Our History
Ambition Performing Arts is owned by Tara Pickford. It was founded in 2002 and has served more than 6000 families in our rich history. Children and their development is what we do. Parents are looking for quality programs with protected investments. We are here providing safe spaces for happy healthy kids to grow with great mentors to provide a guided path to get there. We are creating tomorrow’s leaders, today.
Our Ambition
Our mission is to be an innovator in dance education, developing friendships and skills for a lifetime. We believe that an arts education is about more than just great dancing.
Community
A portion of EVERY registration in our school goes to a scholarship fund to help youth in our community gain access to the arts. As of January 2022, Ambition Performing Arts had donated back over $200,000 back into our Airdrie community youth.
