appearance.

B-boying and B-girling, also known as breakdancing,
is a unique form of urban dance that emerged in the
early 70's. Here's your chance to learn to do free-style
moves, stalls, freezes, power moves and much more from
Yvon Soglo, A.K.A. Bboy Crazy Smooth. Yvon is one of
Canada's top street dancers whose passion and respect
for this art form make his classes unforgettable.

Classical Ballet
Based on the Royal Academy of Dance syllabus, children
learn age-appropriate classical dance techniques and
exercises. The Royal Academy of Dance is the world's
largest examining and teacher organization for classical
ballet. The standards are very high and certificates
issued by the academy are acknowledged across the world.
Our faculty is fully trained in R.A.D. Offered both
competitively and recreationally.

Hip Hop
Hip Hop is the dance industry's new fit-factor. The
dynamics of Hip Hop dancing are as physically demanding
as any sport, requiring strength, flexibility, endurance,
and control. Unlike most sports, however, Hip Hop breeds
a philosophy of originality and positive character-building.
Students are encouraged to try out different characters
or emotions, and to express them in their dance with
passion and energy.

Jazz
Using upbeat and in-style music, this class offers students
the training to learn and improve their turning and
jumping abilities while refining style and technique.
Our jazz classes are based on Brian
Foley A.D.A.P.T. (Associated Dance Arts for Professional
Teachers) and C.D.T.A. (Canadian Dance Teachers Association)
programs, which we believe provide the necessary tools
to developing a well-rounded dancer.
These programs produce well-trained dancers who excel
in technique and performance, showing excellent results
in both exams and competitions. As certified dance syllabi
they offer yearly examinations to students. Offered
both competitively and recreationally.

Lyrical
Using choreography and lyrical techniques the students
learn how to express themselves and show emotion while
dancing and performing. Searching for expression from
within, students learn to portray a story or a feeling
through body movement.

Strength Training and Flexibility Workshops
Shane Miller, a Certified Medical Exercise Specialist
and Certified Personal Trainer will be holding strength
and conditioning clinics where he will work with students
to assess areas of potential weakness, and devise movement
and strengthening strategies to repair and rebuild injured
tissues and optimize functionality of muscles involved
in high stress activities.

Tap
Technical basics with emphasis on rhythm and coordination.
Our jazz classes are based on Brian Foley (Associated
Dance Arts for Professional Teachers) and C.D.T.A. (Canadian
Dance Teachers Association) programs which we believe
allow the dancer to progress without limiting them to
one tap style.
These programs produce well-trained
dancers who excel in technique and performance, showing
excellent results in both exams and competitions. As
certified dance syllabi they offer yearly examinations
to students. Offered both competitively and recreationally.
