New Programs!

Intro to Musical Theatre 

Jump into the world of stage performance with a fun focus on musicals! 

In this class, students will get an opportunity to enhance their performance skills by engaging in acting techniques,  exploring breath and voice work, and trying diverse styles of choreography through exploring some of musical theatre's most beloved and brand-new Musicals! 

This fun-filled class will not focus on the technique of singing, the student does NOT need to be a comfortable singer and will not be required to sing to be in this class! All though we always welcome singing. NOTE: one class will feature a Singing For Stage workshop with a special guest!**

PLAY with movement / Creative Dance 

 Build a lifelong connection to Personal physical literacy in Play With Movement!

 During this Creative Movement Dance Class for young children, we are focusing on all the ways we can PLAY with Movement. With a focus on fun, and individuality within a group setting this class is designed to build healthy connections of our body and mind! Beyond your introductory dance class that focuses on pre technique and pattern retention, This class focuses on building a healthy foundation for many forms of movement to thrive within a young child's growing body to strengthen their physical literacy. During this class, students will get to explore various forms of social dance, play movement and creative thinking games,  engage in imaginative play, explore musicality and share their fabulous selves with a safe and supportive community. Every dancer will come home proud of themselves and tired! 

Moving together!/ Creative Dance with Caregiver 

This creative movement class is designed for the Caregiver and the Child to explore their connection to movement with each other in a community environment!

During this class, the group will play different movement and creative thinking games that are geared for very young children and their families to grow lifelong happy and healthy connections to movement and music. Explore movement and dance in ways that wake us up, calm us down, help us focus, and allow us to connect and have FUN! This class will always feature a dance party with song requests of course!

Young people who excel in dance and are committed to taking several classes a week may be invited to participate in these Programs.

Intensive Training Program students are expected to behave with respect and discipline in all classes and rehearsals, and to attend all classes and be on time for classes, rehearsals and performances. The benefits of joining a Program are not only the high level of dance training the students will receive, but also to foster hard work, expression, long lasting friendships, and a sense of belonging to a very special group of creative youth.

Intensive Training Program (ITP)

Junior, Intermediate and Senior ITP students will have the opportunity to work at a quicker pace, taking 5 classes per week. Students are expected to show dedication and respect for their fellow ITP members, and will have the opportunity to perform at community events in addition to participating in our end the year-end performances for the General division, Preschool in house performances, and the Gala performance. These students will also prepare and do their Royal Academy of Dance Ballet Exams every other year.

Other features of this program include a quicker classroom pace, field trips to professional performances, and the opportunity to perform in local community events. These students will also participate in our end the year-end performances for the General division, and the Gala performance.

Pre-Professional Program (PPP)

This program is designed to encourage and educate dancers who are interested in experiencing the work and discipline of a professional dancer, performing as part of a dance company. Expectations are for these dancers to participate in fundraising for company activities, creating choreographic work, organizing events and performances, and to expose themselves to dance by attending many professional dance performances. The training includes classes in ballet, modern, jazz, tap and pointe. Choreographic workshops will be introduced, where the dancers can focus on creating work to be shown at their own independent dance performance. Extra performances and workshops will be offered to these students. This program hopes to inspire the students with a dedication to dance, theatre and art that will last throughout their lives.
