Congratulations to our IDA dancers who participated in their CDTA National Ballet and Tap examinations this week💙

These dancers have worked diligently all season to prepare for their exams. Dance examinations are an important part of a dancer’s training, helping to build strong technical foundations, discipline, confidence, artistry, and goal-setting skills. They provide valuable feedback and encourage continuous growth and progress.

Preparing for an exam is a long process for both teacher and student, requiring dedication, consistency, and attention to detail. We are incredibly proud of the hard work and commitment shown by all of our exam candidates.

A special shoutout to Miss Kerry and Miss Rosie, who assisted Miss Dawn with final Ballet training sessions over the past several weeks, while Miss Jess prepared our Tap dancers for success.

We are so proud of each and every one of you and look forward to celebrating your achievements when the results arrive! ✨

Join us in congratulating our one IDA 2026 graduate, Bronwyn, as she shares some parting words with us💙 Bronwyn Eagan

After 13 years of dancing, it’s hard to believe this chapter has come to an end. I am forever grateful for the memories, friendships, and lessons that dance has given me. I’ll miss the late-night rehearsals, competitions, and performances, but most of all, I’ll miss being able to be myself alongside the people I love most. Dance has helped me grow into the person I am today, and I will always carry those experiences with me.

I am graduating from Woodlawn High School, and this fall I will be attending StFX to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, with the goal of one day becoming a pediatric nurse at the IWK. A special thank you to Dawn and Jess for being the best teachers I could ask for!❤️

We all love you Ronnie, will miss you, and are excited for your future. We watched you grow at IDA over the past 5 years, into a beautiful, expressive dancer, and an amazing human💙

Congratulations to our IDA dancers who participated in Acrobatic Arts Inc examinations over the past two days, and huge thanks to our wonderful Acro examiner Krista Tingley who was so kind and supportive to our dancers.

Impressed with your commitment to progress your acrobatic skill sets, which takes time and focus💙

Shoutout to Miss Kerry & Miss Rosie who assisted Miss Dawn with final training sessions for our exam students over the past couple of weeks, and were present during exam sessions along with Miss Jess. We are proud to have only Certified Acrobatic Arts Teachers working with our Acro dancers, and this is demonstrated in the quality of teaching our students receive!
