Testimonials

“Our 6 year old has been taking classes with Guelph Youth Dance for 2 years now and I can’t say enough about what a high quality and special place this school is. Classes are taught by incredibly talented dancers who are also tremendously skilled at teaching children. The approach to dance is a very holistic one that connects movement to music, breath, imagery and to each child’s individuality. It leads to confident and skilled dancers with a real love of dance! If you’re considering a dance class for your child, I would highly recommend you check this out.”

“We have put both our daughters through this amazing dance school and we could not be happier with it. They have provided amazing dance training and given our girls incredible opportunities. Their focus is on technique , work ethic and creativity. They not only become well trained dancers but thoughtful and creative thinkers that learn to work well with others. The training goes far beyond dance. They become better human beings. I highly recommend this school!”

“Outstanding teaching and commitment to dance being a fun experience for everyone no matter body size or shape. Non-toxic dance culture.”

“We love the teachers! They are very kind and caring. The studio and atmosphere is welcoming and organized – low pressure yet takes dance seriously and fosters a love of dance in the kids.”

“Dancing with Catrina and Janet changed my daughter from a very early age. Her freedom to move in a passionate and emotional way is a gift to her – from you. I really love what you do and respect the integrity of your instructional methods and philosophy. Thank you, Monique.”

“I find it hard to find the words to express how much value this kind of arts programming has for the kids that are involved, but also for our larger community – these kids will grow into better people for their experiences with this program and our community is enriched as a result – not to mention the beautiful art itself… Please pass on our sincere thanks to Adam as well – he had a big impact on the kids…. they love him.”

“You lead by example and teach our youth that beauty comes from within and that their ideas and visions are important. I think you are doing incredible work!”

“GYD was an amazing experience for our daughter. It helped her with her self confidence and encouraged her to move her body in ways that helped her take up space. I loved the creativity of the class and Catrina is such a wonderful teacher. She is warm and passionate and has a unique ability to anticipate the needs of little ones!”
