Thank you so much for your patience as we work through what we feel is best for our families and our community. With Code Red restrictions and with the uncertainty of the safety of returning to the studio, we have decided to move forward with our Online Class schedule until Guelph is in Code Orange. We hope that this will be in a few weeks!
For those of you who would like to register for the winter/spring term and only dance online- even when we move back to in studio classes, please feel free to register for the regular winter/spring term and email the office to let us know. We will then be sure to find a way for you to continue dancing online with us when we move back to in studio classes. Please note that this may result in changes to your scheduled class times.
We are making plans to resume to outdoor classes for May and June (if allowed). These outdoor classes will be available first to those registered for the winter/spring season and the total class numbers will continue to be restricted.
Below is the online schedule that we will be following until Guelph is in Code Orange.
Your names will automatically be added to these class times if you are currently registered. Please go to the Portal to see your child’s weekly schedule.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I do not want to take online classes. Can I start back when you are open for in studio classes?
Yes- this is totally fine to opt out of the online classes and wait until we return to the studio. Please note, however, if you would like your spot reserved in the class you will not receive a refund for these missed classes. We strongly recommend staying registered for your classes as there is a waiting list in most classes.
How do I access my online class?
All zoom links are found on your Portal. Once you log in you will see your child (rens) names and Today’s Schedule. Please click on the camera icon that is next to the class you are loging in to (please note links have not yet been set up so you will not see them there until Tuesday). Please be sure to be on time for your class. We recommend logging in 5 minutes prior to class to be sure all is running well.
I am an Apprentice, Young Company or Company member- if I opt out of the online classes will this count towards the 3 absences we are allowed to have before not being in a piece?
No. We will not count any missed online classes towards your eligibility to be in a piece that your group is working on right now. We do however, strongly encourage you to take the online classes to keep up with your training, stay in touch with other company members and be part of the rehearsal process.
I registered for the full year, or the winter/spring term and would like to withdraw. Will I get a refund.
Yes. We will provide full refunds for all those that no longer wish to dance. Please note that once you withdraw, you will no longer be guaranteed a spot in that class.
I loved the outdoor classes- will you be holding classes outdoors again this year?
Yes! We hope to run all our classes outdoors for May and June in various backyards located close to downtown. We also hope to have our Spring Shows and Open Houses outdoors. This was very successful in the Fall.
Can I register for only the outdoor classes?
We will open up the opportunity to register for May and June classes only where there are spaces. We will let families know by April. Please note that most classes are full and therefore spaces will be very limited.
Other questions?
Please feel to email us!

We will continue to monitor and implement the local, provincial and federal recommendations as they’re announced and make changes as necessary. We will take each week, or day to day, into consideration as it approaches and keep you updated on what’s happening. We will be updating through Facebook and email.
We take pride in our facility and how it operates and would like to highlight the protocols we have in place at GYD to help our dance families stay healthy and safe for when we are allowed to reopen.
Prevention Steps:
To make that a safe entrance for everyone to use. Here’s how this will work…
How you can help:
Each family is encouraged to make their own decision about coming to the studio, please do what you feel comfortable with and what makes the most sense for you and your family. Your health and safety are most important to us!!
We are so looking forward to healthier times and when we can hug all of your little ones again, they are such a bright spot in our day! The well-being of our students and families is a top priority! Please know that we are here to address any concerns or issues and are happy to hear from you on additional ways we can keep our community healthy!
Sincerely,
Catrina and Janet

When registering you will only be asked to pay a non-refundable registration fee of $25 plus HST until classes begin (maximum of 2 registration fees per family). Company non-refundable deposits are $100-$150 plus HST. These fees will reserve your spot in the classes you choose. Credits can be used to pay this fee.
Winter Tuition will be due on January 4th. Please note that we are happy to make payment plans (monthly or quarterly).
At this time families can decide if they wish to stay registered in their classes or opt out. Only the $25 registration fee and company deposits will be non-refundable. We hope this will provide families with the flexibility to move forward with what you are most comfortable with once we know more, while providing us with a sense of what families are looking for at this time.
Please be sure to put you or your child on a waiting list if a class is full as we can also add more classes to the schedule if necessary.
