“Our 6 year old has been taking ballet 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 ballet 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!”
