2025 in Review
New dancers, dancing on pointe for the first time, others returning to dance.
Socializing through community events like variations workshops, sewing workshops, Barre and Bar, costume crafting, and more!
A few dancers made their way to Halifax for an Adult Dance Intensive .
Many laughs with double stuffed Oreos, googley eyes on butts, so many uses of painter’s tape, and anything for new ways to look at turn out.
Preparing for a show during the Fall, learning, rehearsing, a packed dress rehearsal, a wonderful performance.
Thank you for dancing with us in 2025!

Act 2 : A ballet répertoire showcase, was a standing ovation success.
It was a privilege to watch 70 amateur dancers sparkling from the inside out.
The outside sparkles were from the Costume vision and direction of .
On a personal note, I am very proud of all the dancers, it takes courage to perform for an audience, dedication to remember and refine the choreography, consistency to attend c’asses regularly to develop technique, patience, to repeat the same section until the rehearsal director is pleased, and so many other attributes.
Many thanks to all involved, dancers, friends, family, making costumes, learning the bow in our drop-in classes.
