The week of November 18th-23rd, students are welcome to bring a friend to their dance class! This is a great way for you to let your friends in on all the fun you have at dance!
Please note that company rehearsals do not apply.
All guest dancers must be registered in advance and signed the liability form in order to attend. Spots are limited so be sure to register early to ensure your friends spot!
The week of December 2-7th, we will open the studio doors to anyone who wishes to watch a class in progress. This is a great opportunity if you have a dancer who might want to join a class but is unsure, if you cannot make one of the Open Houses, or if you have more then 2 people that want to come and see your dancer in action. This is also a great way for the dancers to see the other classes and what they have been up to. We highly encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity!
Please note that the Open Houses replace all regular classes December 9-14th. The Open Houses are the final show before the holiday season begins. Regular classes resume the week of January 6th, 2020. Open Houses will be followed by a little party with snacks! Please bring a nut free contribution!
Please note that the Open House time may be different than your regular class time.

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!
