Welcome to our August Summer Sessions 2022!

(Still need to sign up for summer…? Enrol online today!)

Here are a few notes to help you through your week(s)….

Week 1-4 classes are Monday to Friday.

Classes begin at 9am for Ballet Intensives (weeks 1-3) and Tiny Tots Dance Camp (week 4)
Classes begin at 12pm for our Junior Dance Camp (week 4).

The school and office will be open by 8:15am daily

Please visit the office if you have any questions, and for payments or dance wear.
If you have not already paid your summer tuition, please do so before your first class.

Ballet Intensive students should be at the school 10-15 minutes before class in order to have time to prepare for their first class.

Studio A is on the ground floor as you enter the school building, past the office.
Studio B is on the upper floor.
Tiny Tots Dance Camp (age 3-5) is in Studio A (9am-11am) Aug 29-Sep 2

Ballet Intensive Level A begins in Studio A (9am-5pm) Aug 8-12, 15-19, 22-26
Ballet Intensive students should gently stretch and warm-up before class.
New families – please introduce yourselves at the office when you first arrive at the school. 🙂

Please remember to pack healthy snacks, water bottles and a healthy lunch (for those with us all day)

Always avoid sugary drinks & processed foods as they will not give you the proper nutrition or energy you need for your day!
Don’t forget your cutlery if you are bringing food that needs a spoon or fork.
Avoid bringing nuts at the school as some students have severe nut allergies.
We have a filtered water fountain and water-bottle filling station in the lobby.
We no longer have microwave or fridge available for students, so pack a cold lunch or use insulated lunch bags.

Dress codes in summer are more casual than the school year.
