We are now offering Parent and Child Classes (2-4  years) on Tuesday evenings and Thursday mornings.

Parent and Child (2- 4 years). Taught by Catrina von Radecki

Tuesday 5:00-5:45pm  REGISTER

Thursdays 10:30-11:30 am REGISTER

This class will provide a multi-sensory environment where parents/caregivers and children will leap, run, twist, gallop, bend and stretch together using a variety of props and music in a creative and trusting atmosphere.  An incredible opportunity to move and bond with your child.

These classes will use the BrainDance Methodology developed by Anne Green Gilbert, Creative Dance Centre, Seattle, WA.

“The BrainDance is an excellent full body-brain exercise based on developmental movement patterns that healthy human beings naturally move through in the first year of life. These movements (Breath, Tactile, Core-Distal, Head-Tail, Upper-Lower, Body-Side, Cross-Lateral, Vestibular, Eye-Tracking) integrate the primary reflexes that are the foundation for healthy brain development. The movements develop our whole brain (brain stem, mid-brain/limbic system, and cortex). As babies, we did these brain-developing movements on the floor. As children and adults, we continue to review these patterns in a variety of ways to keep our brains and bodies strong. The BrainDance lays the foundation for sensory-motor development and cognitive, physical, and social/emotional health.” Anne Green Gilbert

We are excited to now offer classes inspired by this methodology right here at the Guelph Youth Dance Training Program!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We are now offering more dance classes for Adults!

Our Adult Dance classes are geared to our GYD parents who want to be part of what their children do every day.  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 classes are non-stop moving to incredible live percussion that will exercise all your muscles including your brain! And NEW this year is Jazz with Kelly Steadman!  Kelly’s 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!

You can register by session- Fall, Winter and/or Spring or register for the whole year!  We can prorate your class fee if you start your class mid session.

You do not need to be a GYD parent to join!  We just want to stress that this is a class to get you in the door to start dancing (perhaps after a long time hiatus). No special skills required, you just need to be brave enough to sign up!
