our facility
With three large, spacious studios, Joy’s Dance Factory offers one of the best dance facilities in Lethbridge!
All of our studios feature professional-grade sprung Marley floors, designed to reduce impact and protect dancers’ bodies—just like those used in top dance schools around the world. Our space also includes a large reception area, three washrooms, and a generous change room for our students’ comfort. The upstairs studios can transform into a black box theatre, perfect for hosting intimate performances and in-house showcases.
For our Acro dancers, we’re fully equipped with floor mats and stackable mats to support safe and skillful training.

testimonials
Joy’s Dance Factory was my second home growing up—a place where I honed my skills, cultivated artistry, built lifelong friendships and developed the foundation for a professional dance career.
Now, as a teacher and choreographer, I see how it inspires passion and growth in the dancers who walk through the doors. The caliber of training and dedicated staff make it the best place to learn and create. I’m forever grateful to be part of this amazing studio’s legacy!
– Susan Hutcheon Roberts
I have danced here for my whole dance career, having it open doors to so many opportunities in my life. I have met some of my greatest friends here and friends I will continue to know for life. The teachers work hard to push us to the best of our abilities in such a caring environment, I could not ask for better.
– Talia Crabbe (Student)
We joined Joy’s Dance Factory two years ago and have been so thrilled with our experience! Under the well trained and encouraging staff she grew leaps and bounds in her technique and confidence! It was a healthy and fun environment for her to end her studio dance career! They also set her up and gave her the knowledge to make dance part of her long term goals! I would highly recommend JDF to anyone!
