of our classes are taught in French.
You – or your child – don’t need to speak French to attend our classes. It may be harder at first but it’s a great way to immerse yourself and make quick progress!
Our office team is perfectly bilingual. You can therefore communicate in English without any problem with us!

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out or visit us, we’d be happy to help!
