North Surrey Dance is a public educational dance program based out of North Surrey Secondary School. As a community, we strive every day to be good-hearted humans, creative artists and dynamic dancers.

Under the direction of Ms. Menelaine Valencia, our program explores the cultures, and techniques of various dance forms such as Hip-Hop, Breaking, Contemporary and Bhangra.
