We start each season in September. The 2024/2025 Season starts on September 7,  2024 and ends on June 21, 2025. Our Year end show is on June 23 & 24, 2025

Our Year End Show is performed at Meadowvale Theatre in Mississauga. Our entire studio performs in the show and all students together, Competitive and Recreational, get to be a part of our exciting Finale!

For our Primary and Junior Recreational classes, there is one teacher and two assistants per class. Assistants in the classroom give students clear demonstrations of what the teacher expects them to work toward. It also provides them with familiarity and comfort during their class time.

Assistants are present on stage at the year end show with the younger dancers aged two to five years old to help them remember their choreography without looking out into the wings. This has been proven to be very effective and dancers feel more confidant while on stage.

Parents are asked to drop their dancers off in the lobby. Our teachers and assistants will bring them back into the classroom and assist them with putting on their dance shoes. Parents are not allowed to come into the classroom with their dancers as it can be distracting to the teacher and the other children in the classroom. Children also tend to focus on their parent and not the teacher. This prevents them from learning and developing independently in the classroom. Parents may observe the classes on the monitor in the lobby until choreography starts. 

We welcome dancers as young as 2 1/2 years old. They must be able to take a class independently as parents will not be with them in class. 

Classes are 1 hour long, depending on the class.  Advanced Ballet classes are 75-90 min long. Some Acro classes are also 90 min long. 

Our teachers are very approachable and you are always welcome to ask any questions you may have. You will be updated on your child’s progress throughout the year and recommendations may be made for additional classes.

Our competitive teams range from Mini to Senior Full-time teams. Throughout the season, teachers may make recommendations when they feel a dancer is ready to start training at a competitive level. Parents will then be notified and they can make the decision if they are ready to commit to the team. 

Our full-time dancers will train for 8+ hours per week. All levels, Mini, Junior, Intermediate and Senior, must take two Exam Ballet classes, Jazz, Acro, Tap, Hip Hop and Lyrical/Contemporary. They also take a conditioning class and a Technique Jumps & Turns class.

Our teams compete in four competitions and attend a minimum of two workshops per season. All competitive teams must attend summer training. 

Part-Time Teen Competitive Hip Hop dancers take a conditioning and Hip Hop class each week and compete in four competitions. 

For their safety and professionalism, all dancers should attend their classes wearing proper dance attire/shoes and with hair pulled back neat and tidy and off their face. For ballet, hair must always be pulled back into a bun. Exceptions can be made for braided hair. Please see our dress code page for full details.
