Adults Classes

Our Adult Dance classes are geared to adults who want to be physical, creative, meet new people and learn new skills.

Yes, you might feel a bit scared, but why not do it anyway so you can experience all the benefits of dance in your life too!!!

Janet’s Contemporary Technique classes (beginner/intermediate) are non-stop moving to incredible live percussion that will exercise all your muscles including your brain!

Kelly’ s Beginner Jazz classes are super fun! A balanced conditioning warm-up, funky combinations full of traveling steps, kicks, spins and isolations make this class both challenging and fun!

NEW this year is an Adult lunch time series with Adult Yoga and Pre and Post Natal Nia with Janet Ragan, and Ballet Bootcamp and Hip Hop classes with Heather van den Broek.

Guelph Youth Dance Values

Dance is an art form that trains the entire person; body, mind and soul.

At GYD we value:
A trusting and nurturing environment
A safe, creative and open space
A place where children and their parents can move, sweat, laugh and play
A well thought out and rigorous dance curriculum
An opportunity to dance to incredible live percussion
A tightknit Community- friends, parents, teachers, choreographers, health care providers, audiences
Physical and mental well-being
A space free of phones
A non-competitive atmosphere
The art of expression, risk and innovation
Independence- even for our youngest dancer- so that they can to take care of themselves, be responsible for themselves and enjoy their full strength and individuality.
High quality and well educated teachers who come into the studio each day well prepared, with great enthusiasm and with respect for each individual who comes into the room.

We look forward to dancing with you all soon!

Dancing with Catrina and Janet changed my daughter from a very early age. Her freedom to move in a passionate and emotional way is a gift to her – from you. I really love what you do and respect the integrity of your instructional methods and philosophy. Thank you, Monique Monique Cadieux
