Children’s ballet classes are a great way for kids to learn the basics of ballet in a fun and supportive environment. Ballet is the basis for most dance forms, and is absolutely crucial if you want to become a professional dancer or a teacher.
In these classes, children will learn proper posture, flexibility, and coordination while being introduced to basic ballet concepts. The curriculum is designed to encourage age-appropriate creativity, musicality, and physicality.
We teach the world renowned Cecchetti Method at our school which is the style that is used by the National Ballet of Canada. The Cecchetti Society of Canada is a student-focused, national organization dedicated to the preservation and promotion of the Cecchetti Method of classical ballet and committed to the highest standards of training for dancers and teachers.
Students will work on barre, center, stretching, adagio, and allegro work. The focus is on clean execution and a physical and intellectual understanding of how and why each movement is executed. With exclusive teaching methods, students will progress further, more quickly and safely
Galen Lessels is an expert in Ballet, even was the ONTARIO REPRESENTATIVE for Cecchetti Canada representing all members in our province, and has her ASSOCIATE DIPLOMA certification.
There are also open classes which use the theory of the method but with more freedom and creative choreography.
Jazz dance classes are a great way for kids to learn the basics of jazz in a fun and supportive environment. In these classes, children will learn new forms of self-expression and creativity.
Jazz energizes the mind and the creative spirit in a unique way. The improvisational nature of the dance genre plays a critical role in a child’s self-expression. Students will learn about different styles of jazz dance, including classical and modern.
This type of dancing is energetic and fun, consisting of unique moves, fancy footwork, big leaps and quick turns. To excel in jazz, dancers need a strong background in ballet, as it encourages grace and balance.
Jazz dancing is a form of dance that showcases a dancer’s individual style and originality. Every jazz dancer interprets and executes moves and steps in their own way.
The focus is on building confidence, technical ability, and performance quality.
We teach contemporary, modern, and musical theatre style jazz in all jazz classes so that the dancers, can be well rounded and technically strong.
It is highly recommended that you take ballet along with the jazz classes.
Optional Jazz exam classes are offered in the summer programs.
Lyrical dance is a beautiful and expressive dance style that blends ballet and jazz dance. It is a great way for children to learn how to express themselves through movement and music.
Lyrical dancers use movement to express strong emotions such as love, joy and anger. They usually perform to music with lyrics…the lyrics of the chosen song serve as inspiration for movements and expressions. Lyrical is a very mature style of dance and requires the ability to relate to the music, with the lyrics, the phrasing, and the rhythm.
Children will learn how to take all of that and show the appropriate emotions, and dramatic effect to communicate with the audience.
Ballet is also highly recommended to be able to perform this style well. We offer lyrical dance classes for children of all ages and levels. Our experienced instructors will help your child develop their skills in a fun and supportive environment while building their confidence and self-expression.
Contemporary dance is a beautiful and expressive dance style that combines elements of several dance genres including modern, jazz, lyrical and classical ballet.
It is a great way for children to learn how to express themselves through fluid dance movements.
Contemporary dancers strive to connect the mind and the body through their movements. This dance form requires a lot of maturity and strength in technique. It is very expressive and uses abstract movements to create interesting images and tell stories. Contemporary dancers focus on floorwork, using gravity to pull them down to the floor.
This dance genre is often done in bare feet and can be performed to many different styles of music. Ballet and jazz/modern are highly recommended before children can really excel in contemporary dance.
We offer contemporary dance classes for children of all ages and levels. Our experienced instructors will help your child develop their skills in a fun and supportive environment while building their confidence and self-expression.
Acro dance is a beautiful and artistic dance style that is designed as a supplement to dance training. It is a great way for children to learn how to express themselves through visually stunning routines showing strength, balance, flexibility, and control. Acro dancers use their bodies to create exciting layers within a performance through partnering, lifts, and visual illusions.
The focus in both acro and gymnastics is strength, balance and flexibility but the difference in execution lies in the transition of movement, and the surface that you are using.
Galen is certified to examine and train her dancers in Acro. We offer acro dance classes for children of all ages and levels. Our experienced instructors will help your child develop their skills in a fun and supportive environment while building their confidence and self-expression.
Tap dance is a beautiful and rhythmic dance style that is characterized by using the sounds of tap shoes striking the floor as a form of percussion. It is a great way for children to learn how to express themselves through movement and music.
We offer tap dance classes for children of all ages and levels. Our experienced instructors will help your child develop their skills in a fun and supportive environment while building their confidence and self-expression.
There are several major variations on tap dance including rhythm (jazz) tap, classical tap, Broadway tap and post-modern tap. Galen was trained by the world renowned Bill Orlowsky (who created Canada’s National Tap Dance Company) and is certified to examine and train her dancers in Tap.
Hip-hop dance is a dynamic, and energetic dance style that refers to street dance styles primarily performed to hip-hop music or that have evolved as part of hip-hop culture. It is a great way for children and adults to learn how to express themselves through movement and music.
We offer hip-hop dance classes for children and adults of all ages and levels. Our experienced instructors will help you and your child develop your skills in a fun and supportive environment while building your confidence and self-expression.
