'Tis the season for stormy weather

2012-01-23T14:09:00.000-08:00

Now that Winter is upon us we may experience the occasional canceled

class. While we try to keep these to a minimum they will occur if the

weather is severe.

If this happens here are a few things you need to know:

If a class is canceled due to the weather, Miss Andrea will make the decision no later than 2:00pm that day OR by 7:30am on Saturdays.

A message will be left on the studio answering machine indicating that classes for that day are canceled. Please note, this message will only be recorded if the classes ARE canceled otherwise you will hear our usual recording and classes will continue as usual.

Classes canceled due to weather will not be made up as stated in the registration package.

You may also receive an phone class and/or e-mail so please check all of these before heading out to avoid arriving at an empty studio.

Welcome to another season of dance!!!

To all of our returning students thank you for helping to make last season a great one and to all of our new students welcome to the Orillia Dance Academy and congratulations to all of the students who took their Ballet Exams this past spring!

At the Orillia Dance Academy, we offer a friendly, caring but disciplined atmosphere where our students can develop their talents in all areas of dance. All of our qualified staff are excited to begin a new dance season with new and old faces. Each of our staff are trained to teach the level that we require of them.

We are a studio that prides itself with being fully registered with the Royal Academy of Dance and the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing, both worldwide organizations.

There have been a few new changes at the Orillia Dance Academy this year! We have expanded and now have 2 studios! This will allow us the opportunity to offer more classes in varying styles and accommodate private coaching sessions. Please continue to use the Unit 3 entrance only enter only and keep the Unit 2 door for emergency exit only. As you will see there are boot trays for outdoor shoes in Unit 3, this will help keep out dance shoes clean and dry as dancers move from the dressing room to the studios.

This year we would like to welcome two new teachers, Nicola Russell will be teaching our Hip Hop programs as well as Kim Dodson who will be teaching our tap program, in addition we are pleased to welcome back Sarah Lochhead, founder of Simcoe Contemporary Dancers, who will again be teaching Contemporary dance as well as Lyrical Jazz and Limón Modern at our school. We look forward to having all of these teachers as part of our dance family at Orillia Dance Academy. We also offer classes in Musical Theatre and Kinderdance.

NEW THIS YEAR we have Rosanna Shilolo of Sunrise Yoga Studio teaching Yoga for dancers! This class offers the opportunity to improve on flexibility, stamina and strength for the dancer as well as improving the mind/body connection. Monday night classes are also available to adults and non-dancers at a rate of $15.00per class to be paid directly to Rosanna.

Also NEW and beginning mid October ZUMBA Classes!!!! Dates, times and fees will be released shortly, please inquire if you are interested.

It's registration time!
