ABOUT US
Dance. Act. Perform.
The SPACE is a Charitable organization that brings the world of the arts to the rural community of Springfield, Manitoba and surrounding area through a variety of art classes including many styles of dance, theatre, visual, literary, music and much more. Our highly trained and certified instructors have a wealth of experience in teaching and performing various styles and disciplines.

PURPOSE
To educate and increase the public's understanding and appreciation of the arts by providing performances of an artistic nature in public places and by providing seminars on topics related to such performances; and to advance education by establishing and operating schools.
MISSION STATEMENT
To provide a positive and stimulating environment for youth and adults to gain knowledge and skills and to share the love of the arts while at the same time developing self-esteem, self-confidence, physical and emotional well-being by offering structured classes and performance opportunities.
Our belief is that arts education is more than learning how to perform. It is a tool on which to build physical awareness, poise, grace, self-esteem and confidence.
