We are now on our usual summer break, returning September 2024.  If you have any queries or comments, you can find our contact information listed under Contacts in the drop-down Menu.  We would be happy to assist you with guidance regarding private lessons or special occasions. The old adage “If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing well” rings very true and for good reason.  So it is with learning Dance.  There are no shortcuts, magic bullets or substitutes for practical, experienced leadership backed up by Regular Practice.  We are living more and more in an ‘Instant World’, but it must be said that the results of a ‘quick and easy’ approach rarely measure up to the quality and depth of the real thing.  It makes so much sense for anything that we set out learn, to do it right the first time so as to avoid frustration and discouragement. Our focus is on sharing and promoting the basics in dance with our attendees.  It is well recognized that developing a solid foundation in dance provides the ideal platform from which to achieve one’s goals, whatever level they may be.  It can’t be emphasized enough that good, solid basics are the gateway to improvement and success.  We are all different, and finding the best approach for ourselves can be a challenge, but if as a dancer, you have a dance group that you value, demonstrate that with regular support, because any group that does not benefit from your regular participation and support, may not be there for you one day.  If you or anyone you know might like to receive our Weekly Updates, please be sure to get names and email addresses to us.  Alternatively, if anyone does not wish to continue receiving our updates, we adhere to a permission-based platform for sending email communications in compliance with Canada’s Anti Spam Legislation, so please be sure to let us know what and when to unsubscribe.

DN Drop-in: Well, we have reason to be hopeful as we make our way through this ever developing Covid world. The vaccination program seems to be developing into a solid routine, and in Canada at least, we may well be getting a jump in the race against variants, so we are still hopeful that it will all translate into an opportunity to resume drop-in sessions for the 2021-2022 season with a normal Sept start. Obviously we are just one small part of the re-establishing process that stems from the Provincial Government, down through the local School District, the Y (our landlords) and finally to Dance North, but the general thinking at this point is that we have better than a 50/50 chance – we will let you know as soon as we get any positive news.
