The Canadian Dance Factory extends an invitation to you for an exciting season of dance.

Each season consists of two terms:

Term 1 - September 14th, 2009 to January 30th, 2010
Term 2 - February 1st, 2010 to May 29th, 2010

Our studio offers classes in many forms of dance for all dancers. We also have a competitive dance team which consists of students who wish to take their dancing to a new level. These dancers are chosen via an audition process or by invitation. Additional information can be obtained from the studio.

JAZZ  -  This popular fun and energetic style of dance is seen often on television shows, movies, music videos and commercials. This form of dance consists of unique moves and footwork, big leaps and quick turns. Jazz is designed to emphasize Technique and Style while developing flexibility, strength and a sense of musicality.

TAP – This exciting form of dance sees dancers use their feet like drums to create rhythmic patterns and beats as well as using their arms and upper bodies to blend movements of ballet or jazz. Tap gives students a sense of rhythm, agility and coordination.

BALLET – This classical style of dance is the base of all dance forms. It teaches grace, balance, flexibility and strength while developing technique and discipline. Ballet develops strength and posture while increasing body awareness.

LYRICAL – This very popular dance form combines the styles and techniques applied to both jazz and ballet. To excel in lyrical, dancers need to also take ballet as it encourages grace and balance.

HIP HOP (6 and over) & HIPPITY HOP (4-5 years) - A dance form which consists mainly of street dance styles, primarily danced to hip hop music. This high-energy class not only improves physical fitness, but rhythm, freestyle movement, and self-confidence as well. Hip Hop classes are set to the latest music. Be prepared for a fun-filled hour of this video and street-styled challenge. Adult Hip Hop classes available.

MUSICAL THEATRE - This form of dance is story-telling through dance with lip-sync or singing and acting to tell a story.

BABY BOOGIE - This class is offered for the 2 ½ to 3 year old child, introducing rhythm, basic positions, movements, and general dance terminology. Children learn to listen to the music and move in time. At these groups special attention is paid to developing a child's body awareness and promoting muscle development. These classes provide an excellent basis for further development and prepare children for increasingly difficult higher levels. This level reveals a child's talents and preferences and is helpful in selection of further direction - ballet, jazz, tap, or other dance styles.

CREATIVE MOVEMENT - This class is designed as an introduction to movement for children of the pre-school age. It is a highly successful program and the children love to sing and dance and interpret music through movement with the basics of ballet being taught through creative ideas. Combine the above with the fun of interaction with children his/her own age, and you have an invaluable learning experience for your child. (Combo classes for Tap/Creative Movement are available in this age group.)
