Can We Watch Classes?
To encourage independence, every dancer will enter their class independently (unless it is a specific parent and dancer class). Parents/Caregivers will not be able to watch their dancers class on a weekly basis. However, there will be lots of communication and opportunities to watch classes or performances. We do not offer viewing windows or cameras for the safety of our dancers and staff.
Do We Have a Year End Recital?
We offer two end of term shows.
Term 1 will finish with our free admission Holiday Spectacular. All proceeds and donations will be delivered to the Simcoe Hall Settlement House. No costumes are required for this show.
Term 2 will be completed with our fabulous year end recital at the end of May at the theatre within the Hope Fellowship Church in Courtice. All students participate in this fabulous celebration with costumes and reserved seating (additional expense)
