Congratulations to all of the Youth Ballet Collective dancers on an incredible first season!
This evening marks the end of our inaugural season, and we couldn’t be prouder of the dedication, hard work, and growth each of you has shown throughout the year. Your steady progress, commitment, and love of ballet have made this first season truly special.
It wasn’t just about technique and performances. It was about building friendships, sharing laughs, celebrating achievements, and, of course, bonding over ice cream and Tim Hortons!
Thank you for making this first season such a memorable one. We can’t wait to welcome you all back in September as we continue to grow together, challenge ourselves, and create even more wonderful memories. Marie & Martin.

While we missed some of our company members who are away, the rest of the Youth Ballet Collective dancers enjoyed watching performance in Bowring Park this afternoon. It is so important for the younger generation to watch those who have travelled , and continue to travel , the path of professional dance.
It was a beautiful day to be outside enjoying and supporting the art form we all love.
