More Than Just Dance
At Holly Hughes Dance Academy, we believe dance is about more than learning steps. It’s about building confidence, friendships, creativity and a lifelong love of dance.
Our experienced teachers create a positive and supportive environment where dancers are encouraged to learn, grow and be themselves, whether they're stepping into the studio for the first time or have been dancing for years.

Founder & Artistic Director of Holly Hughes Dance Academy
Holly Hughes founded Holly Hughes Dance Academy in 1983, with a passion for dance and a vision of creating a studio where dancers could receive excellent training in a positive, supportive environment.
More than 40 years later, Holly continues to be at the heart of HHDA. Over the decades, she has taught and inspired generations of Guelph dancers, many of whom have returned with children of their own.
Holly believes that dance is about more than technique. It’s about building confidence, friendships, discipline and a lifelong love of dance while giving every dancer the opportunity to reach their own potential.
