🩰 INVITE A FRIEND WEEK IS COMING!
Dance is more fun with friends, so during the week of Sept 21-25, we're inviting our CKDA dancers to bring a friend along to class!
Have a friend who has talked about trying dance? Bring them with you! This is a chance to join a class, meet our teachers and see what CKDA is all about.
There is no charge for your friend's visit, and they don't need special dance clothes or shoes to give it a try. Just come ready to move and have fun!
CKDA families — talk us up! Share this post, tag a friend or send it to someone you think would enjoy dancing with us.
We can't wait to meet your friends! ❤️

Please join us in congratulating Advance Dancers, Aubree Featheringill and Peyton Hoffman on their traineeships with North Pointe Ballet.

🩰 Aubree is embarking on her first year as a trainee with NPB after being a part of their youth cast for the last 4 years.
🩰 Peyton is embracing her second year as a trainee with NPB after also being a part of their youth cast in the past.

You will have opportunities to see both of them with NPB in numerous outreaches, NPB’s United We Dance performance in the park, NPB’s production of Nutcracker, and NPB’s spring ballet Hercules. You will also have the chance to catch them in CKDA performances this year, too!

Keep your eyes out, as we will be sure to share where and when you can see them perform.
