every May

The year-end recital

Every student — from the discovery group to the adults — takes the stage for real, with lighting, costumes and a full house. It's the moment 'I can't do it' becomes 'look at me go'.

For parents: two dress rehearsals, costume included in session fees (max $35), tickets on sale in April. We take care of the rest.

“I'm not good enough”

— everyone, before their first class

Nobody is born a dancer. Our beginner groups are made up of... beginners. We laugh, we mess up, we start again — and after a few weeks, we're really dancing.

No prerequisites. No test, no audition for recreational classes. We place you in the right group, that's it.
Free trial class. Come try it before signing up — no commitment, no credit card.
What to wear? Comfortable clothes and clean socks or sneakers. Specialized shoes can wait until the 2nd session.
Zero judgment. No mirror requirement in the first weeks for beginner adult groups. Yes, really.

Your first class is free

Call us or write to us: we'll suggest a group, you come try it, and you decide after. That simple.
