Registration for the winter session opens November 15 at 10:00am! Session-based classes offer a fantastic opportunity for a shorter commitment without a recital performance. They’re a great way to try something new and see if your child likes it before signing up for a longer term class. Scroll down to see our winter offerings!

All of the classes marked “SS” on the Full Season schedule are Seasonal Sessions. The schedule is subject to change based on registration and demand.

For adult classes we’re trying something new! Instead of the usual session-based options we’re introducing Rolling Registration! Rolling Registration is an option we’re offering for our adult classes to accommodate work & life schedules. RR classes are ongoing full season classes that can be joined at any time throughout the season so as the student fits the level of the class and there is room available. Registration can be cancelled at any time with a minimum one month’s notice by email. This provides an option for adult students to essentially freeze their membership if there is a point in the season they cannot attend and resume when they are able. Rolling Registration classes do not participate in recitals. Rolling Registration is only available for select marked classes.

Discover Dance

• Saturday 12:15-1:15, ages 6-9 ($240 + GST)

A beginner level multi-style class that allows students to experience and enjoy various genres of dance! Students will try ballet, jazz, hip hop, and tap dancing. The perfect way to get a feel for various styles and let young dancers try it all! In this fun, energetic class, kids will explore four fantastic styles:

• Ballet: Learn grace, posture, and foundational technique.
• Jazz: Develop flexibility, rhythm, and show-stopping flair.
• Tap: Make music with their feet and boost coordination.
• Hip Hop: Build confidence with fresh, funky moves.

Dress code: Please dress in comfortable and flexible dancewear and have long hair tied back. If students have ballet, jazz, and/or tap shoes already they can bring their own. Please bring clean indoor runners for the tap and hop hop weeks. We have tap shoes available to borrow but students can tap in their runners if we don’t have their size of tap shoes available. Weeks 1-3 will be ballet, weeks 4-6 jazz, weeks 7-9 tap, weeks 9-12 hip hop.

Live out your circus dreams in our Acro & Aerial combo classes! Students will learn fundamentals of acro, aerial silks, and aerial hoop skills. Each class is a 50/50 split of acro and either aerial silks or aerial hoop. Flexibility, body awareness, strength, and acro skills learned on the ground will help students safely progress in their aerial training. Students will develop strength, control, coordination, and confidence in this class!

Levels: Please note the 1:15 class is listed as Level 2. Level 2 is only recommended for children who have already taken minimum one, preferably two seasonal sessions of the Level 1 class already. Level 1 is inclusive to new beginner students but also an option to those who may have already taken a session of Level 1 and want to continue building their basic skills before moving to Level 2.

Dress code: Please come dressed leggings and a bodysuit or fitted top. Bodysuits are best for going upside down as they stay securely in place. A fitted shirt can also work. Long hair is to be worn tied back. Please do not wear anything with zippers, clasps, or notions that could potentially snag on the aerial silks and damage them. No fake nails, jewelry of any kind or anything sharp that could damage the fabric.
