Only a few days of summer camp remain available if you are looking for daytime care on any of these dates:

• Monday, August 14
• Thursday, August 17
• Friday, August 18
• Thursday, August 24

To register in any of these classes or dates, please log into the parent portal and select FIND CLASSES.

Fall Registration

Thank you to our 300+ students & families who have already registered for fall 2023 classes. We appreciate your support of our small business, and we look forward to making season #27 the best one yet! If you haven’t registered for fall classes yet, the sooner the better for the best availability.

June Recital Videos

Reminder: June Recital Videos are READY to Download! Links were emailed to all performing students at the beginning of July. Please check your junk folder if you didn’t see the email(s). Please download your files for keeping no later than September 1, 2023.

Shoe Charms

Do your kids like shoe charms as much as mine? We have North London Dance Centre shoe charms! $5+tax and you can purchase at the studio front desk. Stop by and pick up a little surprise for your favourite dancer today!

Studio Lobby Reminders

Our studio lobby is small and can only accommodate seating for 15. If your child’s class is at one of our busier times, and there are no seats available, we would appreciate if you could occasionally wait outside / in your vehicle and/or only send one caregiver inside the facility. We also ask families to take calls / facetime outside, and if sound is being used on a device, please wear earphones.

Class Spotlight – PBT

Progressing Ballet Technique is a program developed to help students advance in all dance forms by training muscle memory. PBT focuses on core stability, weight placement and alignment, and is practiced internationally. This class is a perfect complement to our ballet program.

Fall class times:

• Adult & Level 8+ PBT – Sundays 5:15 pm

Summer Session 2 class time:

• Adult Open PBT – Tuesdays 8:15 pm
• Level 2-7 PBT – Mondays 5:30 pm
