September 21st 12:15-6:00pm

Are you trying new classes and new movements?  Have you grown since last season?  If so, then chances are you will be feeling new sensations in your muscles and joints as you return to dance this month.  Start the year with a Dancer Screening assessment with physiotherapist Heather Finn, who will carefully evaluate your posture and movement and identify simple ways to improve your strength, flexibility, posture, turnout, jumps, turns or your own goals for dance fitness.  To book your Dancer Screening session at Guelph Youth Dance on September 21, click here.

 Saturday October 5, 2019 from 4:15 to 5 pm 

Heather Finn, registered physiotherapist is looking forward to seeing Guelph Youth dancers (age 14+) for an interactive session on Performance Profiling, as recommended by Healthy Dancer Canada. 

• • If you are a dancer, Performance Profiling will help you to identify what dimensions of dance you find important, enhance your focus and direction of training, and promote your development as an artist and performer. 
• • If you are a parent or teacher, Performance Profiling will help you to understand your dancer’s/dancers’ perspectives, form a basis for collective goal-setting, skills training, training schedule development, and measure your dancer’s/dancers’ progress. 

A performance profile visually represents your perception of the many aspects of your dance process and performance, including: 

• • Physical: Strength, flexibility, balance, sleep, nutrition, hydration, recovery, health, etc 
• • Technical: Coordination, agility, musicality, posture, body awareness, turns, jumps, etc 
• • Psychological: Confidence, motivation, concentration, mental skills, emotional mastery 
• • Artistic: Audience communication, embodiment, state of flow, etc 

Please RSVP to guelphyouthdance@gmail.com. The workshop is free!

It has been many years of people asking us about where to purchase dance wear.  Our favourite spot with the biggest selection is Dance Inspirations in Kitchener.  We know that this is far to drive for some, or that delivery charges can be more than the cost of some items.

We have therefore decided to have a small selection of tights available for purchase at the studio (cash only).

In addition, we will be accepting online orders of  body suits and tights. We have some samples at the studio which you are welcome to try.  Dancers can try on the samples on the following days:

Some children’s sizes 4-13 will be available for immediate purchase.

To place an order:  See links below for selections available.

E-mail Kelly at guelphyouthstudios@gmail.com with the title of the email PURCHASE.

Payment must be made at time of order through etransfer to guelphyouthstudios@gmail.com. The password needs to be: dancewear
