Our Programs
Rising Star Program
Our Rising Star Program is designed for dancers aged 2 to 5. It begins with our Tiny Tot class for 2-year-olds, where dancers participate alongside a parent/guardian. This class introduces little ones to the joy of movement through music, with a ballet-based curriculum that builds coordination, balance, and confidence in a fun, supportive environment.
As dancers grow, they progress into ballet-focused creative movement classes, and can also explore introductory styles such as jazz, tap, and hip hop which develops rhythm, musicality, and basic technique.
Students ages 3 and up participate in our exciting year-end performance each June at the Living Arts Centre in Mississauga.
Recreational Program
The recreational dance program teaches the basic principles and terminology in a variety of styles, including acro, ballet, hip hop, jazz, lyrical, and tap. Students are placed in classes based on their age and prior experience, ensuring they receive the right level of instruction and support.
Our recreational program is designed to be both fun and engaging, creating an environment where every student feels welcomed and encouraged. Classes are tailored to each dancer, allowing them to develop at their own pace while still being challenged to grow, improve, and gain confidence. All programs follow a set syllabus to ensure that a high standard of instruction is maintained.
Students also participate in a year-end performance at the Living Arts Centre in Mississauga each June, giving them the opportunity to showcase their progress and celebrate their achievements on stage.
